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
I agree with you. I'm also a registered physio and have found myself with back pain I couldn't shift. Feel really well balanced and stretched after this workout. What would you suggest as the next level workout after this on
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 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
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 👍👏
I have been having lower back pain and what feels like spasms for three weeks, waking up in lots of pain. I did this last night and it’s the first time I’ve woken up without pain! Thank you so much!
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.
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 ❤
I've followed heaps of UA-cam 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 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.
Thank you so much, Katja, I do exercises with you everyday since the two past weeks and you are now my very good friend :) I love your calm, and benevolence (bienveillance in french). And your exercises are perfect ! Take care
I recently had to see a physiotherapist because of some lower back pain I've been experiencing. This video incorporates all the exercises I was recommended to do. How are we getting such high quality content for free??? Thank you,Katja! An absolute angel!!!!
I agree Katja is offering high quality sessions and I would also like to contribute financially. I heard there is an app like “pay me a cup of coffee” orso
This was just what I needed today, changing the sheets on my bed I bent over funny and felt some discomfort so as soon as I was finished I did this video and what an instant relief! Thank you thank you!
Hi Katja, I just wanted to say I love your channel. I have been alternating between yoga and Pilates everyday and your videos are perfect. I used to do yoga as a teenager years ago when I lived in Germany but I haven't done it properly for ages. I hope you upload more videos but more importantly I hope you and your family stay healthy
Just found your classes Katja - have been doing Pilates for decades but your instructions and calm clear voice and good camera angles make it very clear and soothing and just right for lower back pain this one - thanks ! looking forward to more classes.
So enjoying your sessions each morning. You are so lovely and relaxed and the view from your windows soothing. Excellent a s had really helped with my back pain Val
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 session has become my 'go to' routine when my back is feeling a little tight and sore - it helps stretch and strengthen the lower back and has helped me no end over the past few months - I now feel my back is becoming much stronger and my back issues are more manageable. Thank you Katja
thank you very much katja. these are particular days for me in Milan and your stillness it's something more than Pilates. you're helping me a lot. with love
Dear Chiara, so grateful to hear the class is helping you. Sending you lots of love, positive vibes and strength, we are all in this together! Let’s use this amazing tool of Pilates to help us get through these challenging times. 🙏
Katja, just wanted to say I love your classes. I love your calm and how clearly you explain every step. Unable to go to my regular classes due to quarentine, yours have helped me feel so much better. Thank you!
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
My absolute favourite pilates workout. 😊Thank you for making this content available. You are so intuitive with your instructions to guide form and help ease pain. 🧘🏻♀️👏
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.
Every morning both my son and I begin our day to your videos! Your videos have helped us to feel stronger, both physically and mentally. Thank you so very much!!! ❤️
Merci beaucoup Katja , j’ai une discopathie et de l’ostéoporose et je n’ ai pas pu faire de l’exercice depuis quelques mois , je reprends doucement et cette vidéo tombe à point je viens de l’essayer je n’ai pas eu mal au ,contraire elle m’a fait un bien fou. Merci encore pour votre générosité.
Such a wonderful session. I really enjoyed every aspect: the movements of course but also the setting, pace and tone. It's rare to find a workout that is geared specifically to lower back health. So very helpful!
Thank you so much for this pilates lesson. I do your lessons about a month. I have to say that , it looks you really love this, because you explain every move and excersice so good. Your pilates lessons help me to have healthy body due to qaurantine.
Hi Katja, thank you so much for this practice! I've been doing it every (other) day the past 2 weeks and it always helps my back pain immediately. I especially love how specific your cues are, as to how to position the sacrum, pelvis etc. Thanks again!
This helped alleviate my lower back pain (sciatica) in one go. I agree with other commenters - your pacing is wonderful and your instructions are clear (and your delivery is very calming!). Thank you!
For more than a month now every day in the morning I have been exercising with your videos, I really enjoy your calm way of explaining the movements; they are the best videos I have found on you tube.
That was a very effective 30 minute routine - my back was very sore the other day which is why I decided on this routine and the following day it felt so much better. Just back for my second go! Thank you Katja!
Until I tried your Pilates classes I have never really understood what Pilates is about. I tried it every now and then but almost always I would find myself in a yoga class instead, thinking it's a superior form of workout. However, I finally understood the difference. In yoga you move with the breath, which seems so natural and really helps to connect mind and body. In Pilates the movement seems to happen on an exhale and almost always from abdominals which makes me really aware of the alignment of my body. I have tilted pelvis which at times can cause a lot of pain in the lower back, however these classes finally helped me feel and understand what's happening in my lower back and abdominals and how to control/balance it throughout the day. Still a long way to go for me. Thank you for such wonderful classes.
Hello Katja. Thank you for your calm and precise lessons. I have been doing your sessions every day for around 8 weeks and my body feels and looks very different.
Through lockdown I tried various different workouts and keep coming back to your workouts and have shared many with friends and family, especially those for the back. You have a very clear way of explaining things. I have done so many of your workouts now that when I don’t have access to the internet I can do many of the exercises by memory, so thank you Katja .

Thank you for your lovely message and for recommending my classes, Michele! I am very grateful you are here with me and enjoying the benefits of a regular movement practice! 😊🙏🥰

That was so lovely! I am a qualified physio I have to say that this is the best video I have encountered on UA-cam so far.
Stefanie Wong thank you so much, that means a lot to me! 🙏

I always come back to this class whenever my back starts hurting… it is SO helpful! As are all of your classes. Many thanks!
🙏😊 🙏
I am 6’ tall with lower back issues. This is my “go to” video when I’ve overdone and caused lower back strain. Thank you, Katya. Always helps!😊
Definitely the best session I have done for my back
So brilliant to hear you found it helpful. Hope your back is feeling the benefit. 🙏🏼😊🙏🏼
