This weekend starts with the covering the basic history of Pilates as well as going in depth into Return to Life and the foundations of the work. We then progress into the initial presentation of mat and reformer work for clients new to Pilates. Following this we add beginner work on the Cadillac, and High and Low Chairs, also considering alternative exercises that are great to use at the start or end of each session and can be given for homework. This is a great way to review the purpose of each exercise, and how to go deeper into the body using the fundamental work which is the foundation of the intermediate/advanced work.

Module 2 / JUNE 4th, 5th and 6th, 2010 or JANUARY 21st, 22nd and 23rd, 2011

Here we will continue layering on the work of the first module, progressing to the start of intermediate Mat, Reformer, Cadillac and High/Low Chairs. At this time we introduce some work on the Spine Corrector. This module includes looking at how to create a session for a client and how to see when they are ready to progress from beginner to intermediate work. Some time will be taken to discuss the modification of exercises for injury as well as practising identifying the main bony landmarks of the body.
