How To Find Neutral Spine

Aug 12, 2022

Fitness Tip of the Week: How To Find Neutral Spine

Neutral spine refers to the shape of the spine where its natural curve is present without being exaggerated in either direction. In Pilates, it’s usually the safest posture to practice exercises.

In this short video you’ll learn how to find your neutral spine in three different positions:

  • lying supine (face up)
  • kneeling (all fours)
  • standing

Supine Tilt your pelvis first forward, arching your lower back, and then backward, flattening the lumbar curve. Your neutral spine is roughly in the middle.

Kneeling Bend your spine backwards, arching your lower back, and then round inwards, looking toward your navel. Your neutral spine is roughly in the middle. It should feel as though your spine is straight (although its subtle natural curves are present).

Standing Draw your abdominal muscles around the lumbar curve to hold your spine still and stable while you exercise. Again, it should feel as though your spine is straight (although its subtle natural curves are present).
