Welcome to BYB — Bulletproof Your Back 💪✨ I’m so happy you’re here. This community is for you if you’re tired of being told: “Just strengthen your core.” “Just stretch your hip flexors.” “Your MRI looks bad, so this is just your life now.” Inside BYB, we do things differently. We don’t treat all back pain the same because not all back pain is created equal. Even if two people have the same diagnosis — sciatica, stenosis, herniated disc, spondy, scoliosis, degeneration — their movement patterns can be completely different. That’s why BYB focuses on 3 things: 1. Understand your movement pattern 2. Train according to your body type 3. Build spine-friendly habits for real life - Because back pain recovery is not just what you do on the mat. It’s how you sit, stand, walk, sleep, wash dishes, lift things, travel, and move through your actual life. This is not a place for fear-based advice. This is a place to rebuild trust with your body. Please introduce yourself below: ✨ Your name ✨ Where you’re joining from ✨ What kind of back pain or diagnosis you’re dealing with ✨ What you hope to feel confident doing again ✨ One win you would love to celebrate 8 weeks from now I’ll be reading your posts, cheering you on, and helping you learn how to move smarter — not harder. Welcome to BYB 🤍 Let’s bulletproof your back, I believe in your body's healing power.

Hello! Greetings from LA. I'm born and raised in both Korea and in the US and currently reside in Sunny LA. I'm 40 years old and besides pilates, I enjoy dancing of all kinds - jazz, hiphop, modern, ballet! I also am now really getting into my gym era ;D *[My Journey]* 🩻 I was a dancer my whole life. But at 28, I was diagnosed with: - Spondylolisthesis. - Sciatica. - Scoliosis.Stenosis. - Degenerative disc disease. Doctors wanted me to get spine surgery immediately. Instead, I wanted to solve it with exercise, and got stuck in the same cycle for years: PT exercises → dance → flare-up → acupuncture → massage → dance → flare-up again. I kept doing what I was “supposed” to do… but my back was not getting better. Then I found Spine-friendly Pilates. And everything started to change. I became so passionate about the method that I eventually became a Pilates instructor in 2019 while working full-time at Google as a Business Development Manager. Not because it was easy.💔 But because I knew this work could change lives. *[The Birth of BYB — Bulletproof Your Back]*💪 In 2021, I realized something important: It was not “just Pilates” that helped me. It was the full system. - The habits. - The movement IQ. - The spine-friendly daily hacks. - The nutrition. - The sleep. The way I moved through everyday life. All of these things helped me make my back feel stronger, calmer, and more manageable — even with major diagnoses and bone-on-bone X-rays. So I packaged everything I had learned into BYB: Bulletproof Your Back. I started teaching it online while still working in corporate. And then my clients started getting better. Less pain. More confidence - In just 8–16 weeks! I was mind-blown. *[I’m All In Now]* Now, I’m fully committed to this work. I help people stop feeling trapped by their diagnosis and start learning how to move, strengthen, and live again. Because your MRI, X-ray, or diagnosis does not have to define the quality of your life. I believe in your body's healing power. Yes, we can, together! 💪🚀
