No ab-strength, no lower back strength. How can I improve this physical weakness?

I have no “core” strength AT ALL whatsoever. I’ve tried yoga and pilates. The sad thing is the classes are a mixture of all levels, the even sadder thing is I don’t think I can even do BEGINNER yoga/pilate classes! I have no flexibility, I can’t do situps, I can’t reach my toes, I CAN do a minimal amount of crunches. Any advice on how I can increase my “core” strength? I am not overweight nor am I thin. Just average, slightly chubby with a small stomach. I’m 5’2 and I weight 120lbs. Any tips would be great, thanks!

Old TKD Certifications??? Wanting to teach family.?

I want to teach Tae Kwon Do to my daughter and possibly some other kids in my family.. I haven’t had any of my old certifications in well over a decade (maybe a decade and a half, don’t want to date myself… lol.) and shortly (within months) after I left the school I practiced and taught juniors in, our main instructors retired from teaching, the school closed. I don’t trust the remaining local schools with my own child’s instruction as the instruction that I recieved was incredible and not remotely focused on profits. It was incredible enough that I still retain everything but my flexibility. lol..
Like I said, I don’t have any of my old certifications and doubt they would still be available. I was active in TKD for over 8 years, as well as a year and a half of Isshin-Ryu during that time, and took Tai Chi instruction. I feel more than confident that I could still provide quality instruction to my daughter and others in our family, but it doesn’t appear that I have a way of certifying our achievements so that she could use it to go further if she chose to. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Yoga and Gymnastics?

Other than flipping about, don’t they both go hand and hand as far as strength and flexibility.
