35 Yoga Poses No One Ever Told You Are Core Work

Ask any yoga student what they’d like to focus on in class and there’s a reasonable chance that they’ll request—or perhaps demand—“core work.” What many of us don’t understand is that it’s almost impossible to create a yoga sequence that doesn’t work the core in some way.
