THE ONLINE PILATES EVENT OF THE YEAR

This workshop will instruct teachers on how to utilize the Foam Roller in a mat class to challenge clients flexibility and stability.

This workshop will focus on reviewing the Intermediate Mat exercises and variations. Learn how to challenge an intermediate student by utilizing intermediate and some advanced level exercises. This workshop will be helpful for those teaching mat as well as apparatus sessions. Be prepared to move and practice!

During this course you will learn how to keep your multi-level class moving safely as well as challenged at all levels. We will go through exercises from beginner thru the intermediate/advanced level and chart how to layer the exercises to create an effective yet challenging movement experience for all levels at once. Come prepared to move and leave with valuable, usable information for both Tower classes and semi-private situations.

Develop a method to the madness! Teaching semi-privates sessions can be fun and profitable, but you just need a game plan. Take this workshop and help devise a strategy or strategies that will help you feel at ease, organized and in control when teaching a semi-private session, all the while offering each individual client a sufficient workout.

How many times have clients asked you can we just stretch today? How do you honor this request but still give them a valid Pilates session. After all, the Pilates method is based on a balance of both stretch and strength and too much of one or the other is NOT a good thing! Stretching is defined as a form of exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon is deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's elasticity and range of motion. In this workshop, we will learn about the 7 different types of stretching, go over all the classical exercises that have stretching inherently built in, learn how to assist your clients in stretching and how to make a client feel as if they are getting a stretch session when in reality they are just getting a Pilates session.

Come to this dynamic and interactive workshop on marketing and retention tactics that don't require a big budget. Simple yet effective strategies that you can implement right away.

Nobody's perfect, right? Right! This workshop will cover the beginner/intermediate mat exercises with safe and effective strategies and modifications for clients with special needs. We will review specific modifications for low back pain, knee injuries, shoulder pain, neck issues, osteoporosis and pregnancy.

Joseph Pilates created this unique piece of equipment as his own version of the "Home Reformer." This underused piece of equipment tends to be misunderstood and therefore left out of sessions. There are so many Chair exercises that can be incorporated into a client's session. Learn how to go deeper into these exercises by understanding their underlying principles and utilizing this vocabulary sequentially with flow. This workshop will enable you to challenge your clients and take them to the next level with a different and exciting workout.

Many of our clients are sedentary for most of the day, hunched over devices or their kids. The result? Adults are reverting back to the fetal position as early as their 20s which puts them at risk for developing neck, shoulder, lower back and hip pain, and even diminished lung capacity. This workshop is designed to improve functional posture by using the support, elevation, and sensory feedback from the Spine Corrector.

Learn how to custom design a challenging and enjoyable Cadillac routine incorporating key elements and principles of a Power Pilates session. Come prepared to work out and be creative!

Learn how to integrate these useful props into your mat class or create a Pilates on the Ball class-great for Pilates Studios and Health Clubs. See how the use of various ball props can literally help place the beginner/intermediate student's center of gravity in their core, while challenging the advanced student with additional resources. Come prepared to workout and flow.

Joseph Pilates created a beautiful progression on a piece of equipment that is overlooked too often: the Barrel. He created the Barrels to gradually open two very restricted areas of our body: the hips and the shoulders. We will work through this progression from Small Barrel up to the Ladder Barrel in such a way that it will become easier to incorporate the Barrels into almost every workout!

This workshop is ideal for instructors and strong intermediate level clientele who want to review the exercises, transitions and variations of the intermediate reformer. We will focus on optimal technique, as well as the progressions to the advanced level.

Advanced clients don't always have to do the advanced reformer or mat work to be challenged at their level. This is a matter of vocabulary. This workshop will help you to return to the Beginner System, to challenge the client with the clarity of anatomically stabilizing cues. We will revisit all of the biomechanical concepts and how to apply them to the basic workout!

What is osteoporosis and what modifications do you need to make for a Pilates session? In this workshop, we will learn about primary and secondary osteoporosis - what they are, who gets them, what to avoid, and how to support and advance your client
