    Hi gabrielle,
    I took the 2 days off and now my back feels great. I also do the steetches and poses you gave me to do and they have helped to much. I’m now back to doing most of the sit-up and hopefully will add rabbit back in soon. Additionally, I told my friend about the exercises after he had a fall and they really saved him. You are amazing. Thanks so much for all your great insight and information.

    Namaste.

    Thanks! I will be incorporating this into my routine as soon as I find one of those balls.
    Just received my Master Class and it is beyond beautiful!

    I think my core strength and tummy muscles are almost non-existent. I had Breast Cancer 2 years ago (surgery, chemo and radiation) and then had to have a very messy hysterectomy. In fact, my abdomen has been opened up 3 times in my life. I know, probably TMI, but I think it is pertinent. While I’m very healthy now (Yeah!), the last two years have taken a toll on my strength. I believe that is what led to the back problems. No main event, just years of bad posture and sloppy core strength. I decided to really commit to Bikram because I think it is a great holistic way to get myself healthy. My overall concept is that I spent the last two years having doctors do things to my body and now it is my turn to do things FOR my body.

    Long winded way of saying that I need to really learn how to work on my core.

    Best,
    Sharon

    Thanks Gabrielle,
    I am taking your advice and taking off tonight and tomorrow night. And then I will try to keep it to 5 days a week.

    I must tell you that I used the shoulder rotation last night at practice and it was terrific. Made so much more sense to me. I have to say that my back is much looser today and some of it is just not to sit too long.

    Now to get my disc.

    Your site is the most wonderful site for me. My neice is a Bikram instructor but she is fairly new and it is great to have all your experience at my fingertips.

    I also have your iPad app and use it when I travel.

    Best,
    Sharon

    When you talk about engaging your core, do you mean tightening your stomach muscles? Just want to be sure I’m not missing something.
