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.
