I have watched many videos to help with my spine issues. This lady is superb, she takes you through each exercise methodically, guiding you on how to properly hold your posture during the exercises. Other you tube instructors do not do this at all. Excellent video Katja, I will be following your exercises. Thank you

Having watched countless videos on back care/pain over the years, Katja's ones are the best. Her pace, her voice and her positivity is just the right balance for an instructor. Thank you Katja.

Totally agree I tried 2 others then I found the Pearl in the oyster … I like her as she speaks clearly, explains clearly and has a good vibe about her she is a god send and I’m noticing improvements in my back neck everything thanks Katja I love you

Katja thank you so much. I’m sure you don’t realise what a huge difference you are making to peoples lives. I’ve been doing your upper and lower back pain sessions daily, for about 3 weeks and they are making a massive difference. I may even be strong enough to start your back strengthening exercises. Thank you 😀😀😀

I always come back to this class whenever my back starts hurting… it is SO helpful! As are all of your classes. Many thanks!

Love doing this one after a run, along with the neck care session. So, so good. Thank-you Katja. As always. ❤

Thank you Katja for changing my life. I feel the best I have been for 40 years after a year of your classes. Keith.

Thanks Katja, you've saved back and calmed me down :*

Thank you, Katya, for this class. I have been doing it three times a week since I found you during lockdown and it has helped my lower back problems immensely. I follow many other of your classes, too, trying to do one or two every day. Usually I have it on my TV screen but am having to use my laptop at the moment , so discovered this message board for the first time! Once again, many thanks. Pauline Jackson.

This routine is so good for my lower back which keeps reminding me I should stretch and/or do pilates/yoga on a regular basis. And when I don't, it hurts. So thank you again & again ❤

This class has helped my lower back problem, thank you for suggesting. I have totally turned a corner, but am mindful to take care. Thank you again Katja. kind regards B

I like this to help stretch out the back. Thank you 😊

Thank you Katja. I am a professional dancer and your videos bring ease and comfort in my lower back that is overworked at the moment. Beautifully structured and delivered class.

I am doing this 3 x a day after being immobile in bed for a week with the most painful lower back injuries I've experienced. These exercises are perfect for bringing the right mix of stability and supple back into my body. I really appreciate how calm, quiet and precise your instructions are too. Will definitely be doing other sessions of yours after this, when I'm ready. Thank you so much.

I'm doing this routine every morning now, to get rid of the back aches that build up during the night. My lower back feels more mobile and stable, and the aches are much lower after these exercises. As a bonus, I also feel more connected and calm. It's therapeutic.

Hi Katja I have been using your classes for the last 18months and love them. I suffer from sciatica and use this class to help but wondered if you could do a specific ‘excercises to relieve sciatica class’ thanks keep up the excellent classes.

I've followed heaps of KZread pilates classes but yours are impeccable. They're difficult when I want them to be, but also can be easy while I'm nursing a leg injury (shin splints). Thanks Katja!

I've been using this video for 3 months now, following a herniated disc between L4/L5 , and would recommend it. I had an MRI scan eventually and NHS physio advice (also eventually as getting that was very slow!) and can say these exercises fit-in perfectly with the NHS advice. Thankfully I don't need surgery but it's a long recovery for my injury and the presenting style is great, calm and reassuring, thank you 👍👏

So helpful. Thank you Katja.

I've commented positively on this one before, I think, but it got pushed out of my routine in favor of some other my Katja faves (I've got a pretty good collection at this point), but I recently bought myself a kayak and have developed some low back ache from hoisting it up on my car. Seriously, this routine has my back feeling almost normal immediately after. It probably would behoove me to keep doing it pretty regularly as a preventive and not just when I get myself I to trouble. Thanks, Katja! You are a treasure.
