Workshop #1: Stretching: Increasing Range Of Motion and Releasing Tight Muscles: What Works, What’s Safe and…What Doesn’t and Isn’t
(10:15 am- 1:15pm)
3 NPCP CECs
Has stretching helped you either increase your range of motion or release your tension of tight muscles? They say it will and should, but it hasn’t. Why not? Is it that you’re not doing it enough? No. That’s not it at all. You’re doing what you’ve been told, but it doesn’t work. Let’s get to what does work!
In this workshop/webinar, we’ll discuss what stretching really is, what really increases range of motion and relieves muscular tension and why what you’ve been doing doesn’t work. AND…then we’ll work on what DOES work! We’ll apply this to Pilates, but, of course, this is applicable to all modalities!
* Lunch Break * (1:15-2:15)
Workshop #2: Archival Arm Strengthener Progressions: From Lying Down to Standing Up and Everything in Between!
(2:30-5:30)
3 NPCP CECs
While Arm Springs on the Cadillac are wonderful, there are an extraordinary number of exercises Mr. Pilates created on many apparatus to strengthen the shoulder girdle and arms. So many! You’ve likely seen only a few. Let’s work on the Cadillac, Reformer, Wunda Chair, High Chair, Arm Chair/ Baby Chair, Magic Circle, Ped-‐o-‐Pull and Standing Arm Springs…just to begin! Exercises for every level and every body!
Sunday, September 11th:
Master Class Workout: Advanced Mat w/ Magic Circle (9am)
1 NPCP CEC
Workshop #1: Baby’s Got Back
(10:15-1:30)
3 NPCP CECs
We’re told that it is our abdominals that give us a strong back. The truth is: it is your back that gives you a strong back. In our work in Pilates, whatever your particular goal is, the strength of the back body is of vital consideration. And not just around your spine, but the back of your legs, pelvis, spine shoulder girdle and arms. In fact, a primary reason many exercises seem difficult to do or “fail” is because the back body has been missed. We will find out that nearly every exercise in every Pilates exercise requires strong cueing of the back body. It is remarkable!The path to accomplishing your and your clients’ physical goals…is through the back!
* Lunch Break * (1:30-2:30)
Workshop #2: Why Can’t I Do That Exercise?
(2:30-5:30pm)
3 NPCP CECs
You know that exercise you can’t seem to do even though you’ve been doing Pilates for a long time? What about the one your client’s can’t seem to accomplish and you can’t figure out why they can’t get it? Every exercise is accomplishable by everyone. It’s a matter of letting the exercise expose the weaknesses and imbalances and then strengthen and balance…right? Yes…but there’s more. We have to actually know what the issue is. When your legs fly up in The Roll Up, it must mean you need more abdominal strength, right? Actually, no. When your hip flexors hurt in your Teaser it must mean you need to turn off your hip flexors, right? Again, no. What myths are we working with that are still hindering our exercises…which hinders our ability to develop strength and balance of soft tissue tension and ultimately help us achieve our physical and professional goals?
