Are you having pain during abdominal work in your Pilates mat classes? Do you feel a crunching sensation in your lumbar curve, especially during lower belly work? Well you are in luck because I have a quick easy solution for you!
While laying supine on the mat simply make a triangle shape with your hands by touching thumb to thumb and forefinger to forefinger. Now slip your triangle underneath your tailbone, high enough that it's supporting the lower part of the spine, but low enough that your finger tips stick out like little tail feathers. Et Voila! This will force your spine into alignment as you do your abdominal work. Always remember to keep pulling the belly button into the spine, and keep your pelvic floor engaged. These adjustments will definitely help keep the pressure off your lower back so you can strengthen your core with abandon!
