Description
This 3-hour, evidence-informed workshop deepens your understanding of the pelvis as a central structure in efficient, integrated movement. Rooted in physical therapy principles and classical Pilates methodology, this course gives professionals practical tools to assess pelvic function, refine cueing, and support clients in building postural control, core integration, and movement efficiency.

Participants will learn through lecture, movement labs, and case-based discussion using foundational Pilates mat exercises and variations. Emphasis is placed on differentiating pelvic motion from hip articulation, understanding pelvic rhythm in gait and breath, and applying strategies that improve lumbopelvic stability and control through the transverse abdominal wall and posterior chain. This workshop supports better programming, injury prevention, and performance optimization across a wide range of bodies and needs.

This workshop includes guided movement exploration, partner-based observation and cueing practice, instructor demonstration, group discussion, and case study application for special populations.

Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to:
- Identify key anatomical landmarks and describe the biomechanics of the pelvis, sacroiliac joints, and supporting musculature
- Recognize common movement dysfunctions and postural deviations related to pelvic alignment and their impact on lumbar mechanics and gait
- Demonstrate cueing strategies that support pelvic alignment, lumbopelvic stability, and spinal support
- Apply movement sequences that improve pelvic awareness, mobility, and load transfer
- Design client-specific programming that integrates breathwork, pelvic floor activation, and spinal stabilization
