Description

Join Lesley Powell in a transformative exploration of the hand anatomy and its correlation with the radius, ulna, humerus, scapula, and core. Elevate your Pilates practice and cue clients into a better understanding and awareness of scapular placement, which will improve overall biomechanics.

Gain insight into the placement of the hand during both open and closed-chain movements, and its profound impact on the body's mechanics. This knowledge is then applied to a wide range of Pilates exercises, creating a dynamic understanding of the shoulder complex and its role in embodied movement and performance.

Feedback on Hand It to Me: Connecting to the Core by Lesley Powell

" Great workshop; Lesley's knowledge and explanations are very clear. Terrific information for teachers. "

Cynthia B

" Lesley is wonderful!! I really enjoy listening to her present "

Jackie W

" Love these exercises! I've already had some great feedback from clients :) "

Stephanie W

" It was wonderful to see and feel how a simple movement of the hand and wrist can be so challenging. We are always thinking about all the big muscle groups, and we often forget the importance of the small ones, the ones that are used every single day are on our routines. We should give the same attention. "
