What's New In 2009

Fall Leaves

"The mind, when housed within a healthful body, possesses a glorious sense of power." Joseph Pilates

 As teachers, it is our goal to help our clients make the connection between the Mind, Body and Spirit.  This is also the intention of the Body-Mind-Spirit Conference....to create inspiration in your daily teaching skills and to help you personally connect with yourself and others!
        The 2009 event is filled with new presenters, a brand new Expo and new technology!  This year your registration will include breakfast and lunch to help you save on travel expenses.  New presenters include:  Eric Franklin
, Lisa Marie Goodwin-Rice, Rael Isacowitz Marika Molnar, Donna Oliver, Mari Winsor, and several others.  Keynote speakers this year include John Garey from Stott Pilates addressing the Fitness Professional registrants and Mari Winsor, who will be welcoming our Beginner registrants.  Additionally, special lunch functions will be organized to create opportunities to network and spend time with your favorite presenters.  In keeping with new technology, you will also have the opportunity to attend the conference via the Internet when you register to attend through our webcast during the 30 days following the event.
        In the exhibit hall, we've created a brand new event called the Live Healthy Expo with over 100 exhibits and pavilions to expand our awareness of how to achieve a healthier, more balanced life style.
        I encourage each of you to take the time to take time off and attend the conference!  It will motivate, inspire and renew your teaching skills.  You will enjoy every minute!      Renee Monroe, Conference Director

Body Whole Pre-Conference

JenniferHow we focus our attention on the body gives the teacher information about what movement potential is available for that person and how we will approach working with them.  Our choices may be limited or unrestricted. What are the choices? How do you choose the starting point and what direction does the flow of the session go? Even if a teacher is following a traditional sequence, within that sequence are choices to enhance the movement potential within that system. The answers arrive from a balance between the understanding of the body that includes a knowledge base of kinesiology, the process of sense and perception and the movement system we are teaching.  Pre-Conference created by Madeline Black.

Franklin Method Pre-Conference

Eric Franklin, creator of the Franklin Method

"The Franklin Method makes you fit for life."  Eric Franklin  

This year we are fortunate to have Eric Franklin, the creator of the Franklin Method, teaching a pre-conference, a Franklin update and main conference classes. 
        The Franklin Method teaches the practical elements of body design, emphasizing imagery for maximum efficiency. Body posture and movement are imagery driven, and if the image doesn't correspond to the way the body is designed, the result will be a steady decline in function. By contrast, the best way to improve function is to start with an image that corresponds to how the body is designed.
        The Franklin Method is the cutting edge among movement professionals, used and acclaimed by The Royal Ballet School London, the Juilliard School of Arts New York, the Music Conservatory of Vienna, world-class athletes and dancers. They are also a mainstay for practitioners of Pilates, Yoga, fitness and physical therapy.

Polestar's Approach to Rotational Sports

Angela Crowley of Gyrotonic

  • Polestar's Approach to Rotational Sports

    INSTRUCTOR: 
    Brent Anderson, PHD, PT, OCS

    Thursday, April 16 - 8am to 5pm

    Many sports involve rotation and repetitive movements that can result in overuse injuries.  A few examples include golf, tennis and hockey.  Athletes of these sports can commonly develop imbalances and injuries - the effects can range from impaired performance to a sidelined athlete.

    Polestar Education's Rotational Sports course teaches Pilates practitioners to incorporate Pilates exercises into the training/rehabilitation sessions of these athletes to develop greater stability, core control and range of motion while decreasing fatigue, injuries and biomechanical issues.
