Tuesday Tip: The marriage of flow (continuous movement) and precision is what we seek in Pilates!

If we get obsessed with one and forget the other, we've missed our mark!

This is a comprehensive continuing education program for teachers of any style of Pilates. It is what you’ve been waiting for! And it’s On Demand!⁠
⁠
The Pilates Teacher Intensives (PTI) is a continuing education program for Pilates teachers of all styles. It is not about exercises, but about everything else!⁠
⁠
- Biomechanics with applications to Pilates⁠
- Studying your particular method/style of Pilates and recognizing what each level needs based on what we discovered in biomechanics.⁠
- Incredible teaching tools⁠
- Deep understanding of the apparatus and how to make the most of it⁠
- Injuries, ailments, imbalances and weird aches and pains and how to adapt to these in our work and so so so much more.⁠
- This is not about the individual exercises, though we do a lot of physical work.⁠
- This is not a Bridge program. This program, The Intensives, is designed for any style of Pilates. It’s all of the information and work that one needs that isn’t covered in teacher training programs, but is essential.⁠
⁠
While this is a comprehensive program ultimately designed to do all of the seminars with their associated projects, you can do each seminar separately. I want you to get what you need!⁠
⁠

On-Demand/Pre-Recorded Workshop ~ Shoulder Girdle: A Delicate Balance

The Shoulder Girdle is a complex system. When I first started teaching, all I knew was "pull your wings down" and "crack a walnut". The more I study biomechanics, the more I know there's very little down and no cracking. It's a delicate balance of bone, muscles, ligaments, tendons...and constant reassessing. Dynamic Stability is what we're looking for. Let's spend time studying where we're going with the shoulder girdle and how to get there in Pilates. We'll take time with anatomy and biomechanics, Pilates exercises, common ailments, and all of your questions.

Tuesday Tip: Teaching Pilates is not conversational. To be truly effective, you've got to tell stories and sing songs! Your energy and tone must match the exercise and the workout as a whole! And...it's much more fun for everyone that way!
