As instructors, we build confidence and capability as we gain experience and grow our clientele. Sometimes, however, we face client challenges that the system alone can’t address— but which also fall within our scope of practice. These include asymmetry, balance or coordination challenges, short-term or non-urgent pain, deconditioned bodies, and more. How can we work appropriately and effectively with these challenges while remaining within our scope of practice?

 

This workshop focuses on pre-Pilates strategies and exercise modifications from the historical work of Eve Gentry, Kathy Grant, and Romana Kryzanowska. From breathing strategies to breaking down more complicated movements, this workshop will arm instructors with techniques and repertoire suitable for older or injured clients, bad days, and everything in between. Participants will also have the opportunity to workshop programming for their own challenging clients
