Introduction: Merging Core Strength with Soul Work
Let’s get real—core workouts don’t have to be robotic reps that disconnect you from your inner self. You can build abs and awaken your spirit at the same time. That’s the beauty of Soul Yoga, a mindful fusion of physical strength and soulful awareness.
These 8 powerful soul yoga drills are more than exercises—they’re rituals. Whether you’re new to yoga or deep into your spiritual yoga journey, this soulful sequence will ignite your core and harmonize your energy.
Ready to sculpt your core and spirit at the same time? Let’s dive in.
1. Fire Breath Plank (Igniting Inner Power)
How to Perform It
- Get into a forearm plank.
- Engage your core and begin breath of fire—short, quick breaths through the nose.
- Hold for 30-60 seconds.
Why It Works
This drill targets your abs, back, and soul’s fire center—the Solar Plexus Chakra. That’s the energetic seat of confidence and motivation.
Feel like you’re powering up a light within? You are.

2. Twisting Boat Pose (Awakening Spiritual Balance)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Sit on your mat, lift your legs into boat pose.
- Interlace fingers or hold a small block.
- Twist side to side slowly.
Benefits for Core and Spirit
Twisting tones your obliques but also massages your organs—great for emotional release. Spiritually, twisting detoxes stuck energy, like wringing out a sponge full of doubt.

3. Dolphin Push-Ups (Tidal Flow of Strength)
Engaging the Upper Core
- Start in Dolphin Pose (forearms down, hips lifted).
- Shift forward like a push-up.
- Flow forward and back 8-10 reps.
Connecting Breath with Movement
This flow targets your shoulders and deep core muscles. Feel the tide of your breath move you. You’re not just building strength, you’re learning soulful surrender.
Add this to your Soul Workout practice for a new level of intention.
4. Eagle Crunch (Harnessing Inner Vision)
How to Master the Pose
- Lay on your back and wrap arms and legs like Eagle Pose.
- Crunch elbows to knees.
- Release and repeat.
Chakra Connection
The eagle symbolizes clear sight. This pose targets the Third Eye Chakra, deepening your intuitive strength while firing your upper and lower abs.
This one’s perfect for those exploring Soul Vibration practices through physical movement.
5. Revolved Side Angle Flow (Spinal and Soul Alignment)
Core Engagement Tips
- Begin in a lunge.
- Press palms together, twist torso toward front knee.
- Hold or flow in and out.
Mindful Twisting Technique
This deep twist detoxifies your organs and clears energetic stagnation in the Sacral and Solar Plexus chakras. Twist with intention. What are you releasing?
To complement this pose, sip a warm Yoga Tea post-practice for deeper healing.
6. Starfish to Tuck Flow (Expand and Contract Your Energy)
Building Explosive Core Power
- Lie on your back, arms and legs wide (starfish).
- Exhale, curl into a tight tuck.
- Inhale, expand again.
Embracing Stillness in Movement
It’s like your soul breathes with your body. Expansion invites confidence, while contraction activates strength and self-awareness.
Follow this up with some Mindfulness Meditation to truly integrate the energy.
7. Three-Legged Dog Crunch (Root to Rise Energy)
Grounding the Spirit, Strengthening the Core
- Start in Down Dog.
- Lift one leg high.
- Crunch knee to nose slowly, then extend.
Soul-Centered Movement Tips
Every time you crunch in, think “power.” Every time you extend, think “peace.” This flow balances effort and ease—just like life.
Use this to ground into your Yoga Lifestyle & Soul Nutrition routine.
8. Seated Soul Circles (Core Spirals and Emotional Detox)
Technique for Beginners
- Sit tall with knees bent.
- Lean back slightly and make slow, controlled circular movements with your torso.
Releasing Stored Energy
Think of this as stirring the pot of your soul. Each circle loosens emotional knots stuck in the core.
This pairs beautifully with any Spiritual Yoga Flow practice for deeper energetic release.
Soulful Recovery: Ending with Breath and Intention
Guided Breathwork
Lay back. Place one hand on your belly, the other on your heart.
- Inhale deeply through the nose.
