CLASS. 01Core Stability Advancements and Applications to the Pilates Reformer
Research has advanced our understanding of core stability and how to optimize its training. This workshop will provide exercises designed to effectively develop core strength through higher intensity overload, as well as exercises with large exercise balls and rotator discs on the reformer to develop proprioceptive aspects of multi-planar core stability.
CLASS. 02Unwinding Scoliosis and other Spinal Asymmetries with Pilates
This workshop will present basic anatomy of scoliosis, as well as exercises with bands and the Pilates apparatus that utilize counter rotation, lateral flexion, and distraction of the spine to lessen spinal asymmetries and associated discomfort. Cueing for selected classical Pilates exercises will also be provided to help maximize benefits for your clients with asymmetries from scoliosis or other sources.
