Learn from the world's top master teachers of Pilates, Gyrotonic®, Feldenkrais and more.  Create your educational foundation and continue your learning at the  Body Mind Spirit Conference. . .

Description:  This workshop focuses on the application of imagery exercises to increase the balance, alignment and flexibility of the joints, ligaments, muscles and organs of the pelvis. All these systems need to interact dynamically to create power and balance in the core.

This, in turn, will increase the safety of the lower back, knees and feet. Sacral balance is key to the alignment of the spine and legs. We will experience how the sacrum actually moves as a key to understanding proper cueing for Pilates, dance, Yoga and any other movement discipline.

Throughout the workshop imagery and language is used that explains the
complex subject matter at all levels of experience. Through the evolutionary logic this workshop will provide a fresh understanding of anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvis. The participants will leave the workshop with a sense of aligned strength through the pelvic floor, the feet firmly balanced and the spine long and buoyant.
