Tension or pain in the lower back is one of the most common conditions affecting adults today. It is estimated that up to 80% of people will deal with back pain at some point in their lives, including pain that goes into the glutes, hips, or legs (sciatica). In this workshop, you will gain a better understanding of what causes tight hips and low back pain and learn a sequence of movement exercises to strengthen the abdominals and other muscles that support your hips and spine.

Muscle-strengthening movements from both Pilates and yoga will be included. In addition, we will address how to balance strengthening muscles and releasing tension with a guided meditation to relax your psoas muscles, which attach your spine to your legs. Please have a yoga block and strap and Franklin balls on hand. And please consult your physician before beginning any new exercise regimen.
