Summary

Most core exercises are symmetrical and linear — but that’s not how you actually use your body day to day. This short sequence intentionally incorporates offset and rotational movement to help you connect more deeply to your center in a way that translates to real life. You’ll move through two variations of a staggered plank hold, then a rocking sequence on the floor that asks your torso to stay soft while your body finds its edges. The whole thing takes just a few minutes and should leave your center feeling a little more awake — and maybe a little more connected. Want to go deeper on the ideas behind this kind of movement? More in the upcoming book, Spinal Intelligence. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit jennpilotti.substack.com/subscribe
