Good core strength is key to staying mobile and keeping good posture. To build it, many people do core exercises like sit-ups, crunches, and Pilates-inspired moves. While these certainly have their place, yoga is an overlooked practice.
As well as helping the superficial core muscles (like the abdominals) get stronger, doing yoga as a workout includes many deep core exercises that can strengthen the muscles that sit around the spine, in the trunk, and across the pelvic floor. These are what really matter when it comes to improving your body's internal support and preventing injury.
