Merging Wellness and Fitness to Create Real-Life Pilates Programs
Discover Pilates as a vital and meaningful integration methodology that bridges the gap between the therapeutic and conventional studio environment. Body Logic content focuses on improving the instructional quality and biomechanical understanding of Pilates exercises using Pilates equipment. This workshop aims to deepen the teaching skill level of the practitioner to merge wellness and fitness into true vitality for the client/patient.

Objectives

• Improving and deepening the teaching skill according to new movement biomechanics through concept of length tension: dynamic core control.
• The understanding of a new model of human movement as the foundation of our teachings (according to Phillip Beach).
• Expanding the repertoire with:
• Variations and modifications suitable for therapeutic or clinical application.
• Further using variations to deepen the body of work.

Course Curriculum includes:

• In-depth functional anatomy biomechanics illustrated by 3D presentations and PowerPoint.
• Practical applications of these teachings are applied in the analysis of the movement repertoire.
• The course is taught in a noncompetitive supportive environment where each student will experience the work hands-on and will practice the teaching and cueing in one format.
