## 4 Yoga Poses to Fire Up Your core
Strengthen your midsection with these poses that challenge your stability and build heat.
### 1. Dead Bug
This foundational core exercise teaches you to stabilize your spine while moving your limbs. It’s a great way to prep for more challenging poses.
How to:
- Lie on your back with your knees bent at 90 degrees and your shins parallel to the mat. Extend your arms straight up toward the ceiling.
- Slowly lower your right arm and left leg toward the mat simultaneously, keeping your low back pressed into the mat.
- Return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side (left arm and right leg).
2. Boat Pose (Navasana) Variation
This variation of Boat Pose builds core strength and stability. It’s crucial to maintain a slight curve in the lower back, rather than rounding excessively.
How to:
- Sit on the mat with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lean back slightly,keeping your spine straight.
- Extend your legs and lift them a couple inches off the mat. Hover here, keeping a *natural* curve in your low back (avoid excessive rounding) and drawing your navel toward your spine. Arms can be extended forward, parallel to your legs.
