I am so glad you posted this Karen!! I have mild IBS and have bouts of bloating and discomfort. This was such an interesting read to me as a fellow Pilates instructor. I loved the cueing and had a few AHA moments as well that I will definitely incorporate into my own practice.. thank you so much for the insight! Jamie Kirk
YES YES YES! Thank you so much for this Karen. I once had a personal pilates instructor who insisted that my IBS didn't effect my pilates training, and it was just me and all in my head. I kept telling her that my body told me otherwise and continued to ask for modifications or other exercises! Luckily I listened to myself after a couple of weeks with no solution and chose to stop our work together.
Thanks for sharing your expertise with the (pilates) world :)
