VIRTUAL LESSONS
Don't live in Nashville, TN? You can still work with the expert staff at Spiral Spine. We work virtually with clients all over the world helping them understand their scoliosis, reduce pain, build strength, and improve their quality of life. Some take a single lesson to understand their scoliosis and learn helpful at-home exercises. Others see us monthly to review how their body is doing and go over their at-home program which we tweak as needed. Still others see us weekly for their regular workout and we adjust our teaching to the props or Pilates equipment they have access to.
We can help you with your scoliosis no matter where you are in the world.

Many of our teachers offer virtual instruction. We recommend reading their bios before booking as each has a different feel and approach to her teaching.

"I happened to be in Nashville in January 2020, and booked a private with Erin. From that lesson forward, my journey with scoliosis has literally been changed forever.
I reside in Florida, so I couldn’t meet with Erin in-person to continue our private lessons. When Erin suggested we continue working together virtually, I was skeptical, but let me ease any fears or uncertainties you might have. Erin’s virtual lessons are as if you are with her in person. I often think Erin has x-ray vision, as she can see the tiniest spots that are off in my body, and this is all via a virtual platform. On more than one occasion, I’ve been completely awestruck after our weekly lesson, as pain I’ve been struggling with simply melted away. I literally thank God for Erin, as she has truly changed my life.
Seriously, there is no challenge too small or too immense for Erin. Virtual lessons work and you can thrive too! The words ‘thank you’ will never be enough to express my gratitude to Erin and her studio."

HOW TO BOOK & PREPARE FOR YOUR VIRTUAL LESSON
BOOK THE LESSON
- Visit the booking site: book with Erin or book with all other teachers.
- Find a time and date that works for you and book & pay for your lesson. Please note you are booking in the US central time zone.
EMAIL YOUR HISTORY
- Email a brief summary of your history. If you have scoliosis, send any pictures or x-rays of your back. A photo of an x-ray is fine.
- Include your name and the date of your lesson in the subject line.
PREPARE FOR YOUR LESSON
- Find a quiet space where you can comfortably lay down that has at least 3-ft of space on either side of you.
- Brainstorm questions and goals for the lesson. Have that list and a paper and pen with you during the lesson so you can take notes.
- Set up your internet-connected video device. Test the connection before the lesson. Also test the view by turning on the camera. Please make sure you place the device somewhere that allows us to see your body length-wise.
- Gather any equipment or props you have. This can be traditional Pilates equipment or anything you can safely work with. Examples include: mats, balls, towels, therabands, yoga blocks, & hand weights.
- Click on the Zoom link at least 5 minutes prior to your lesson. This allows time for the program to open and you to get situated, thereby making the most of your lesson. The teacher will join at the appointed time.
We can't wait to work with you!

"What a wonderful experience virtual Pilates has turned out to be! My teacher took care of all the technological issues; all I needed was my iPad and a carpeted space. She began each session by asking me what was going on with my neck, and then we worked for an hour on gentle exercises that left me feeling unlocked and relaxed. If I was unable to understand what she was asking me to do, she demonstrated the exercise which I was able to watch on my iPad. She also developed a series of easy daily exercises for me to do on my own; she provided photos and written instructions; then she watched me perform these exercises during one of our sessions to ensure I was doing them properly. Working remotely has been every bit as productive as being in the studio!"

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING:
"I contacted Erin after listening to a Pilates podcast she was interviewed on, and I was in awe of all the research and dedication she has given to her work on scoliosis. She is without a doubt the Queen of Pilates for scoliosis, and has completely changed the course of my daughters Pilates journey. I work with my daughter closely each day as she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), which is very complex and Erin is there to take us a step further each time we are ready. My daughter instantly had confidence in her teaching and trusted Erin, which can be difficult as EDS is not well understood. Erin is very approachable and loved by my daughter for her boundless energy and positivity. She works safely and methodically and we are very grateful to have Erin on board our path to moving freely and pain free. I have complete confidence and feel incredibly inspired by her work. As a Pilates teacher myself, it’s a double bonus watching and learning from her teaching!"

I highly recommend virtual Pilates with Spiral Spine! I was hesitant to take virtual classes, but my instructor quickly changed that. She worked with me every step of the way, addressing all my needs. I do not feel like I lost any part of my work-out during the transition from studio to virtual lessons. Never thought it would be possible to break a sweat in my little apartment living room, but it is! Do not hesitate, book a virtual Pilates lesson.
Previously I would have said, “I don’t do virtual lessons!” based on several not-so-good experiences. Then I took a few lessons from Jennifer. She was very attentive to my posture needs - especially my knee/hip, where I have damage. Jennifer is fun, chatty, and very clever in addressing my body's needs. I would say “I can’t or won’t bridge,” because the exercise previously caused me nerve pain and then find myself bridging with Jennifer without pain!!! Who knew?!?! Living in Minnesota, trying virtual work with this talented Pilates teacher was my only choice. It was and is great! I have had several sessions with her, and she still corrects my form, is brilliant about getting me to do things that are challenging, and motivates me to be a stronger person. I would highly recommend doing virtual lessons and working with Jennifer.
My daughter and I had our first virtual Pilates lesson with Jennifer. Using Zoom to connect with her was easy to do. We covered a lot of ground (haha!) during our time, as we did Mat exercises with some props we had at home. It was a fun change of pace, and we still got the same level of instruction as we regularly receive in the studio. We both felt better after the lesson and plan to take another lesson virtually soon!
