hello everyone welcome or welcome back to my channel my name is Joelle and today we have a 10 minute yoga class to focus on strengthening and toning our abdominals which I promise will not be as scary as it might sound so let's get started right away on our backs you can start by planting both feet and rolling all the way down close the eyes and rest the hands on top of the belly to start out let's just take a deep inhale through the nose feeling the hands rise and exhale feeling them drop [Music] once you've done that we'll transfer the hands behind the head coming into sunbathe their arms so the elbows are falling away from each other and again take a deep breath in filling the belly foreign everything contract take another deep breath in here and then exhale to contract and this time think about squeezing your lower back towards the mat so squeezing through the glutes Contracting the abdominals pressing everything down into the Earth and then release we'll take that a few more times so on your next exhale squeeze contract and press and think about crushing something underneath your lower back and release and we'll just take that one more time here so even harder think about squeezing and Contracting everything [Music] pressing it down and release really nicely done let's leave the left foot where it is and inhale your right knee up to tabletop and then exhale to pull that right knee in towards the chest inhale back to tabletop and exhale to tap those toes down and again inhale the right knee to tabletop exhale Pull It in close back to tabletop and tap it down just one more time on this side table top pull it in send it back to tabletop and set that right foot down just take one breath in between sides here we've still got our sunbather arms going for us think about the elbows pressing down into the Earth and left side so left knee comes up to tabletop on your inhale exhale to pull that knee in towards your heart send it back to table and tap those toes down two more table pull it in send it back tap it down last time go and get your own pace here following your breath and set that foot down beautiful remove the hands from behind the head open your arms out to the shape of a t and let's bring both knees up to tabletop now squeezing them in together take an inhale and then on your exhale drop both knees towards the right but don't let them touch down and then inhale them back to Center and on your next exhale send them over towards the left without touching the ground coming back and take that a few times side to side going at the pace of your breath on the exhales we drop to one side or the other and on the inhales we return to Center just try one more on each side finishing it out back to Center really nice now we'll take both sets of toes and tap them down lift them back up three more times touch them down back to table two more and you can do it last one and pull those knees in towards the chest just give yourself a little hug a Little Rock from side to side before rolling over onto our right side now prop yourself up on your right forearm we can bend both knees so we're making a long straight line with the front of the body and take your left hand and hold on to the right side of your ribs think about using this hand to lift yourself off of the mat and then softly set yourself down so we're pretending that it's the hand doing the work but secretly it's really the ABS that are helping us lift up and down here a few times this is one of those that always feels a little bit harder to me than it looks let's just try one more time lifting and lowering really nicely done let's extend through both legs reach your left arm up alongside your ear and then we'll bring the left elbow and left knee to tap and extend everything out and bring them back in let them touch send them away two more times and last one pull them together reach them apart really reach make yourself as long as possible here and then let that rest down let's take a little side stretch before we move on here so just widen your right hand out a little bit to the side we'll lift up into a side seal or side Cobra you're welcome to move your right hand further away from you just to give yourself a little bit more space if you'd like really breathing into the side of your abdominals feeling a nice stretch here just one more breath [Music] and let's release bringing ourselves back towards the mat and over to the other side so just swing your legs around resting down onto the left hip and left forearm finding that nice long line in the front of the body as you bend through the knees right hand comes to hold on to the left ribs and we lift ourselves up and set ourselves down and a few more so you can exhale as you lift inhale as you lower looking for just that tiny little extra bit of lift each time just one more and as you set yourself down we can extend through both legs really reaching them long right arm up alongside the ear and this time right elbow and knee come to kiss and lengthen those limbs away from each other so we're still squeezing through the ABS we're staying nice and stable that will help with any balance or wobbling issues last one send them away really reach retreat and then set everything down widen that left hand towards the corner of your mat so that we can come up into that side seal take a few breaths slowing things down for just a moment it's well deserved let's roll ourselves into an all-forest position now shoulders above wrists hips above knees once you've arrived you might like to step it out a little bit side to side with those knees just to get settled in now squeeze through the ABS pull your right knee towards your right wrist and then set it back and now left knee towards left wrist and place it down two more just like this right side and left keeping the body as still as possible just moving that knee last one now slightly different this time bring the right knee towards the right elbow slide that knee down towards your wrist pull it back up towards the elbow and set it down now left knee to left elbow slide it towards the wrist slide it back up and set it down two more times on each side elbow down to wrist back to Elbow put it down left side [Music] last time right knee to right elbow push it down Pull It Up set it back left side down to the wrist back to the elbow and put it back and let's just stretch ourselves back into child's pose here sitting back towards your heels forehead towards the mat roll yourself back up through tabletop swing the legs out in front of you so that we can come to a seated boat position so in seated boat we bring the knees back up towards 90 degrees the toes are off of the mat you could keep the fingertips alongside you or perhaps reach them alongside your legs we'll try those toe Taps One Last Time tapping them down pulling the knees back up three more we're almost there you can do it touch those toes down pull them back up hold here if you'd like you can even extend through the legs and point the toes last deep breath in and exhale to set everything down come to a comfortable seat of your choice just so that we can lean ourselves to one side again feeling a nice deep stretch through the sides of your abs and spring yourself over towards the other side and last little thing just take hold of your knees inhale the heart forwards exhale to round through the back sit yourself up nice and Tall give yourself a little pat on the stomach perhaps let's inhale the arms up overhead Palms to touch and exhale them down in front of the heart or even in front of the belly well done today I hope you feel proud of yourself for those efforts those are not easy moves but they are great ones to come

  3. Thank you for this Beginner Abs Workout! I’ve never seen this level of Abs before! Perfect!

  4. Great video Joelle. I really appreciate the wide scope of your videos!

  5. Thank you for your classes. I have Long Covid, and find your gentle classes (when I feel up to doing them) very helpful. Previously, I did Pilates at an advanced level, but I am very prone to "overdoing" it, and worsening my health. Your gentle classes are a good tempo for me, and I enjoy them. A heartfelt Thank you. 😊

  6. Great little abs workout – lovin' it – thanks 🙂

  7. Core on fire with those boat pose taps and obliques are burning 🔥

  8. I absolutely loved this, I suffer from lower back problems and this was perfect in time, in method … It's an every day practice for me now ❤. Thank u Joelle ❤

  9. Thankyou beautiful soul 🤍

  10. Awesome thank you ! Not as scary as I thought it would be! Lol 🙏🙏🙏

  11. Thank you this was perfect for me. I'm struggling with both my core and glutes they're so lazy. I'm doing much better overall. You've helped so much with some issues I have in my hips. So thank you for sharing 😊

  12. Good one. Well needed Thanjk you ❤

  13. Love your classes! I did the 10am yoga challenge and loved it, now I can’t stop…and it’s spurred me on to exercise even more. Now I’m swimming, working out in the gym, doing yoga every morning! Thank you so much for your content 🙏❤️

  14. My abs thank you! Namaste 🙏🏾

  20. This practice was so good, Joelle😀❤ Thank you again for your time putting together the video for us😀

  21. Good, refreshing challenge. My abs (who knew I had them?) thank you😃🙏❤

  22. Loving the 7 day challenge. Nice and short and doable. I also finished the 28 day challenge. I plan on going back to your yin videos. That's how I found you! Thank you and happy 2023!

  23. I think I may have missed something listening to this…. When we touch same elbow to same knee on our sides, are we lifted off the floor? I wasn't, so want to be sure I do it right next time! Sure do feel my abs and obliques! Thanks!

  24. this brought me to an idea – a mixture of yoga stretches and core training, all in the pace of yin yoga would be great!

  25. That was a beginner class!😂My core was on fire! I just finished a kickboxing class so my abs were already fatigued! Thanks for the challenge!😛🙏

  26. I almost skipped this one! So glad I didn't! Just challenging enough to know my abs worked, but not so much that I was struggling to do the poses!

  27. This was more challenging thank you it looked😂 My core is warm now for sure. Thank you for this original ab routine Joelle😊
