NEW! the pilates teacher pop-up series: deepening your practice and scope with — the next 3 sundays from 5-6:30pm EST! all virtual, 3rd one is virtuAL AND in person ✨
this sun, 3/15 is PART 1: core engagement reimagined: axial decompression + rib mobility
✅ objective: introduce pilates teachers to cutting-edge, non-effortful methods for optimizing core engagement and function by focusing on positional set-up and nuanced cueing.
✅ key topics:
beyond the “pull in”: exploring new ideas for engaging the core that move past direct contraction and into strategies that optimize engagement through exercise set-up and refined cueing.
- axial decompression & transversus abdominus: deep diving into the concept of achieving spinal length (axial decompression) as a primary mechanism for engaging the TVA and lengthening the attachment sites of the psoas.
-rib mobility and respiration: examining the crucial role of thoracic and rib cage mobility in improving respiration mechanics. we will discuss diaphragm positioning as a foundational precursor to optimizing the core’s pressurization system.
