In this workshop, you will gain a better understanding of what causes tight hips and low back pain. The focus is learning a sequence of movement exercises to strengthen muscles to support your hips and spine. 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). Your abdominals help support and stabilize your spine so if they're weakened or not as strong then it can lead to an increased risk for low back pain, which is why movements from both Pilates and yoga will be included in the activity offered. In addition, we address how to balance strengthening muscles and releasing tension with a guided meditation to relax your psoas muscles.
