Stretch

Pilates Core Stabilization for the Personal Trainer

A stable core is essential for any exercise program. It is the foundation for all subsequent conditioning. Using proven Pilates techniques, maximize your training results by learning how to stabilize both the professional’s and the client’s core.

Athlete Workshop Series

This series of three (3) two-hour Pilates-based workshops is designed to give the athlete the tools to prevent injury and/or rehabilitate minor injuries. Each workshop will present specific exercises that have helped condition Olympic Gold and professional athletes (soccer, football, baseball, hockey, etc). The first will address proper stretching to achieve muscle balance that will increase joint stability. Benefits include increased range of motion along with increased blood-flow around and lubrication within the joint(s). The second will focus on core-stabilization and will build on the first. A strong core (abdominal, back, and pelvic girdle musculature) with flexible limbs is ideal in sports. The third is devoted to the knee, foot and ankle.
