Recently I sent out an email asking for your questions, and they came in thick and fast.
Some of the questions have been massaged a little to make it easier for the ‘non’ regular Pilates peeps to understand, as I want everyone to be able to find these video’s helpful.
Our helpful emails will be sent out once a week, but if this is a little too much for you, you can elect to be put onto our monthly list here.
Today’s video is Why Can’t I Lean Into My Hip as asked by a client that currently has SIJ (Sacroiliac Joint) and back pain.
All comments and questions are welcome, so please hit reply to this email and I’ll answer in a video.
