title: Yoga techniques as a means of core stability training.
abstract: Core stability in general involves the muscular control required around the lumbar spine to maintain functional stability. Stability and movement are critically dependent on the coordination of all the muscles surrounding the lumbar spine. This paper aims to show that an age-old yoga practice, called Uddhyana Bhanda and Nouli, is an effective means of core stability.
