About This Workshop
In these demanding and stressful times, as clients progress they might evolve towards an exercise routine that increases in strain and repetition but that is low in deepening body control and awareness. This workshop provides clients with an environment that instills deep core engagement and crossed muscle chain activation. Advanced (and beginner) exercises are done on the Cadillac, reformer, ladder barrel and mat in conjunction with rollers and rotator discs.
Increase your teaching skills by learning to recognize deep core muscle engagement versus superficial muscle engagement in the client’s performance. In other words, spot the cheaters! Learn exercises that encourage deep recruitment to help your clients achieve successful movement outcomes.
Adjustable for all populations. The crossed chain work can be useful for scoliosis, the deep core work can be beneficial for fragile conditions and the advanced repertoire can challenge dancers and athletes.
This workshop offers an in depth look at valuable repertoire that Ann has developed through years of working with the general (and fragile) population and with elite athletes.
Concepts & Techniques
- Combining the beauty and lightness of full range movement with the command of deep core commitment.
- Adjustable for various populations.
Objectives
- Teach clients to move fluidly through full body full range movement while maintaining deep core awareness and engagement
- Learn to teach progressions of advanced exercises inspired by the evolved and classical Pilates repertoire that is adapted to the needs of the general population and help achieve transfer of better posture and function in daily life
- Learn material on the Cadillac, reformer, mat and barrels that incorporates the small accessories like the full and half foam rollers and rotator discs.
- Initiation to myofascial concepts. Focus on deep anterior myofascial tissue and superficial myofascial tissue and their implication trough movement.

Just amazing
What a lovely presence Ann has. It has been such a pleasure to explore her very civilized and very very effective approaches to symmetrical engagement of the "core" as well as the crossed chains. So often our methods are of the heavy-handed, take-no-prisoners variety. Ann's techniques definitely leave no prisoners on the field, but in such a subtle, fine-tuned way that you don't realize your eyeballs are sweating until you've finished the exercise. Thank you. So much.
Very good!
Loved it! I have a few clients that will benefit from this work!
