Demystify the work and make it available to every Body

As a Pilates teacher, you are often forced to adapt your instruction to time, limits of the client and to your environment. In this workshop, you will learn multiple variations on Pilates choreography in order to use your teaching time fully as well as provide new opportunities for clients to develop skills. After completing this course your knowledge of the many components available in any one exercise will be significantly expanded so that you will be able to enrich even the most basic routine and keep interest levels up. 

Come prepared to engage and move!

1:00- 4:00 pm Conscious Practice, Conscious Teaching

Address: 5617 Pershing Rd

When we train our bodies to obey a set of arbitrary rules about proper form and healthy behaviors, we may realize a certain level of obedience. But what happens when our experiences cease to fit the mold we’ve created for ourselves?

1:00-2:00pm: movement class exploring inner space, how to work deeper within and build ongoing confidence.

2:00-4:00pm: provides the opportunity to spend time exploring your habitual movement patterns and then assessing if those patterns are accommodating or problematic. You will practice active communication with your body in order to foster harmony and cooperation. You will explore how you talk to yourself and explore how to be healthy with in your own nervous system while authentically being present with your students.

It takes curiosity, imagination and rigorous discipline to explore what is happening in the present moment and to then have a dialogue with your body that is non-aggressive. How do you talk to yourself? How you think about and treat yourself is directly related to how you communicate as a teacher.

This experience and the ability you gain to sense, feel and guide yourself into action also helps you grow as a teacher. You will become more relaxed, centered and coordinated while teaching. The more you intentionally practice entering these states yourself, the more they are passed to your students. 

Co-founder of The Pilates Center, Amy received her Pilates training at the original NYC Pilates studio with her sister Rachel Taylor Segel, under Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates’ protégé. Little did they know, but they would play a significant role in the rebirth of the industry as well as become an integral part of Pilates’ history.

Before starting on their Pilates journeys, Amy and Rachel studied ballet and danced professionally—Rachel with the David Taylor Dance Theatre and with Brent Mason and Company, and Amy with The Garden State Ballet. Amy and Rachel met Romana in New York City in the mid-1980s, founded The Pilates Center in Boulder in 1990, and the rest is history.

Today, Amy and Rachel are Master Pilates Teachers and Teacher Trainers, published authors of the “Everything Pilates Book,” and designers of a line of classically inspired Pilates equipment called CenterLine in partnership with Balanced Body.
