Why should I take this session?

As Pilates instructors we work with people who have all kinds of muscle imbalances whether structural or caused by life. It is important to be able to see and address these imbalances with confidence. The more you understand the pathology of the client the easier it is to meet their needs. Less is more. Knowledge is power.

Equipment Needed: You can watch and take notes and then use the recording to try the exercises on your equipment or you can be in your studio and use whatever equipment you have during the live session. Great idea to have some various pads/cushions.

Credits: 3 CECs
