Pilates Exercises – Weekend Intensives

2-3-4 Day Equipment-based Workshops (12-18-24 hours)

The 7 equipment-based workshops are designed to be an encyclopedic listing of exercise vocabularies associated with each apparatus supported with demonstration of the skill-building exercises essential to achieve and perform full classical form and advanced variations. Specifics of machine set-up, body position and orientation, and detailed movement analyses are discussed. Each Pilates exercise is analyzed from initiation to conclusion noting the intention and direction of the action and any spatial or level changes required in the performance for resolution and return.

Pilates Workshops include:
