Fundamentals of Pilates Workshop
|  This workshop would be perfect for the absolute Beginner to the experienced practitioner who wants to deepen their understanding of Pilates mat work. You'll learn basic terminology, anatomy and basic bio-mechanic skills called Fundamentals that are prevalent in all Pilates exercises. Common questions that occur in Pilates are:
-What is the optimal position for my head?
-How many different ways does the pelvis move and how do I move it?
-What is the difference between moving my shoulder joint and moving from my scapula?
-What does my teacher mean when she talks about ribcage placement?
-What's spinal sequencing?
-I still struggle with the breathing...what are some strategies that I can use to deepen my practice?
We're going to really break it down and you'll see how these basic Fundamental skills make up the Classical repertoire.
Date: Saturday, January 19th, 2-4pm Cost: $45 Sign up in studio, at the Embody Activewear store, or register online at the following link Fundamentals Workshop |

Over the next few months, we will also be viewing a documentary of Pilates elder Eve Gentry, as well as video of the complete Pilates repertoire performed by people who are, as Bonny-Lynn describes, "really, really, really good!".
