Excellent
Well thought-out workshop and great exercise demo.
Great workshop!
Wonderful workshop. I met Joy at Pilates on tour and think she is a brilliant teacher combining science and movement. I have recently had an breast implant explantation surgery and took this workshop to help myself feel confident in my recovery journey. the information was really well organized, presented, and it is so important to keep the tissues, fascia and cells nourished with gentle, focused movement pre operation and diagnosis. looking forward to practicing and taking the other workshops
I deeply understood that all of the movements should be connected to the breathing, getting along with the rib cage, scapulae, and spine... not only focusing on the arm movements.That’s the way the body should be, and that’s the best way to heal client’s body, mind, and soul. I also like the way she is cuddling up to the clients who have been facing cancer. I felt it a lot in WS. I believe that is another very important component to share the moment with clients. Thanks for Great WS!
Excellent Workshop. Thank you so much! I appreciate the medical knowledge along with the exercises. The passion behind your work is contagious.
The workshop was very informative.
Really great, organized, thorough workshop. Would definitely take more classes with Joy.
loved the workshop !! very helpful and informative !!
Good course! I'm a physical therapist and pilates instructor with a special interest in treating this population and love how rehab and training has evolved. Thanks so much for your contributions and education - I learned today. :)
Amazing workshop
Great workshop!
I really enjoyed this workshop and found it very helpful, informative and detailed. Thank you Joy Puleo.
In one word, this workshop was lovely... I have been teaching Pilates for 20 years and was diagnosed with breast cancer one year ago. I had a bilateral mastectomy with no reconstruction and thankfully, no chemo or radiation. These exercises and movement progressions will be very useful in teaching my clients as well as in my own post-surgical Pilates practice so thank you!
Excellent workshop.
Great Course!
Excellent workshop...
Great information and handout. I am a Gyrotonic instructor in addition to Pilates and I saw the theory of Gyrotonic at play here as well. Joy's cueing is clear and she's precise. I look forward to implementing the material and beginning a dialogue on the Forum soon.I recommend this course to others looking for an introduction into how to work with post-surgical breast cancer clients.
wonderful
fabulous course
The PDF slides are a great tool and insights into breast cancer provided, exercises progressions are very useful. Thank you
Joy, I took your 3 hr workshop, Breast Cancer: Training to Heal, at POT Chicago in 2015. You mentioned that you were working on an extended workshop and I'm so glad to have just completed that workshop. The information and exercises along with progressions was so well presented. Thank you so much for your work (and to those you credited as well) on this excellent workshop. I will watch it over and over and explore this work with my clients who are healing from breast cancer.
I was simply inspired by Joy Puleo. I felt I was taking her live session, which usually won't happen and I can't concentrate during online course. I like to take all those knowledge that I got from her to try out somehow. And I like to take more courses from her in the future. Thank you very much.
Wonderful series Joy. Thank you so very much! Well articulated, easy to comprehend. Blessings.
Very helpfull and informative workshop. Thank you for the tools!
