About This Workshop

Join Wendy in this online Pilates workshop designed to explore a biointelligent view of “core” …as a whole body coordination …from your foot, leg, hand, arm and head to your “breathing spine”…along with a new, updated view of your Pilates “Powerhouse”, from an embodied perspective.

You will learn valuable “embodied touch” cues, and watch the model's body release old patterning that created tendonitis and plantar fasciitis, through valuable awareness building movements using a Pilates mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and High Barrel. We all know that listening to your body is so valuable, and now you will see profound changes as they happen.

In Pilates, we often teach that “core control” involves hardening the abdominals, which is like driving your car with the “parking brake” on...treating your body like a biomechanical machine to be trained and fixed.

When we learn to “yield” and “let go” into gravity’s support, we are no longer “doing something TO our body”. Instead, we are having a powerful “conversation WITH our body” that allows excess tension to release, your natural respiratory rhythm re-sets, and your body awakens to its biointelligent wisdom.

When we awaken to the embodied wisdom of our Biointelligent Body, we nurture a relationship with gravity and spatial orientation that is fundamental to knowing who we are, and where we are located in both our internal and external worlds. It is only through the physical body that we can experience this felt sense, which is “spatial medicine”.

I really enjoyed this workshop and Wendy the instructor was very clear on her explanations and demonstrations. I look forward to sharing and incorporating the lessons and concepts from this workshop with my clients. I love the concept of awakening our innate intuitive and mindful sense of our body. Experiencing our body as a whole system that is fluid and once we are aware of the different core centers and how it interrelates we are able to naturally move andstrengthen our different core systems. That's just great! Thank you.

Great course, thanks

Good information

I loved this workshop! I feel like I've broadened my idea's of movement and perception by watching and doing the exercises as Wendy was teaching them. It's such a wonderful tool for helping clients get "inside" their own bodies and recognizing their natural proprioception.

thank you!

Great workshop! I liked how the workshop worked with one individual (Elizabeth) throughout so you could see how her body responded. I liked how Wendy would teach an exercise to Elizabeth's needs and help her find the "just enough effort" to complete the exercise. And there are many more great take-aways. Thank you Wendy!

Wendy- thank you for such a wholesome workshop that provided a tangible and accessible way to begin new conversations with our bio-intelligent bodies. I appreciate the natural, respectful way you are approaching the body with curiosity and kindness. I find deep resonance with this way of being a "facilitator" supporting clients to discover new patterns (vs. teaching knowledge that is imposed). The 3 core connections imagery is practical and I am excited to share it with clients.

Great workshop.

Such an incredible information and way of re-thinking everything we think we know already. Thank you for a great workshop!

Very interesting workshop, I learned a lot, thank you very much. Anna

I so appreciate how Wendy connected the upper and lower body to core. Core coordination is so necessary in today's society. Personally, having suffered a tbi in 1995 with symptoms mocking a stroke-left side paralysis, I've felt the need to overcompensate for my weak side. Pilates has been the best way to rehab, moving from the middle. After attending much continuing education, I needed more evolved thinking when working with my body. Thank you Wendy-I will need to hear these words many time

Great to review my workshop for the special embodied movement projects I am working on. Big thanks to my client, Elizabeth, and to Angelo and Jennifer at Fusion, xx wendy

This is my first online course. I met Wendy in April and it was wonderful to have this opportunity to expound on what she shared in person, and to go further in depth than that weekend allowed. I enjoyed it, and have had good results with clients embodying movement...

Fabulous workshop!! Was super excited to see Wendy here on Fusion! Such a powerful way to think about how you move - being embodied. I believe this is what has been missing in my body for years! Cultivating a biointelligent body is going to take bodies to a new level! Thanks so much Wendy. Hope you come back for more workshops! Bonnie

Hello Fusion Pilates EDU and Wendy, thank you for filming this workshop - Cultivation the Biointelligent Body. Really enjoying to move under the perspective of "core coordination" rather than "core control" .... I studied with Wendy in her year-long mentoring program in 2016-2017. For me, the journey of "core coordination" perspective has just begun. This workshop helps me to live in my vision and sure I'll keep reviewing it. Thank you! xIris
