The Second Centred Self Pilates retreat which took place in December last year focussed on ‘Backs’.

We explored the spine and its components, learning about how things ought to be and what can go wrong.

We then tried different strategies for dealing with back issues including strengthening exercises, stretches, releases and walking well.

Three things you can do to help your back are: 1) stretch the calf muscles, 2) reduce shoe heals to a minimum, and 3) swing your arms when you walk!
