"Back to Basic" Pre-conference workshop for Focus clients 
By internationally reknowned Pilates expert Mr.Dav Cohan 
 
dav cohenDav has a Master of Science Degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Miami. He has taught Pilates in a variety of fitness and rehabilitation settings, including Orthopaedic Physiotherapy clinics, fitness centers and the Miami City Ballet. He has been a Principal Educator with Polestar Education since 1997 and was Director of Educator Development for Australia and New Zealand and is now the Curriculum Director of Polestar Pilates USA.
 
Pilates is a dynamic, ever-changing form of exercise that evolves as your body changes. As you progress, revisiting the most basic, essential Pilates movements can be a whole new experience (and quite a workout!) As the Pilates method is based on progressions, it is important that the basic movements are done with accuracy and precision as that will create the foundation for your future skill development. This will be an interactive workshop where you will learn hands-on skills, experience movement anew and have the opportunity to ask questions. 

Workshop is on Wed 15th July,2009 12.30-2.00pm at Focus, fee S$65 only.  Other pre-conference classes are exercise classes which are also suitable for both Pilates instructor and clients. All pre-conference classes will fill up, please register now.

toe sox  
Pilates toe socks made from organic cotton available soon at Focus.
 
toe sox
We recommend Toe Sox because:
- You have more grip for your feet on the footbar.  
- It provide added control.
- Added hygiene
- It features a horizontal stripe at the metatarsal head which is a great visual cue to proper foot alignment during Pilates exercises.
