Soul Core Information

SoulCore is a movement born from the desire to nourish body AND soul through prayer and core strengthening, functional exercises. The need to involve the senses in interior prayer corresponds to a requirement of our human nature. We are body and spirit, and we experience the need to translate our feelings externally. We must pray with our whole being to give all power possible to our supplication. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2702) Uniting BODY, mind & soul in prayer makes our prayer more powerful! God seeks worshippers in Spirit and in Truth, and consequently living prayer that rises from the depths of the soul. He also wants the external expression that associates the body with interior prayer, for it renders him that perfect homage which is His due. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2703) By uniting BODY with internal prayer we offer God more PERFECT worship/praise! What Does The Workout Entail? The SoulCore Rosary workout integrates core-strengthening, stretching and functional movements with the prayers of the rosary. We begin with some basic stretches to warm up the body and recite the Apostles Creed. Push-ups are done throughout each of the Our Fathers. The movements vary for each of the Hail Marys. And a stretching position of surrender brings us to each Glory Be. Each Mystery begins with a scripture verse and a reflection, offering a time of rest and encouraging deeper reflection on the virtues of each Mystery. Each movement is simply an invitation to engage the body in prayer. We encourage you to always honor your body by moving at your own pace and within your own abilities on any given day. Please note: We strongly recommend that you consult with your physician before beginning any exercise program. By participating in the SoulCore movement you agree to do so at your own risk and assume all risk of injury to yourself.
