Description

360° breathing and core stabilization provide our bodies with the foundation needed for all movement.  They significantly influence the quality of movement up and down the entire kinetic chain but retraining these engrained motor patterns is challenging.  Learn effective strategies to train proper timing, coordination and expansion of the core muscles - when they are in sync, you’ve got strong, supported movement.  With improved recognition of common compensations and cues to help refine the quality of respiration and stabilization, you will be able to immediately implement diaphragm training with clients and make a big difference in their movement and performance.
