October 2008
Greetings! 
 
I have been working with my teachers, Kim Fielding and Mandi Chan, in developing a Pilates class using leg springs and an aerobic segment on the physioball. It is an hour class first starting with a Pilates mat with springs. 
 
I love how the springs invite a deeper tone of my core and limbs. 
 
Then we end with an aerobic simple workout on the physioballs. We want the aerobic section to bring in the Pilates concepts of connection. The movements on the ball are fun, graceful and energetic. I can't believe how great I feel especially someone with knee problems...Read more

Scoliosis Workshop For Pilates Teachers with Joy Puleo  
Dates: Sun 11/9/2008 
Time:  10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Cost: $150

This workshop will examine the spine, its weight bearing capacity, curves, structure and muscular attachments. Scoliosis changes the nature of the spine and all of the above are subsequently effected. We will look closely at just how muscular balance is affected and what that means for movement patterns. We will also explore other changes, diseases, and degenerations of the spine (including but not limited to: osteoporosis, arthritis, herniations), which cause decreased range of motion, pain and discomfort. Finally we will experiment with training techniques designed to strengthen, balance and assist in minimizing spinal anomalies
