It's Tip Time Tuesday & today we're talking about your core! Core strength is helpful for nose riding, as our trunk is controlling our hips and the hips control our balance while hanging 10. Similar to the "Uddiyana Bandha" or upward abdominal lift practiced in some types of yoga, there is an upward pull through the core when hanging 10. This isn't necessarily 'thought about' when riding the wave, but it is a good thing to develop in land practice. Our breath is essential to core strength and the Bandha techniques can help develop those muscles!
