The following workshops are open to Pilates Instructors of any background as well as other movement practitioners. Payment must be made in advance to reserve your space. We are ACE (American Council on Exercise) providers and BOC (Board of Certification) providers.
| Reformer Workout For Men February 17th, 5:30-7:30 Instructor: Kristi Quinn Fee: $125 CECS: .2 STOTT PILATES CECs | Adding these specially designed STOTT PILATES® Reformer exercises to a male client’s routine will boost athletic performance and strengthen the core to minimize the risk of injury. Learn how to tackle this total body workout for optimum strength, endurance agility and conditioning. Discover how adding hand-held Toning Balls™ to a Reformer workout can build coordination and challenge the body from the inside out. |
| 3-D Balance Stability Ball Level 2 Workshop March 4th, 1:00-3:00 Instructor: Michelle Gantz Fee: $125 CECs: .2 STOTT PILATES CECs | This workshop increases the challenge and benefit of the Intermediate Matwork exercises by adapting them to the Stability Ball. The dynamic nature of the ball provides additional proprioceptive challenge and prompts faster stabilization. This workout increases in difficulty from both the Core Balance and Dynamic Balance workouts. Cues and corrections for safety and effectiveness are also covered. Help your clients develop their proprioception! |
| Jumpboard Strength and Conditioning Date: March 23rd, 5:30-7:30 Instructor: Shane Belau Fee: $125 CECs: .2 STOTT PILATES CECs | This workout highlights the Jumpboard’s versatile ability to place a major emphasis on programming to improve the strength of hip, knee and ankle joints in both supine and standing positions. Increased spring resistance is used to emphasize strengthening of the arms and shoulder girdle in upper body work and the legs in lower body work. The Jumpboard is used as a stable base or platform to focus on proper biomechanics of the entire lower kinetic chain, allowing the hip joint to be in a more anatomically neutral alignment when transferring forces from the soles of the feet up through the body. It also serves as a firm support when doing standing leg and torso work. Individual components of this workshop are ideal as a warm up before any sports activity, or as complete standalone workout. The biomechanics of plyometic activity will be discussed based on the concepts discussed previously. |
| The Knee Workshop Date: March 30th, 5:00-9:00 Instructor: Ellen Roth, PT Fee: $125 CECs: .2 STOTT PILATES CECs | Ellen will review the anatomy of the knee and give us a closer look at the patellofemoral joint. Look at why the knee can end up being “the weak link” in the leg, making the hip and ankle do more than their fare share of the work. We will also discuss common knee diagnoses and look at faulty movement patterns. Finally, we will explore what Pilates offers to emphasize knee alignment and strength. |
| Cervical Spine Workshop Date: May 4th, 5:00-9:00 Instructor: Ellen Roth, PT Fee: $125 CECs: .2 STOTT PILATES CECs | Learn the details about the cervical core muscles and how to properly engage these deep muscles. This delicate area of the spine has incredible range of motion and can be injured easily. We will also look at how shoulder girdle alignment and muscular balance affects the cervical spine |
