Keep those disks
We had an incredible workshop with Lisa Love last week. The training of the back is essential for maintaining a healthy back with disks problems. Teaching your clients about neutral spine is essential. Flexion is contraindicated. It is easy to modify many of the Pilates exercises. Keeping the head down for single leg stretch is an example. In many ways, I have more awareness of my lower abs when I keep the head down.
It is always wonderful to observe great teaching. Lisa Love has such an amazing knowledge about the body. How she cues through words and touch is so inspiring. I look forward to having her back to teach teachers again.
