May Workshop

Do you ever get frustrated that you can’t quite do an exercise that your teacher teaches?Do you ever say to yourself…I’ve been practicing Pilates for quite awhile now…you’d think I’d be able to do that?!
Do you ever feel like you’re “pretending” that you can do an exercise — but in reality you know you’re not using the right muscles?
Do you ever find yourself wanting to know exactly what an exercise is supposed to feel like or where you are supposed to be feeling the work at?
Do you ever find yourself wanting to know exactly what an exercise is supposed to feel like or where you are supposed to be feeling the work at?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you will love my upcoming workshop..exploring the Intermediate and Advanced Pilates exercises. The exercises we’ll be learning about are the exercises that often get left out of all levels classes for a few reasons. They get left out because quite honestly there’s not always time to do ALL the exercises in a 50 minute class.

They also get left out because even though there are versions available to ANY body, the full expression of the exercise is not always suitable for ANY body. As teachers we know that even though we teach students to work at “their working level” if we are teaching a group of students it’s practically irresistible for clients to not try the most advanced version…even though it could potentially be unsafe or not right for their body. Because safety and making sure the entire class gets a great whole body workout is always a teacher’s first priority, the advanced exercises don’t always get taught…because you don’t necessarily need them to accomplish those two things.

If you want to keep progressing in the Pilates method, having an understanding of these advanced exercises and the skills that are needed to do them will help you progress in all of your exercises. You’ll feel more comfortable in your all levels Pilates Mat classes and you’ll be confident in your ability to take an intermediate or advanced level class if you want to practice these exercises more often.

This workshop will explain the intermediate and advance exercises and you’ll learn how you can do a basic version of the exercise with the skills you already know how to do.

You’ll walk away with a new appreciation of the exercises you are already doing and ideas on how you can easily start challenging yourself in a safe way to keep progressing in the method.
