0-99 Fascia WORKSHOP

Start strong in your Pilates workout! It begins with targeted movements to spot densifications and “stuck” glides in the body, before you do the “Hundred”. Step by step, toes to ankles, to wrist and neck. With plenty of pre-Pilates material and built-in corrections, you’ll experience an effective, safe, and fun full-body exploration. 

A Systematic Journey into Body Awareness & Fascial Glide

The core of this work lies in fine-tuning the fascial glide—the vital ability of your connective tissue layers to slide smoothly over one another without friction or "velcro-like" snagging. Throughout the workshop, you will learn simple and effective exercises for the full body. To identify your own unique physical “stuck’ fascia densifications. Whether it was chronic restrictions from old injuries, postural weaknesses from daily habits, or a general lack of awareness. This is a great workshop for teachers to learn about their own bodies; then in return, build their own teaching tool kit.

The Pilates Standard: Reformer on the Spine Corrector Workshop

Reformer on the Spine Corrector

Take your knowledge of the reformer order and put it on the spine corrector. This is a critical-thinking experience for the mind and spine. Explore how the body moves and improves with focused use of the spine corrector.

What you’ll do

Reconsider familiar reformer exercises and apply them to the arc and contour of the spine corrector. Take time to breathe, pause and feel the articulation of the spine increases with the ease of the spice corrector.

Can’t make it to Greece, no worries this workshop will be coming to Grasshopper Pilates NYC soon.
