Spine Anatomy and Core Basics with Karen Clippinger

Join Karen Clippinger in this workshop that presents key spine anatomy with an emphasis on the names, locations, and actions of key spinal muscles. This anatomy will then be applied to provide recommendations and sample exercises to improve common spinal posture problems and to develop core stability with the use of both “scooping” and “bracing.” A schema to help you analyze Pilates spinal exercises will be provided, as well as principles to help you modify, progress and cue select Pilates spinal exercises so that you can achieve greater benefits while keeping injury risk low.
