Happy New Year, all! However you chose to bid farewell to 2013– with a bubbly fete of friends, quiet night at home or away, or enjoying some extra shut-eye– I hope you’re fired up to start 2014.

Here’s my latest yoga video for Runner’s World, which is all about fire, fun, and waking up the center of your body– your center of heat, metabolism, and strength. Your belly.  Your abdominal muscles.  Your second and third chakras.  Your core.

On its own, in addition to more yoga, or combined with a run, this video is an ideal way to power up your favorite forms of fitness.  For runners, in particular, for whom I designed the sequence, a strong core is crucial for energy efficient running, proper form, good posture, added power, and greater back stability.

There’s plenty more to come this year on how to look and feel your strongest and best.  Please stay tuned and always feel free to post questions and requests in the comments.  I’d love to know what you think about this video and my others in the Runner’s World Yoga Center, on my YouTube Channel, and in the OG Library.

Enjoy!  And from the core of my being, THANK YOU, for reading and sharing OG, which began as a New Year’s resolution (one that stuck!) in 2008.
