The strength of the core is essential, for so many reasons. Abdominal structures support the spine. A rock solid core will provide protection to any weakness in the back.
YogaA twisted and bendy spine stays younger for longer. The more range of movement achieved by the spine, as part of yoga practice, the more supple it stays and the less restricted it becomes. Separting the actions of each vertebrae from the one next to it and utilizing the small stabilizing and rotational structures, ensures healthier movement which is usually associated with that of a younger person.
