Imagine if you could offer your clients one key correction that would improve the way they move not only when performing the exercises that you are teaching them at that moment but also empower them with knowledge for a lifelong Pilates practice. Pilates students often struggle with understanding the concept of proper pelvis/lower spine alignment or with translating the skill of aligning their spine from one exercise to the next. Consequently, as they repeatedly perform movements but are not able to engage their core muscles or if they feel discomfort in their lower back or SI joints, they start to omit those movements in their workouts. Sometimes they even quit practicing Pilates out of confusion or a fear of injury. In this workshop, I will discuss the issues stemming from incorrect pelvis/lower spine alignment and guide you through a hands-on session to address them. We will analyze and practice how you can assist your clients in troubleshooting these issues in various exercises on the Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Ped-O-Pull, and High Barrel. You will gain clarity and skills to help your clients of all proficiency levels on all apparatus and Mat, improve their Pilates practice, safely and for lifelong benefits.
