During this workshop we will be adding rotation of the shoulders, spine & hips to 22 Pilates exercises using the Trapeze Table, Spine Corrector, Reformer, Ladder Barrel, Chair & Mat. Each exercise will be demonstrated and taught accompanied with the do’s and don’ts along with its purpose and teaching points.

Adding rotation to your workout will increase mobility and strength through the joints, better functional movement, increased performance in sports, decrease in tension and an increase in feeling centred and energised.
This workshop is suitable for any instructor who is looking for new ideas and inspiration and is interested in exploring ways of taking Pilates exercises and becoming creative in adding props / toys to help challenge their client deeper.
