Every year our most senior students at the Hatha Yoga Center choose a posture for us to focus on all year. This year it was agreed that the posture will be Plank, like Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg practices daily. Special attention on alignment, with classic cat and cow postures will broaden that focus to insure safety as we strengthen and open.
In personal training, Plank is considered to be one of the Pillar postures. It is basically the preparation position for push-up. Holding the posture while breathing, correctly aligned, results in a stronger core. With a stronger core, we are able to remain centered, as we experience these first days of 2020, and perhaps throughout the year, as well as the decade.
What practices will help you stay centered through this new year? In what way can you ensure safety as you strengthen your core alignment? Ki to Happiness practices staying centered safely.

Thank you, Ki. Can’t think of a more fitting posture for 2020 – centred and strong, safely. To improve my ‘home’ practice this year, I’ve invited a couple of friends to join me – support, discipline and sustainable. Can’t wait to see how we get on!
I am with you in spirit. Supporting you and your friends as you move into 2020 with your practices connected to our at Hatha Yoga Center.
