Client Testimonial – Decreased Low Back Pain From Pilates And Yoga

Man I love to hear success stories! This week one of my clients told me how her regular Pilates and yoga practice has helped reduce her low back pain. She has suffered from chronic back pain that was always hovering around a 3-4 out of 10. For the past two years she has been doing Pilates and Yoga with me twice a week plus walking and stretching on her own. Her back pain in now almost nonexistent.

Bridge – One of Fluid’s August Five

How lucky are we to have such lovely summer weather? I have been taking my Pilates and yoga classes outdoors this month.

Here Kate demonstrates Bridge – one of our August Five.

Start with knees and feet hip distance apart. Relax your back.

Press into your feet to lift your spine one vertebra at a time. Think of stretching the whole front side of your body.

In the Pilates variation you continue rolling up and down, breathing and relaxing your back. The yoga version you hold for five breaths then slowly come down. Take your pick and see if you can do this move once a day for one minute.
