5th Annual PPN Conference

BUILT TO LAST
Inhabiting the legacy that builds your longevity

The 2026 Program:

In an era filled with fleeting fitness trends and constant industry shifts, it is easy to get overwhelmed by all the hype. Fortunately, true mastery can be found right within our own foundation. Joseph Pilates designed Contrology as a complete system built to withstand the test of time. From day one—and with thanks to those who meticulously passed down the details—the system has literally been "built to last".

As Pilates professionals, the longevity of our own careers depends on that very same durability. This year, we warmly invite you to return to the source, while simultaneously looking ahead and striving for innovation and new discoveries.

The PPN 5th Annual Conference is our biggest event of the year. It is the place for our community to come together, ask critical questions, and enrich our collective expertise. On Sunday, November 1, 2026, we welcome a stellar line-up of top international instructors for a day dedicated to deepening your practice and hands-on mastery.
 

Workshops Presented by Gina Papalia

Building a Wunda-Fun Mat Chair Session
The Wunda Chair was designed as "home equipment". In this workshop, we will explore how to structure a 55-minute session from A-Z based on client level without losing flow or the classical approach. We will follow the Mat work order as a framework to build a logical sequence, transitioning from a stable platform to an unstable step.

Twisting all the air out of the Wunda Chair
This workshop applies the classical Wunda Chair exercises while inserting rotation to challenge both the body and mind in space. We will focus on wringing the air out of the body from head to toe, providing a deeper connection to the foundation and breath.
