Madeline Black, Joerg Chabowski, Debra Schubert and Jean
Sullivan. The three day intensive will be an in-depth learning

Essential Exercises are the building blocks for accessing healthy
movement patterns that create change in posture, function and pain.
It is a powerful teaching tool for beginners to understand how to
move from the central place where we begin to move from. As a
teacher, the Essential Exercises makes teaching the inner workings
of the body accessible and 
easy
for your clients to feel. Whether you teach Pilates, Gyrotonic or
Yoga, you will discover a direct path in teaching the central
essence of the body in movement. Essential Exercises is a required
course for entry to any of the ITT Pilates certification
tracks.
