10:30 am - 1:30 pm - Variations to the Max! - 3 NPCP CECS
Oh, sure…there are Advanced, Super Advanced, STAR exercises…but what about the amazing variations on all of the Intermediate and Advanced exercises that you and your clients can work on to play, deepen and make the most of a long life of Pilates? That’s what this workshop is all about! These are all classical variations with a few Shari Berkowitz Specials! Nearly every exercise has a way to advance without even having to learn a new exercise! How many ways can you do The Long Stretch? Sooo many! What about Chest Expansion on the Reformer? Many ways! Do you know the variations on The Hundred?! Oh…the Hundred has, well, probably 100 different ways to do it. Or maybe 10 that really rock! Let’s play!

1:30-3:00 pm - LUNCH BREAK

3:00-6:00 pm - Mysterious Aches and Pains - 3 NPCP CECS
Even your normal, healthy clients still have weird aches and pains. Some that come and go and some that are chronic. In this vibrant workshop, we'll discover the roots of and tips for managing those odd issues like clicking hips, crunchy knees, hyper-extended elbows and knees, pain in wrists, S.I. joint trouble, sciatica, frozen shoulder, migraine headaches, vertigo and so many more! Bring with you your questions about normal physical issues that are seeming mysteries. It's time you got the answers you seek! Let's answer them all!  

Sunday, 2/23
8:00-9:00 am - Group Mat Workout - 1 NPCP CEC

9:30 am-12:30 pm - Osteoporosis and Osteopenia: What to Know and What to Do in Pilates - 3 NPCP CECS
Each month the medical and scientific world knows more and more about everything…including Osteoporosis and Osteopenia. As the greater knowledge increases and alters, then so should yours and our guidelines. In this workshop, you’ll get a solid education on what these conditions are based on the most up-to-date information and how to address them in Pilates both on equipment and on the mat. Is what we do the same on mat and the equipment? What do we let our clients do? What must they not do? How do we modify when needed? How do we make sure our clients do the right things? What do we do when they fight us? Even if you only meet up with one client with osteoporosis in your entire teaching life, you need to know what to do and what not to do…and it happens to be different from what you learned just last year!

12:30-2:00 pm - LUNCH BREAK

2:00-5:00 pm - Archival Arm Strengthener Progressions: From Lying Down to Standing Up and Everything in Between - 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. What do you do other than the typical Rowing on the Reformer and Standing Arm Springs off the Cadillac to progress and strengthen more? Where are the lost exercises? I’ll tell you where: Here in this workshop! Let’s dig into the exercises you and your clients need to progress into the strength for which you dream!

Course Descriptions

Master Classes
A Pilates class with Shari is a true education. You’ll find your body and brain sweating with both a strong workout and a new education: physical and intellectual. Now…you get PMA CECs for these classes. We’ll work hard for 45 minutes on a particular theme. Then we’ll take time to discuss. Workout first. Embody and Experience. Discussion next. Intellectual understanding for the teacher. It’s a mini-workshop…a maxi-hour!
Whether in a group class or in a private session, we must work with a theme…an intrinsic action that we’re working to teach our clients to incorporate into each exercise in Pilates…and life. Join in and learn while you do, then discuss how to make a class extremely effective!

The Teaser Workshop
All is going great with your workout, session, or class and then you meet up with: The Teaser! Either you have to do it or you have to teach it...and both you and your clients are filled with the seemingly unanswerable question: “Why can’t I do The Teaser?” It’s time to learn why The Teaser doesn’t work out well and how to get it to be fantastic! Getting to The Teaser is a beautiful, yet often missed progression. Maybe the progression is even more detailed than you’d expect! The time has come to own your Teaser...and help your clients to own it, too!

Proprioception and Interoception: How Can I Tell What I’m Doing?
Where are you in space? How do you know without looking in the mirror or needing hands-on? How do you clients know? In The Vertical Workshop, our method works to develop both your sense of your body in space and what’s going on in the inside. When we develop and help our clients develop this, great changes can occur! Physical goals can be achieved! It is a vital aspect to muscle learning and real change that goes beyond the session or class. Why isn’t it taught more? Why don’t Pilates teachers recognize the value of it? It’s time you developed this and taught it! Teaching is so much easier and more rewarding when we use all of the tools available to us! This one is a bit of a mind-blower!

 Why Can’t I Do That Exercise? (And I can’t get my clients to do it, either!)
Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair: 4 Part Series - Choose 1 or all! 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 clients 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 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 helps us achieve our physical and professional goals?

 Mysterious Aches and Pains
Even your normal, healthy clients still have weird aches and pains. Some that come and go and some that are chronic. In this vibrant workshop, we'll discover the roots of and tips for managing those odd issues like clicking hips, crunchy knees, hyper-extended elbows and knees, pain in
wrists, S.I. joint trouble, sciatica, frozen shoulder, migraine headaches, vertigo and so many more! Bring with you your questions about normal physical issues that seem mysterious. It's time you got the answers you seek! Let's answer them all!

Challenged Relationships: The Snake, The Teaser, The Neck Pull, The Roll Up and more…
What is the missing link between all of these exercises? What makes these seemingly difficult to do and teach? What are we overlooking?! That is exactly what we’ll discover in this dynamic workshop! There’s nothing mysterious about why some can do these and some cannot.  Every single one of these exercises is right for you: teacher! And then what about your clients? How do we progress them appropriately? Let’s delve into the different aspects of these exercises that connect them to each other from the articulation and dynamic stabilization of joints to progressions in teaching and learning. All of your questions will be answered! Let’s play!

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 no down and no cracking. It's a delicate balance of bone, muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia…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. Take a moment to review what you already know before the workshop...then we can grow from there.

Saturday

Sunday
Thoracolumbar Fascia: The Second Brain of Movement
Fascia has been a major topic in movement and movement education lately but are you aware of the central role the Thoracolumbar Fascia plays? Through my years of research on this subject and applying research to movement, the Thoracolumbar Fascia has proven to be what I call "The Second Brain of Movement". In the effort to develop balance and efficiency in the musculoskeletal system, accessing the Thoracolumbar Fascia is key to unlocking dysfunction and returning balance to whole body. Learn how to address the Thoracolumbar Fascia with the Pilates exercises you already know. All of this will make your teaching 100% more effective and create fantastic change for your clients.

10:30am - 1:30pm - The Secret to Teaching Mixed Level Semi-Privates - 3 NPCP CECs
❓Wish you had more hours in your teaching day?
❓Want to make more money while making Pilates less expensive for clients?
Mixed Level Semi-Privates are the answer! In this workshop you'll learn the tricks to teaching two or more people of different levels on different apparatus at the same time. Get ready to have fun while making the most out of your time and your studio.

- Lunch Break -

2:30 - 5:30pm - Twisted & Rotated Pelvises: It's simpler than you think! - 3 NPCP CECs
Whether from scoliosis or just life, everyone has a rotation of the pelvis. That rotation leads to many compensatory imbalances. Strong here, weak there...it's no joke. The world has told you it's complicated. I am here to tell you that it's not. It's far easier to manage and rebalance than most realize. Let me teach you what you need to do and why.
Here's what you'll get from this workshop:
1 - You'll understand why pelvises rotate.
2 - You'll have a complete protocol of how to address these rotations on all apparatus.
3 - You'll have homework to give your clients to continue the process between sessions.

Joseph Pilates created somewhere between 500-600 exercises. You know some of the repertoire...it's time to learn more. In this workshop, you'll learn rarely seen and immediately useful exercises on multiple apparatus (Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair and more) all created by Joseph Pilates. You'll walk away feeling confident in the purpose and technique of each exercise and have your own special archive of exercises for your strong intermediate clients...and yourself!

Semi-Private Workout | 2p, 3p or 4p session available:
Join Shari for a one hour Semi-Private session. Learn while you sweat! Space is limited, so take advantage of early registration.
Cost: $60

Saturday, Feb 25th
Master Class Workout- Mat with Archival Variations | 1 NPCP CEC | 9a - 10a:
Join Shari for a one hour Mat with Archival Variations class. Learn while you sweat! We'll work hard for 45 minutes, then take time to discuss. Workout first. Embody and Experience. Discussion Next.
Single Cost: $65

Great Groups & Sensational Semis | 3 NPCP CECs | 10:30a-1:30p:
Group classes and Semi-Privates are a reality in modern day Pilates, but were you ever really trained on how to make them successful? Shari will teach you the guidelines, tools and techniques to easily teach flowing, fun and fantastic Groups and Semi-Private Sessions on all Apparatus. Learn to really teach Pilates to a group, rather than just give many exercises, how to work with multiple levels of clients at one time so they can grow individually. Be ready to learn and practice these skills in this dynamic workshop! Let's make classes and semi-privates extremely satisfying for teachers and clients.
Single Workshop Cost: $195

Knees: All You Need to Know & A Little Bit More | 3 NPCP CECs | 2:30p - 5:30p:
No matter what the alignment (bowed, knock, normal, hyper-extended), no matter what the imbalance (ACL tears, MCL tears, meniscal tears, ITB syndrome) we've all got knees and need to know how to care for them. In this workshop we'll take the time to understand the physiology and functional anatomy of the knee complex as well as the changing dynamics from the alignment issues, imbalances and traumas that commonly exist. We'll apply that knowledge to caring for knees in Pilates. Knees ought to be an easy part of the body for our clients: running, skiing, climbing stairs or just sitting, standing and walking...we must understand knees.
Single Workshop Cost: $195

Sunday, Feb 26th
Master Class Workout- Tower/Wall Unit Class | 1 NPCP CEC | 9a - 10a:
Join Shari for a one hour Tower/Wall Unit class. Learn while you sweat! We'll work hard for 45 minutes, then take time to discuss. Workout first. Embody and Experience. Discussion Next.
Single Cost: $65

Wonderful Wunda Chair | 3 NPCP CECs | 10:30a-1:30p:
The Wunda Chair is often misunderstood and feared. With the influx of wunda/small chair classes, truly understanding the chair, it's history, exercises, and uses is even more important than ever. It's one of the most versatile and exciting pieces of apparatus in the studio. In this workshop, you'll learn how to use it as part of or as a complete session always keeping movement flowing with purpose.
Single Workshop Cost: $195

End Up! | 3 NPCP CECs | 2:30p - 5:30p:
Do you know the song "It's not where you start, it's where you finish?" (Fear not...I'll sing it to you during the workshop.) In Pilates we must consider where we start AND where we finish. Yet many sessions and classes seem to end with a drip and a fizzle rather than a pop or some punctuation on the entire session. We've got to leave our client with "what it takes" to step out the door and go into the rest of the day. We must finish standing up! But picking the appropriate standing exercises on the appropriate apparatus is a skill in itself. And how many exercises to we have? Many to choose from and more to learn! In this workshop you'll learn more exercises, remember ones you had forgotten and make sure each workout is the best it can be!
Single Workshop Cost: $195

Cancellation Policy: If you have to cancel 30 days or more (on or before January 25th) 100% refund. 14 days (on or before February 10th) 50% refund. Less than 14 days before, no refunds.

Pittsburgh, PA - ViviPilates

I’m always excited to come visit my home away from home: Pittsburgh!!
And studio away from studio: ViviPilates!
I hope you’ll join me to celebrate my birthday and do some kickin’ Pilates!!!
Total weekend is 14 NPCP CECs!

Friday, December 16
Semi-private sessions: 2, 3, 4pm

Saturday, December 17 (Shari’s Birthday!!!!!)
9:00am-5:30pm

9am Thematic Mat Class - 1 NPCP CEC

10:30am Biomechanics and Functional Anatomy (6 hours) - 6 NPCP CECs
While your physical intuition is an important asset in teaching Pilates, intuition is not enough. To sincerely take care of your clients, you must know the truth of how the body works.  Cue the reality, not the myths or mistakes. Being a confident teacher depends on it…demands it.  We’ll work to understand the best theories on biomechanics:  Biotensegrity and Biodynamics.  Then apply this information to your teaching and the affects on the entire body focused first on the pelvis and spine.  Knowing and understanding is the only way.
(There will be a 1 hour lunch break built into the workshop)

Sunday, December 18
9:00am-5:30pm

9am Thematic Mat Class - 1 NPCP CEC

10am Archival Baby Chair, Pedi Pull & Standing Exercises (3 hours) - 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 that are remarkably accessible for you and your clients once you know them! Let’s work on The Arm Chair/Baby Chair, Ped-‐o-‐Pull and Standing Arm Springs...just to begin! Exercises you’ve likely never seen and soon shall never forget!

Lunch break (1 hour)

2:30pm Inversions and Upside Down Exercises (3 hours) - 3 NPCP CECs
From The Jackknife to The Candlestick Walkover, any exercise where pelvis is lifted is a solid challenge. Why is it easy for some and hard for others? How do we progress a client to be able to one day flip over the bars on the Trapeze Table? What does it really take? Do I have to practice handstands all of the time? Then why aren’t handstands part of the method as a whole? Let’s discover what it takes and work on the progressions to get there. It’s time that you and your clients get the benefit of Inversions and Upside Down Exercises!

Pictures say a thousand words. Right? Yes! We’ll work through how to create truly iconic images that last with your clients through each session and their lives!
