We have all heard it. "You should be standing up at your desk while you work - it is so much better for you!" - but that can lead to a painful sore back. Here is a simple tip to relieve that pain.

🚗 Does your back hurt when you drive? Try this first.
Many people sit too far back in their seat, which increases strain on the back and forces your core to work harder just to stay stable.

Move your seat closer to the pedals (comfortably), add a slight seat-back tilt, and adjust lumbar support so it fills the natural curve of your spine. Keep the steering wheel within easy reach — the farther your arms reach, the more stress on your back.

Small seat adjustments can make a big difference on long drives. 💙

🧘‍♀️ Interested in Pilates but dealing with a back or hip injury? You can start safely.
This is where we begin — lying on your back in a comfortable, neutral position, learning how to move your hips without moving your pelvis or stressing your spine.

By keeping the pelvis stable and isolating hip movement, you build control, strength, and confidence — all while protecting injured areas. This kind of mindful movement is key to healing and long-term success.

Pilates should support your recovery, not set you back. 💙

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share one of my favorite topics — our incredible feet — in this upcoming workshop. 👣

For over four decades, I’ve integrated orthopedics with the Pilates Method, and I continue to be amazed at how strong, supple, and connected feet can transform the entire body. The way we move, walk, run, balance, and even prevent injuries in the ankles, knees, hips, back, and neck all begins at the foundation.

In this 3-hour, NPCP-approved workshop, we’ll explore the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot and leg, examine how modern footwear and lifestyle impact our movement, and look at common foot and ankle challenges. Then we’ll bring it into practice — using Pilates equipment, foot and toe correctors, Franklin Balls, and simple tools you can use at home — to experience pain-free, more powerful movement.
