sensitive. Few educational materials are available to help practitioners
with these challenges [3]. In this clinical image, it is expected that
practitioners will address the key changes that the Core Stabilization
Guide Pyramid embodies, (Figure 1) and develop their own unique
ideas and suggestions for using the Pyramid in a practice setting.

Pyramids are visual conceptual models that are used by
practitioners to illustrate where research is headed while serving
as a metaphoric tool to present ideas to be practiced [1]. The Core
Stabilization Guide Pyramid represents an approach using a pyramid
model for medical therapeutic yoga educators and practitioners to
organize pranayama (breath) treatment modalities and lesson plans.
Yoga educators have to alter the focus, content, and teaching goals
for lessons and modalities. Use of this Pyramid does require changes
in the way the concept of achieving core stability can be relevant for
audiences or for the variety of patients exhibiting diverse pathology
[2]. In contrast to any other wellness guide, that represented a
foundation or established process, the Core Stabilization Guide
Pyramid depicts a patient’s total wellness picture. It is designed to
address overstimulation as well as under stimulation using yoga
techniques such as pranayama. The Core Stabilization Guide Pyramid
is a graphic representation of the suggested Guidelines for those
seeking to use Yoga as therapeutic medicine, and illustrates the main
concept of the mind as having power over the body. For practitioners,
one challenge is to find ways to effectively use the Core Stabilization
Pyramid which involves teaching clients how to put the guidelines
that are the specific words contained in the pyramid into action, each
day, during each modality. Patients can meditate on one word while
focusing on breath. Another challenge involves designing materials
that adapt the messages of the Core Stabilization Guide Pyramid to a
variety of audiences. One suggestion might be to construct a pyramid
that can be hand held in order to visualize the protective effects
from it. Alternatively, a large sized pyramid could be constructed
and the patient can sit under it. Teaching materials and instructions
should emphasize the key concepts of the Core Stabilization Guide
Pyramid and should be clear, consistent, motivational, and culturally
