21/11/20 - Joakim Valsinger - Less is More on the Mat
|
“Less is more” - Mies van der Rohe, 1947, Architect.
The architect who coined this phrase was a contemporary of Joseph Pilates and has had a revolutionary impact on the physical world we inhabit. Many parallels can be drawn in the way Joseph Pilates taught us to build our bodily architecture from the inside out. Pilates is so beautifully complex in its simplicity. Many other forms of exercise try to up the ante by shifting more weight faster or for more repetitions. Pilates allows you to go smaller, resist less, do fewer repetitions and often slower which helps clients find a true challenge – whatever their level of ability. In this workshop Joakim looks at Reformer exercises you are already familiar with and shows you how to make slight changes for a big impact. Explore the ‘Spring Conundrum’! Time: 9:00a.m. PST / 5:00p.m. BST / 6:00p.m.CET Price: £25 + Booking Fee Link: Booking not yet available |

28/11/20 - Melanie Christou - ‘Whose class is it anyway?’ Bridging the gap between your and your clients’ expectations.

A webinar that invites Pilates teachers to explore and reflect upon the gap between them and their clients’ goals and expectations. First, you will look at your needs and expectations as a teacher, because subconsciously these are projected onto our clients and how you teach. Then you will move on to identify when your needs and expectations may hinder, or benefit your clients’ experience of their Pilates journey. Finally, Melanie will talk about finding ways to balance out the ratio between teacher and client needs, to create a more collaborative, empathetic and fulfilling experience for both, teacher and client. This workshop consits of a pre-recorded session followed up with a live session.
