Intelligence of the Core Series

A 4-Part On-Demand Wellness Series with Catherine Wortmann

Discover a deeper connection to your center through mindful movement, breathwork, and the wisdom of yogic philosophy.

Core strength is about more than physical muscles—it’s also an invitation to explore balance, awareness, and the power we cultivate from within. In this four-part series, you’ll discover a more holistic approach to core work that weaves together gentle yet powerful yoga practices, intentional breathing, and traditional yogic philosophy.

Through core-focused yoga asana, you’ll explore the manipura chakra (solar plexus energy center), practice breathwork inspired by the concept of agni (digestive fire), and deepen your awareness of the connection between your physical center and inner experience.

Rather than focusing solely on building abdominal strength, this series invites curiosity, mindfulness, and a deeper understanding of your body’s innate intelligence.

Whether you’re new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, this series offers accessible practices with modifications for a variety of abilities and experience levels.
