What a stupid comment!

I've posted asking her to elaborate a bit more.
It puts me off when instructors feel the need to put other instructors and their methods down, too.

(issues being constipation, SI, and hip issues)

It came from a tweet if you read the original post it says @ liviwhole. That is her twitter name. I am on twitter and that is exactly what she posted it has been asked why she said that but there is no response as of yet

Sorry, but she also has 2 profiles on Facebook and this stand-alone post was posted on 1 of those profiles. There has been discussion on that particular post. The most recent response from her has been: "I will write a blog about it since there have been many questions. stay tuned. and it's not ALL barre workouts. it totally depends on the language and the cueing being used."

Also, since you referenced the original post, it does say the post was on Facebook. It says, "Below I'm quoting Jennifer Galardi today on Facebook." I don't follow Jennifer on Facebook, but from this post, I was able to find the comment in question on one of her profiles (the one which is also associated with livwhole).

I've asked her if she'd make a video to illustrate what she means. It could very well be the tuck she finds so harmful, and maybe she can show a different form for people who have found barre exacerbates these conditions.
There's lots of room for respectful disagreement in the fitness world!

yes we are reading the same post. If you look at the bottom where it says. Like Comment the next one is @livwhole on twitter. That means she sent if from her twitter account and posted it to her facebook page.

it's still going to be an interesting read when she blogs about this because a lot of people have said they like barre workouts.

sounds like she is planning on attacking someone's method for sure since she said, not all barre.

Personally, I don't care where she said it first. I am just saddened that she said it at all.

Yeah, I've been thinking on this and am pretty dumbfounded by the original statement. It seems pretty mean-spirited. If Jennifer G. was truly concerned about poor alignment and our bowel health ... I'm sure there was a way to do it without singling out Bar Method or any other brand. She could've simply pointed out her opinions on the tuck-in-general....

Whatever... I'm pretty sure I (and other BM fans) will continue on as was...

I am extremely interested in what she has to say; which I suppose was her intention with the remark.

Okay now I can't see this without giggling.

I know the tuck could exacerbate back issues but almost any exercise helped my digestion instead of hindering it.
