Reformer – Neck Therapy with Zaida I is a gentle, targeted class designed to relieve tension, improve posture, and restore balance in the neck, shoulders, and upper spine. Using the Pilates reformer as a supportive tool, this practice combines therapeutic movement with mindful breathwork to release tightness and strengthen stabilizing muscles. The goal is to create freedom of movement, reduce discomfort, and promote long-term spinal health.

Zaida I brings a calm and attentive approach, guiding students through carefully designed exercises that focus on alignment and mobility. Gentle resistance from the reformer springs is used to encourage proper activation of the deep neck flexors, upper back, and shoulder stabilizers. These movements help counteract the strain caused by poor posture, stress, or long hours of sitting and screen time.

The class includes a balance of strengthening and lengthening sequences—building support for the cervical spine while releasing chronic tightness in the shoulders and upper back. Props such as headrests, cushions, and straps may be incorporated for comfort and accessibility, ensuring the practice is safe and effective for all levels.

Breath awareness plays an important role, encouraging relaxation and mindfulness throughout the session. The slower, restorative pace creates space for healing and self-awareness, while still providing the benefits of improved circulation, posture, and functional strength.

Reformer – Neck Therapy with Zaida I is more than just physical exercise—it is a therapeutic experience. Students leave feeling lighter, more open, and rebalanced, with tools they can carry into daily life to support neck and spine health.
