About This Workshop

This comprehensive guide to rotation in the Pilates environment includes unique movement sequences for the Reformer, Chair, Trapeze Table, and Ladder Barrel. In some exercises Rotator Discs are used with each piece of equipment in order to create functional exercises that support activities of daily living. The Stability Sling is used in some Reformer exercises. Rotation of the pelvis and lumber spine, thoracic spine, and cervical spine is addressed along with rotation of the hips and shoulders. The workshop includes material appropriate for therapeutic applications, sports training, and dance technique. The exercises progress from non-weight bearing to partial weight bearing to full weight bearing, eventually standing on Rotator Discs. Some exercises are appropriate for clients who are preparing for hip replacement or knee replacement. Other exercises are appropriate for clients who have had hip replacement or knee replacement. The entire program has a goal of the improvement of gait. The workshop includes a teaching tutorial with focus on touch cues.

Great Class. Elizabeth Larkam took her time to explain each movement which helped in understanding the movement.

Ilana K

I was lucky enough to work with Elizabeth in person years ago, for my first Reformer certification. Being able to access her wealth of expertise – and sense of humor – virtually is a gift. Excellent detailed workshop with layer upon layer of information.

Susan S

Subtle and interesting work that will be fun to apply to classical pilates and gyrotonic students. I will have to practice it often to fully understand its application to daily life. Elizabeth is a great presenter.

Claire T

Very thorough guide with good tips added. It would be great to have a key summary script that could be downloaded to support the videos.
