Workshops

As riders our work should begin before we even enter the yard. Our alignment and balance greatly impacts the relationship we have with our horses. This 90 minute workshop begins the journey of creating harmony and unity with your horse through good movement patterns and awareness. ( This can be Reformer OR Mat Based.)

As Pilates teachers we all have certain exercises we never do and rarely teach! This workshop looks at Joseph Pilates 1945 publication ‘Return to life through Contrology” with the aim of breaking down the more complex exercises of the sequence. Looking at the links between movements, helping you experience the work and deliver the repertoire more confidently to your clients.

The magic circle is more than just something to give your client to hold. This small piece of apparatus is an integral part of Mr Pilates work and can be used to help find and deepen the connections to your body, your movement and your work.

“There’s no such thing as a universal cue” Every client has individual needs during their lesson. Group classes and 1-1 teaching can require different levels of cueing, how can we ensure that our clients are understanding our cues and getting the most from their lessons? Do you cue your client anatomically? Spatially? In this workshop we’ll look at how the precision of verbal cueing along with well placed tactile cueing can improve the learning experience of the client.

Are you using the theraband to ‘get better’ at an exercise or to simply “Get through it”? Don’t just put a sticking Plaster over the exercises you find hard, use the band to improve movement and your clients understanding. In this 2 hour workshop we’ll look at how to get the best from your band.
