A Core That Actually Protects You

Build a core that has your back.

Groceries, kids, laptops — move without the fear your back will “go out.” Low-impact Pilates designed for sensitive backs.

Beginner-friendly Back-safe cueing 1-on-1 or 1-on-2

Not a diagnosis or treatment. If you have acute pain, consult a clinician before exercise. Prefer to talk? (888) 843-2716

How it works

1

Build deep core support

We start with breath + deep abdominals (TVA, pelvic floor) so your core stabilizes first.

2

Move your spine safely

Neutral spine + precise cueing on the reformer to reduce “ouch” moments and fear.

3

Everyday life feels easier

Pick up kids, lift groceries, and work at your desk with more support and confidence.

What you’ll notice

Confidence, not flinching

Train a reflexive core so your body supports you when it counts—stairs, car, work.

Less “tight everywhere”

Controlled mobility work calms gripping patterns in hips, low back, and rib cage.

Stronger without strain

Low-impact progressions that respect your pain history while building real strength.

Coaching that meets you

We scale movements (props, springs, range) so you can work—not worry.

Your first session

  • Quick intake: what flares you up, what movements feel okay.
  • Breath + deep core priming (TVA, pelvic floor, ribs).
  • Reformer sequences for safe spine loading + hip control.
  • Take-home moves for busy days (3–5 minutes).

FAQ

Is this safe if my back is sensitive?

Yes—sessions are low-impact and scaled to you. If you’re in acute pain or post-injury, please clear activity with your clinician first.

I’m a beginner. Will I keep up?

Absolutely. We start with breath + deep core, then progress range and load as your confidence grows.

What should I bring?

Comfortable clothes, grippy socks, and any questions—your instructor will take it from there.
