Description
This workshop introduces extensions to the existing repertoire to safely introduce the Pilates principals to a broader clientele base. The Sling System is used on the Trapeze table as a learning system, supporting the understanding and application of core principals as a transition from mat to equipment or vice-versa. The guided support of the sling system allows for immediate deeper work and improved proprioceptive feedback while reinforcing optimal alignment for the client. In addition, the sling system technique provides a safe support and modification for those clients with special needs such as Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, MS and Scoliosis.

Objectives

• The Sling System Stability to Core Intelligence introduces a “hands off” core strength management.
• Students will learn to incorporate new fundamentals on the biomechanics of breathing and its influences on movement and spinal alignment (the movement of respiration).
• Participants will learn an in-depth, systematic approach and repertoire designed to guide the client into a deep core strengthening program, with emphasis on optimal and productive form (leading to more depth and challenge for the client).
• Students will learn new modifications and adaptations to aid alignment asymmetries (scoliosis).
