Simplifying the Fundamentals of Pilates – on Zoom 

Saturday Sept 12th  1:00pm to 3:00pm  

2 CECs   $59.00 + GST 

This interactive  workshop is for Pilates instructors and Pilates enthusiasts. 

There can be so many details to teach or learn with each Pilates exercise. Teachers need to remember hundreds of cues and participants can get so lost in the details that they get frustrated  or forget to breathe!

Through discussion and movement exploration,  we will look at ways to simplify the basic skills of Pilates so we can cue less, and our participants can simply enjoy moving. 

As Joseph Pilates said "The magic of Pilates is in the movement"
