Version 3: The 4-Day Hybrid - Overview:
This virtual format is designed to minimize travel and loss of work, as the instructional time allows you to teach both before and after our meeting. We meet during "studio down time", It was additionally designed to provide more movement-oriented instruction in addition to the Anatomy. The muscles are fabricated at your pace through online streaming instruction rather than on site during the workshop. Your muscles for each day will be PREBUILT in advance.
​
We suggest you invest in a skeleton of your own purchased directly from Balanced Body. From them you will get everything you need, and you will also get a $50 discount when purchased through this course. They are a wonderful learning and teaching tool. I have numerous hybrid workshops; you will use the skeleton many more times!
​
If you choose not to buy one yet, we have them available for pick up at the studio or mailing, for a nominal fee.
​
Please Note: If you chose to have the skeleton mailed to you, please ensure enough time to get the skeleton and any other supplies required. After the course you will send the Skeleton back to us. There are videos on the website showing how to, assemble, disassemble, clean, prepare for shipping and safely pack the Skeleton for its return trip home.
We spend the first day reviewing anatomical terms and structures then begin building the musculature to get acquainted with the process. The bulk of the muscles will be done utilizing the online instruction. Throughout the course we explore new paradigms related to fascial bio-tensegrity; introduce the work of Thomas Meyers and Philip Beach as movement concepts; discuss the mechanisms of breathing and muscular organization as related to the exercises of the Pilates Method. Each subsequent day will begin with a lecture portion and then more assembly with movement activities.
​
In this course you learn more than where each muscle begins and ends. You will learn how structural integrity can maintain global musculoskeletal wellness and how loss of this integrity will lead to injury and pathology. As a Pilates educator and practitioner, I endeavor to correlate how The Pilates Method provides both muscular conditioning and neurologic retraining which results in the beneficial results Pilates teachers see every day.
The biggest difference is the timing of the two hybrid courses. The two options are:
-
Option A: Four 4.5 hour days plus online video instruction
-
Option B: Two 9+ hour days plus online video instruction

The beauty of this system is that when we meet, the muscles are prebuilt and therefore, we can spend our “together time” without the distraction and stress of manufacture. It also gives us more “experiential” and movement time
​
Please Note: You must register in advance providing enough time to receive the Skeleton, Materials and build the first muscles prior to the workshop. Untimely registrations will be transferred to another date.
