In this workshop, we'll explore verbal and touch cuing in the context of the Beginner System. We will discuss how to efficiently convey the wealth of information without flooding the client. When is touch appropriate? Which verbal cues are most effective? Come away from this workshop with a better understanding of appropriate cues at appropriate times.

Get ready to focus on the classical intermediate order and how to make it work for a range of students! We discuss the crucial distinction between Variations and Modifications and how and when to utilize them in your classes. Through practical execution and precise cueing analysis, you'll learn to strategically apply both approaches—using variations to appropriately challenge your students' practice and using modifications to ensure safety and accessibility—all while preserving the powerful flow and underlying principles of Joseph Pilates' original system.

This workshop is designed for Classical Pilates teachers to explore the Wunda Chair as a powerful tool for reinforcing and advancing the core principles found in the Mat and Reformer repertoires. We will meticulously break down how Wunda Chair exercises—like Push Down, Pull Up, and Teaser—function as direct analogues to fundamental Mat exercises (e.g., Roll Up, Hundred) and classic Reformer movements (e.g., Elephant, Frog). By focusing on shared goals of stability, unilateral strength, and core integration, you will learn to utilize the chair's unique challenge of gravity and minimal support to troubleshoot complex movements and drive your clients' mastery across all apparatus, ensuring a truly integrated and seamless classical system.

Master the flow, precision, and application of the most popular pilates apparatus, the Reformer. We will conduct a thorough review of the demanding Advanced Reformer exercises, focusing specifically on the classical transitions that create a seamless, challenging, and continuous workout experience. You will learn to strategically implement high-level variations to further deepen the work for highly proficient clients in private sessions and gain practical strategies for thoughtfully advancing skilled individuals within a group class setting, ensuring you maintain the integrity and pacing of the full advanced system while providing appropriate challenge and progression.

This workshop delves into common back issues, including herniated/bulging discs, scoliosis, and even undiagnosed pain. We'll discuss these conditions to help you understand what's happening in the body and equip you with effective Pilates exercises specifically designed to safely strengthen the Powerhouse. Learn which exercises to avoid to prevent further discomfort, alleviate pain and improve overall function for your clients.

Strengthen your foundation from the ground up and the hands out! This essential workshop, designed for both classical Pilates teachers and dedicated clients, dives deep into the anatomy, common ailments, and proper alignment of the wrists and ankles. Learn to build the crucial strength, stability, and flexibility needed for daily tasks like typing, carrying, and balancing, as well as complex Pilates exercises. We will explore targeted Pre-Pilates exercises using small props and learn to apply optimal wrist and ankle alignment cues across the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Mat repertoire to enhance performance and reduce the risk of strain or weakness.

This workshop for Classical Pilates Teachers provides a systematic approach to teaching the Cadillac (Trapeze Table) repertoire, focusing on safe and effective progressions from foundational exercises to the most advanced movements. We will analyze the repertoire's structure, demonstrating how exercises like Rolling In and Out build the core control necessary for Teaser, and how the essential Tower series prepares the body for Hanging work. Emphasis will be placed on understanding spring tension adjustments, proper setup for safety, and providing the precise cueing needed to guide clients successfully through the full progression of movements, ensuring deep strength development and mastery of the apparatus.

This workshop will take you through the classical technique and proper teaching tools of the full Advanced Mat order. Refine your knowledge of the exercises, develop new and more efficient cues, and learn how to take your client to the next level with efficient flow and transitions from one exercise to the next. We'll discuss how and where the Advanced Mat exercises can be utilized in private and semi-private sessions.

Learn how to incorporate this multi-faceted and useful tool, the Theraband into a mat class; for a fun and challenging workout! This course offers many different ways to use the Theraband during a classical Intermediate/Advanced Mat class. We will go over multiple ways to use the band for each exercise: we will show you how to apply the Theraband to give support and to create awareness, we will demonstrate how to use the band as a tool to challenge by adding resistance to the mat class, and finally we will give you some tips on how to take some exercises to another level.

This workshop will help you maximize the potential of the Tower in a group class setting. We will focus on developing a systematic and safe approach to programming and leading Tower classes, emphasizing efficient transitions, clear spring management, and the use of the push-through bar, roll-down bar, and springs to offer varying levels of challenge simultaneously. You will gain practical strategies for maintaining the classical flow and pacing while addressing common student difficulties, ensuring you can deliver a challenging, integrated, and well-organized workout that makes the Tower accessible and effective for groups of varying skill levels.

Master the unique challenges and rewarding dynamics of instructing semi-private sessions (duets or trios). The course will emphasize efficient programming to address different client needs and apparatus simultaneously, strategic cueing that serves multiple students without sacrificing personalized attention, and mastering the art of safe spring management and transitions in a small group setting. By improving instructional efficiency and client management, teachers can confidently lead these sessions, directly contributing to increased studio revenue by optimizing time and resources, ensuring a profitable and well-executed experience that maintains the classical integrity and flow for all clients.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the most common and least talked about issues affecting women. Pregnancy, childbirth, and aging all take a toll on the pelvic floor that can lead to discomfort, pain, and incontinence. In this workshop, we'll discuss common issues and how Pilates can help support clients experiencing pelvic floor disfunction.

Joseph Pilates created a beautiful progression on an often-overlooked piece of equipment, the Barrel. Wipe the dust off your Barrel and remember what a great piece of equipment it can be! The Barrel allows access to gradually open two very restricted areas of our body, the hips and shoulders. We will work through this progression from the Small Barrel up to the Ladder Barrel in such a way that it becomes easier to choreograph the Barrels into almost every workout.

Learn how to create a safe, effective program for clients with scoliosis. Understand the variations of scoliosis and their health risk to the client. Design a program that allows for a balance between stability and mobility of the spine while helping your client gain strength and functionality. We'll discuss how best to use breath and cuing to support a client with scoliosis on the mat and apparatus.

Joseph Pilates created his equipment in an attempt to help open, align and challenge the body. As familiar as we are are with the mat, Reformer and Cadillac; we often underutilize or even forget about his smaller creations. During this workshop you will learn how to use the Foot Corrector, Toe Corrector, Magic Square, Bean Bag, Breath-a-Cizer, Pedi-Pole as well as the Jumpboard created by NASA.
