Hello Reader,​
​
Your core is more than just muscles coordinating. It’s the centre of your being—the place where you align not only with yourself but also with the world around you.

For many, awareness of this place is limited, both physically and spiritually. And if the word spiritual makes you want to hit eject, hold tight. A while back, I shared a newsletter on different types of awareness: intercorporeality, proprioception, exteroception, and interoception. These aren’t “woo” concepts. They are ways to draw attention to parts of ourselves that are hard to define, yet resonate deeply.

Why does this matter?​
When we connect to the core of our being—on any plane, physical or otherwise—a gateway opens for:

• more resilience and tolerance for the hardships of life,
• better relationships (with ourselves and others),
• deeper communion with the natural and liminal world, and
• a clearer sense of purpose and direction.

You can do all the sit-ups in the world, but if you’re not connecting to this deeper understanding, can you really say your core is strong?

Ok, I know I’m getting philosophical and thank you for staying with me. Let’s put it into practice:

Quick Core Check-In

1. Sit or stand tall.
2. Place a hand on your belly and one on your spine.
3. Take a slow, deep breath, let your torso expand.
4. Notice where you feel strength and where you feel tension.

Your core isn’t just a physical location. It’s a reminder that you are supported from the inside out and the outside in.

✨ Who’s ready to explore more of that in their life?

​Drop in to Pilates Strong this week and explore how connecting to your core can transform your movement—and your presence.

Until next time, take very good care.
​
With heart,
Meg
