WHO THIS PROGRAM IS FOR:

  • You have lingering, nagging back pain that is "not that bad" - yet it keeps interfering with things you love to do.
  • You avoid certain movements or positions because you know - or you're worried - they'll "tweak" your back.
  • You've already been through regular physical therapy - but you still don't feel 100% - you're still not back to all your favorite exercises or activities
  • You can't find your abs no matter how many crunches or planks you do.
  • You want to feel strong and confident in your body again - without having to think so much about avoiding back pain!

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Pilates has long been known as the staple for "core-strengthening".

In this 8-week program, you'll learn specialized, foundational, core-focused exercises that are designed to not only strengthen your core from the inside-out properly - but that are also designed to help you get rid of and prevent future back pain. 

**This program will be taught LIVE via ZOOM**
