Mat Additions that Increase Every Pilates Goal

Rachel Taylor Segel

While in “stay-at-home” Covid mode, we can feel reduced to straight-forward Mat workouts.

BUT, what if we could increase the value of some of those exercises?

and could spot-strengthen or stretch certain parts of the body more?

and could add movements that aren’t highlighted in the Matwork already?

Well, we can and will! Join Rachel for a 2-hour intermediate Mat workshop that sneaks in all kinds of Pilates exercises between and in addition to our time-honored series. Things like more feet, shoulder and hand exercises. Additions that don’t lose body heat but do increase the value of what we receive already: more oxygen, blood circulation, full-body organization. End up more “massaged” AND more invigorated as a practitioner and as a teacher (-:

4 Exercises in 1: Seamless classes at Any Level

The original inspiration for this workshop came from listening to the concerns of newer teachers learning to teach beginning level classes.  They found that in their experience there was not enough material, when following the prescribed order and curriculum, to teach an hour long class.  They were talking too much, explaining too much, in order to fill the time, and unable to keep the participants engaged and moving throughout.

The current version can serve both teachers and students alike.

The purpose and inspiration is to be empowered to create and/or participate in classes that are rich with the development of physical skills and mind body integration.  And to be engaged both physically and mentally at any level.

The class will review and play with the underlying movement patterns inherent in the learned choreography.  We will build upon and layer our movement skills. We will review and depend on concepts to support our ability to create links and transitions from movement to movement; exercise to exercise, playing with multiple variations and choices and, time allowing share with each other what we discover along the way.
