The workshop will again include two segments. First you’ll learn about the anatomy of the spine, understanding neutral spine, “tucking” and how to mobilize safely in all directions. We will talk about common causes of back pain and how to support healthier spines through awareness and movement. The lecture portion will be followed by a movement class where you’ll apply Pilates repertoire to the information you’ve just learned. You’ll leave feeling confident in your understanding of spinal mobility and stability.
This workshop is ideal for anyone looking to deepen their movement practice and enhance their understanding of the spine. Message or email me to register

I am delighted to share the first in a new series of workshops I will be offering over the summer! These workshops are for EVERYONE to both dive deeper into your PIlates practice and expand your movement potential. Each workshop will have a unique focus, so I highly recommend attending as many as you’re able.
The workshop is divided into two sections, beginning with introducing the anatomy of breathing and foundational breathing techniques for both stability and mobility. The lecture portion will be followed by a 60-minute movement class focused on integrating these principles. You’ll learn to access the multifaceted benefits of breath, including power, flexibility, clarity, and relaxation.
This workshop is ideal for anyone looking to deepen their movement practice and enhance their understanding of breath. Instructors looking to enrich their students’ movement experiences will receive three (3) National Pilates Certification Program continuing education credits upon completion.
