About this class

Are you ready for Back It Up Fusion? This combination of Yoga and Pilates will strengthen and stretch out your entire back. Not only will this help you stand with open and confident posture but by building strength, you’ll ease back pain that you may have. Too often we forget about the back… it’s time to remember!

Alignment notes

During the Pilates sequence focus on the control of movement. Higher doesn’t = better. Focus on keep the body stable and movement strong. The back bends during Yoga are tough and bring a lot of energy to the surface. Focus on pressing your heart through your shoulders and squeezing your booty. Again, it’s not about height but a focus on opening up the chest and creating space in the back bend rather than dumping into the lower spine.
