The gentle, basic movement principles were developed to assist in accomplishing movement patterns efficiently and without pain. This workshop is designed for students who are interested in exploring the advanced levels of the Pilates work and the physical skills that make these exercises easier to execute and accessible to teach. We will take a deeper look at the bio-mechanics of the advanced material on the Reformer, Cadillac, Low chair and Mat in order to create a pallet of physical skills that inform and connect this material. Students should come prepared to move, play and explore. This workshop will begin with a short mat class to warm up the body and focus the mind.
All trainees are welcome.
This four hour workshop is designed to offer teachers and movement educators a glimpse into the philosophy, creativity, and exercises designed and taught by Kathleen S. Grant. We will focus on developing a pallet of movement and breathing options with an emphasis on how to customize the Pilates work and equipment for the individual client. Using the Pilates repertory, springs, props, and images we will investigate the many options available to us when teaching the Pilates work. This approach will allow teachers a variety of ideas for teaching all types of clients - injured or healthy. This workshop is open to any interested person.
