Description

The Taller with Age workshop offers techniques and exercises which will help you and your clients find space in the body in an effort to avoid compression and collapse over a lifetime. This workshop by Pilates Elder Mary Bowen is a link to the original work and also a testament to the ability of an instructor to keep developing and innovating the Pilates work to accommodate individual clients.

Objectives

Mary Bowen's interdisciplinary style of teaching, her master eye, her creative genius, and all around lovable and fun spirit shines throughout this workshop as she covers creative and effective movement on the Cadillac and the Wunda Chair. With every exercise Mary also references The Importance of the Yawn workshop (included) offering insight into how the Yawn initiates more space before the exercise begins. She also creates awareness inside the movements on how our psyche and emotions are coloring our movements and postures.

" It was wonderful to hear wisdom from a Pilates elder and to see Mary's approach. I certainly concur on the importance of releasing the spine and finding length as the basis for all one does. I also really enjoyed learning the chin exercise. "
