Mastering Inversions from Return to Life
Our Teaching Philosophy:
In this workshop Alison and Julie combine their decades of teaching practice to bring you the how and the why behind each of the inversion exercises included in “Return to Life”
Our aim is to give you the skills to see how these exercises builds upon the previous exercise and connects forward to the next.
We take logical movement progressions, beginning from “Pre-Pilates” exercises that will deepen your clients understanding of their movement and how to move confidence to begin executing the inversion exercises.
By breaking down every inversion into manageable building blocks you’ll have the tools to find that vital “entry” point for your client into the exercises.
Our aim is for you to:
-
To deepen your understanding of inversions:
-
How to redistribute your body weight as you roll
-
How to control the roll so you roll onto the back of the thoracic spine
