No Bones About It! Pelvis, Legs & Feet
Limited Capacity seats available
Hip and knee replacements are on the rise. Doctors prescribe surgery earlier and earlier. Although it’s amazing what the medical field can do these days, prevention is still the best medicine. In this workshop you will experience how the hip joint, leg, knee, ankle and foot work separately and together to move us forward in life. Understand how the spirals and rotations are crucial in moving correctly and how you can explain this to your clients. Learn exercises that mobilize and strengthen every part of this unit and how to coordinate it as a whole. Experience what standing and moving on your two legs truly means and feels like for yourself and your clients.

Franklin Method®: Pelvic Power
Limited Capacity seats available
This Franklin Method® workshop focuses on the practical application of imagery techniques to increase the power, alignment and flexibility of the pelvic joints and muscles. To balance the action of the joints you will experience the natural bone rhythms in support of healthy function. This, in turn, will increase the safety of the lower back, knees and feet. Sacral balance is key to the alignment of the spine and legs. Explore how the sacrum actually moves and gain a key to understanding and creating efficient, safe movement. Discover imagery and language that explains the complex subject matter at all levels of experience. Evolutionary logic will provide a fresh and practical understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvis and you will leave the workshop with a sense of aligned strength through the pelvic floor, with your feet firmly balanced and spine long and buoyant.

Slightly Askew Pilates
Limited Capacity seats available
Apply Pilates movement principles to exercises and experience the transformative element of the method. The first step for a teacher with a new client is an assessment; and a standing assessment is an intelligent observation of functional posture which considers the status quo of the client. These are the tools that help the teacher determine the organization of core movement coordinated with the extremities. Vertical movement allows the client and the teacher to observe how various movement strategies are adopted from the observation assessment in standing. It would be unusual to have a client who has perfect movement patterns and it is much more typical to observe habits that could be optimized with movement education. Good Pilates seeks to facilitate each student's experience as a personal journey of mindful movement. Just remember, the average human is slightly askew.

COVID pulled us away from touch as we all shifted to virtual and then to maintaining our 6’ distance. It’s time to get back in touch and improve the ability to guide and investigate bodies with our hands. There is an art to applying hands-on teaching that requires a deep understanding of the human body, of the intention of each Pilates movement and of how to apply precise hands-on techniques to communicate in another language. Spend time in a master’s hands learning and practicing this essential skill at any level as a teacher.

Anatomy of a Transition
Limited Capacity seats available
Clients come to the studio to move and heal from many things, including grief, but sometimes teachers are afraid to work with grieving clients. By normalizing grief and its nonlinear process, the Pilates industry can aid in supporting grievers in a beautiful and wellness driven way, but first, we must start talking about grief and normalizing this very natural part of life. This panel provides an honest and poignant look at what grief looks like, what it can do to the body and nervous system and how Pilates teachers can provide greater support to a griever. Listen as personal stories are shared and processes are explained. Discover what bodies hold onto and how you can seek out guidance. The human body holds onto a great deal of grief and emotion can surface unexpectedly. Join Amy Havens, Pat Guyton, and Zoey Trap for this insightful session.

Building Functional Balance
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Functional balance is a benefit of the method. The definition of functional balance is the ability to adapt to situations whereby the body can maintain a steady position to avoid a fall. Balance improves when the student is offered safe exercises to improve proprioception. Pilates offers balance opportunities for the advanced student, but for clients who are less nimble, those exercises are avoided for safety. Discover how to provide an appropriate level of balance training within a session or class adds to your toolkit as we explore progression, rehabilitation and safe protocols for active aging. Your clients will enjoy the challenge.

Building Cognitive Challenge
Limited Capacity seats available
Joe Pilates’s gym operated with the assumption that each member would become responsible for the names, order and performance of the exercises. This fostered client independence and improved the connection of the Mind and Body. However, any skill repeated for a long period of time can become automatic and avoiding “auto-pilot syndrome” is a challenge. This workshop presents some fresh ideas that stay within the frame of the classical choreography, yet keep the client engaged on all levels.
