We have all experienced lower back pain stiffness and pain, at least one time in life. Doing Pilates regularly will help you feel stronger and remove imbalances that can cause lower back pain.

As we begin our Pilates journey we start to pay more attention because we want to teach our bodies to recruit the correct muscles right away. But as Pilates becomes part of our routine, we tend to focus more on the workout. Why not? Isn’t that the goal? To feel stronger enough to move freely and dynamically? Yes, you’re right. That is the final goal. But here is the thing, Pilates’ primary goal is to target small muscles hidden behind the larger muscle group. And that takes time to master. But if you stay focused on getting them awake, everything you do will take a different shape. “When you know better, you do better”, says Maya Angelou.

In today’s class, I will teach you how to continue to elongate your lumbar spine as you move your practice further.

You can use this one simple cue with any exercise that you do. In fact, I encourage you to start today. In your next workout, apply this cue and do this for at least a month (this is how long your brain takes to understand something). It is an excellent class for you if you’re learning how to roll up without a strap. Plus, roll-up is everywhere in Pilates repertoire. Pay attention next time, you will see it everywhere. We may call it a different name, but in essence, it’s the roll-up.

It’s also a great class to do in the morning. You know how we have lower back stiffness in the morning. You can pick one of the few mini routines and get started.
