Oh, how we love to hate doing "core" work! It's such a crucial part of our health, but such an effort to strengthen. Remember to use your abdominal bandha (energy lock) to protect your back. Check this out in the photo below: see his belly pulled in and under his ribs? Also, try to keep your upper body open - no collapsing in or leading with the neck into poses. And, most importantly, BREATHE! I wanted to include this illustration of downward facing dog to emphasize how everything is active, even in seemingly static poses. There is always lots to do! 
Quote for the practice: "Trust. Your difficulties will make sense someday - steel, to be tempered, must enter the fire; grain, to be bread, must enter the mill." -Aadil Palkhivala
