People say….

I have always enjoyed yoga and running for years and years until I suffered a compression of my L2 and L3 in my lower spine due to age, sitting for long periods of time at my desk job, and possibly running. I had physical therapy for a year which helped immensely. I was told the compression would always be there and that I would need to continue strengthening my inner core to support my spine so I could ease the compression. I decided to try Darien's Pilates class because I heard so much about how great it was for strengthening the core. After just one class I was immediately convinced I needed to continue. I walked out of my first class standing straighter and feeling like I had a corset wrapped around my spine relieving the pain around my compression. Darien's personal instruction during class is so unique in a group class and beneficial. She takes the time to walk around the class constantly observing each student and letting us know what to do to make sure we are getting the most out of each exercise. Since I have been regularly attending Darien's classes and returning to yoga I noticed how the strength around my core I was building from Pilates helped my yoga practice. I have also noticed how this inner core strength helps me in all other areas of my life, like sitting at my desk all day, swimming, and just walking. My body is learning to let me know when I'm slouching or not tightening my core. This will be a life long journey and since my compression will never go away, I will never stop doing Pilates.
