Yoga Link Core Integration with Jill Miller

In Yoga Link | Core Integration – A Total Abdominal Awakening, Jill leads viewers through an in-depth exploration of all major and minor muscle groups that comprise the body’s core, which she refers to as “a physiologic and energetic hub of activity that gives us physical stability and digestive regularity. It’s also a vital source of determination, will and purpose in our lives.”

There are also special exercises that bring more awareness to the abdominal diaphragm, the muscle that governs respiration. The poses and exercises that Jill demonstrates strengthen and lengthen all the core muscles and mobilize the spine, “linking this foundational center to overall health and well-being.”

Each DVD in the Yoga Link series targets specific regions of our bodies that, according to Jill Miller, tend to be areas of chronic weakness and congestion: “We spend too much time sitting idle at computers and in cars with poor posture. Using Yoga Link’s techniques, anyone can create healthy balanced hips, shoulders, and a powerful core to break through the cycle of pain that stems from our everyday habits.”

Each of the DVDs is divided into two main sections: a workshop that provides detailed instructions on all the exercises, including the use of props and adaptations, and a practice section, which provides complete practice routines that viewers can do as often as they would like. On each DVD, Jill recommends that viewers first watch the Yoga Link chapter, which provides the basis for the entire system and then the Breathing Primer, which provides essential breathing techniques that are used throughout the practices. “The Primer teaches basic breathing techniques because most people don’t breathe properly. The Primer also serves as a guided relaxation routine because often stress and emotions can affect breathing,” Jill says. “If you change how you breathe, you can change how you feel.”
