About This Workshop
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.

Lesley is wonderful!! I really enjoy listening to her present
Thanks a lot Leslie. Great workshop. I learned a lot.
I Loved this information and will put it to good use.
Love these exercises! I've already had some great feedback from clients :)
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.
Very informative
Loved the addition of the Laban, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Irene Dowd work to Pilates with Lesley. That was my very beginning Pilates training and I loved having those influences to my Pilates work. I would like to have some reference to the level of springs used in the workshop.
Valuable topic, but perhaps harder than some to convey via video. Found myself taking LP's word for much of what was happening/what should or should not be happening (not that I had any reason to doubt her).
great course
