Description

Mr. Pilates’ opened his treatise, Return to Life, with the bold proclamation; “Civilization imparts physical fitness”. That statement rings even mores true in our current 21st century culture of technology, and we are seeing an endemic rise in the range of imbalances in the head & neck. Let’s spend time together reviewing the relevant anatomy of this region, and then exploring historical but not often taught nor seen exercises designed to strengthen & stretch the neck & head. Explore the Neck Stretcher, Magic Circle, exercises on the Push Through & Roll Back bars on the Cadillac, and the Wunda Chair. Review common exercise technique regressions, variations & omissions.

-Objectives:

- Feel more comfortable working with Head & Neck protocols
-Learn exercises to strengthen & stretch the neck & head.
-Review common exercise technique from the lenses of regression, variation & omission

Why should I take this workshop?
There can be a lot of fear in our industry on working with the head & neck, and it behooves us as teachers of the Pilates Method to be skilled and competent to work with the board range of bodies coming into the studio in our current culture of clicking, scrolling, Zooming, etc. Mr. Pilates’ gave us many unique exercises to address, stretch & strengthen the head & neck and we can employ them masterfully into our regular teaching. We will also review commonly used exercise technique on the Mat & Reformer to help design full sessions for these client populations.
