A Pilates Teachers Weekend with Clare Dunphy Hemani

June 8-9, 2023

Saturday 8:30 AM-3:00 PM Unlocking the Secrets to Healthy Upper Body Movement

Do you have clients who suffer from shoulder pain, neck pain, flaring ribs, or lack of connection to their powerhouse? Even small misalignments in the upper body can cause injuries and prevent clients from getting the full benefits of their workout. As teachers, it's important to focus on alignment in the fingers, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and shoulder girdle for healthy movement. Help your clients understand how to find their “upper powerhouse” in different movements and apparatus to get out of pain and hopefully avoid surgery. Join Clare Dunphy Hemani as she shares her perspective with practical, usable tips that have been proven to work. Through hands-on practice, discussion, demonstration, and case studies, you will be able to confidently address upper body issues. Whether it's shoulder pain, wrist strain, or other challenges, you'll gain the skills and knowledge to assist clients in achieving their goals. Don't let minor misalignments hold your clients back. Sign up for our workshop now and elevate your teaching skills.
