Intro: Jenna from LA!
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! 💪🚀
