Relax, improve flexibility, prevent injury, and strengthen your core with this 10-Minute Beginner Yoga Workout for Stronger Abs!
Hey, hey, fellow Moms! If you're like me, then your core may be one part of your body that has never quite recovered from pregnancy. Are you with me?
And if you're like me, then you probably have children at home, life is probably REALLY busy these days, and you could probably use a little bit more ZEN in your life. Are you with me?
If you're sitting there nodding your head, then you have come to the right place! I've created a short, manageable yoga workout that combines the best of both worlds: you can take a deep breath, relax, and find some inner peace (at least for a few minutes)...all while strengthening that pesky midsection that could use some extra-special attention!
The key here is to engage your abs throughout the entire workout. With each pose, make sure that you are keeping your core tight and focus on strengthening that particular part of your body. You'll be amazed by how much those muscles can work with just a few simple moves.

Ah Blair! You are too cute with your yoga. I wish I could do yoga and envy people who do. It's just not a comfortable thing for me and my hip, but hopefully after surgery I'll have more mobility to do it.
You're going to have a whole new world open up after surgery, Megan -- I just know it! 🙂 And thank you!
