Pilates Nausea?

Why am I experiencing nausea during my pilates roll down?

While we know to expect some additional soreness in previously undiscovered places, becoming nauseous can be a real turn-off to attacking that little muffin top at the top of your yoga pants.

Sometimes nausea can be an indication of some underlying medical condition requiring a consultation with your physician, but more often the Vagus nerve, or Cranial Nerve X, is the one to blame! The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve, and has many branches to many parts of the body.

It is responsible for relaying a vast amount of sensory information from the thoracic and abdominal organs. There are many direct and indirect connections from the vagus nerve to and from the brain.

The diaphragm is supplied with nerves from a branch of the vagus nerve called the celiac plexus, AKA solar plexus. The vagus nerve makes us feel nauseous because it is categorized as a parasympathetic nerve, and that is its role. When activating the diaphragm in a sudden contraction, a person may feel nauseous (activation of the vagus nerve). After the stimulus subsides, the nerve recovers and the nauseous effect goes away.

So, next time you start your pilates roll down and get a little queasy, take a deep breath, have a sip of water and look down again at that muffin top to firm up your resolve.

I loved this leotard. It’s so pretty with the added sparkle touch. We had to Rtn it because the fit was not right for my daughter. She’s very short torso and this was a little long for her. The bra area did not have enough support.

Minimal, chic, and fits a long torso

This is my first purchase from SteelCore and hope not my last. This design has a delightfully subtle but powerful look. The fabric is soft and stretchy and I was pleasantly surprised by the bust support and that it fit my long torso. I most comfortably fit an XL or feel between L-XL in many leotard brands like Élevé, WearMoi, Ainsliewear, Gaynor Minden. I got an L in this leo and the fit is on par.

Perfect transition dress--from workout to errands

This is the perfect dress to slip on after working out to go run errands! The fabric is so soft and light. It works over leggings! And I love the reversible neckline--so versatile.

So pretty but small and pink is sheer

I ordered the XS in Pink which was too small and very sheer. The S was also too small (and sheer in the bodice). I plan on ordering the black in M.

Exactly what I needed!

After a short hiatus, I’ve been getting back into gear and these socks have helped a lot. Marisa conveniently keeps these in the boutique and after purchasing a pair when I forgot my socks, I say they’ve become my go to pair for classes now. The grip added to your average sock makes quite difference I’ve found out. Big plus is that it’s of great quality.
