🎉 NEW EPISODE! 🎉

🎙️S6 E3 is dropping this week!

“Creating Space in Teaching”

This topic was requested by a listener during our Year-End Q&A episode.

In previous episodes we have discussed maintaining boundaries in our work with clients and business hours.

In this episode, we’re discussing finding boundaries when needed in the moment of teaching- maintaining a calm headspace while in a session when encountering a difficult time.

It is the weekend so it is time to get out and explore!!!

Just like in our Pilates practice, look at something in a different way to see the similarities and differences.

The Roll-up flipped upside down is the Rollover...
How is it similar?
How is it different?
🤔

So go out this weekend and do something familiar in a different way or with a different thought process.
Notice something new along the same old route! 👀

And you can always catch up on our podcast wherever you are! 🙌

Workshop info:

The Client In Pain

▫️How to work with clients who are in chronic pain.

▫️How do we help a client move through a Pilates practice when in chronic or long-lasting pain?

▫️What is Pain- the mechanisms of pain, different types of pain, the biopsychosocial model, modern understandings of contributing factors to painful stimuli, pain in the absence of pathology or injury, and differentiation between sensation and pain.

▫️Client’s Experience of pain- fear of movement, kinesiophobia, ideas of bracing/guarding, myths around posture.

▫️Teacher’s Responsibility- scope of practice, appropriate methods of hands-on, encouragement vs enabling.

✨ PILATES DEEP DIVE ✨ Leg Pull Front Here we’re in a plank position This exercise is working overall dynamic stability: 🔸Trunk stability 🔸Shoulder stability 🔸Pelvic stability 🔸Hip extension Focus Points: ➡️Press into the arms as the legs reach and switch ➡️Reach in all directions ➡️Keep the heels pulling back while head reaches forward 🔸Can you keep the body stable as the legs move? 🔸Can you lift off of the shoulders? 🔸Can you keep lifting and pushing the mat and maintain full engagement in the upper body? This prepares us for pushups later on in the mat!
