An important part of any Pilates practice is the pelvic work; strengthening the lower pelvic abdominals, the lower back, and the glutes and pelvis. In a Gentle Chair Pilates class, where we practice in a chair because of limitations, it is even more important. The pelvic work we do in Chair Pilates can give us better back health, better posture, and can ease back, hip and even knee pain.
