Welcome to the Body-Mind-Spirit Conference

PRE-CONFERENCE INTENSIVE - April 11

PEAK PILATES Barrel Basics Pre-Conference
1-Day Pre-Conference Intensive
April 11, 2007—8am to 5pm

Instructor: Colleen Glenn
Times: 8am-12pm and 1 - 5pm

Three different barrels were created with the primary purpose to correct spinal alignment and improve posture. They are the High Ladder Barrel, Semi-circle Barrel and the Spine Corrector. Generally, the barrel exercises achieve this with movements that open the chest, strengthen the Powehouse, lengthen the spine, increase flexibility in the hips and both assist and challenge leg alignment and placement. In this eight hour workshop you will learn the history of the barrels, the basic and beginner exercises, how to teach them and how to incorporate them successfully into programming. Spine Corrector small group classes ideas are also included. Get straight on the invaluable Pilates apparatus.

iConference FAQS

Class Selection is "real time", meaning that you are able to immediately see the selections that you have made for classes and print a confirmation of your class schedule. You can also log-in at any time and make changes to your schedule. CLASS SELECTION STARTS SEPTEMBER 1, 2006.

Catalogs will be mailed in September. If you would like a catalog sent to you, please enter your information in our guestbook on our home page.

Mail, Phone or Fax - When you mail, phone or fax your registrations they will be manually input in the order in which they arrive in our offices. Phone orders can be called in during Monday - Wednesday from 9am to 4pm PST. We recommend that you use our on-line system since this is the fastest way to guarantee your early placement in classes. THIS STARTS SEPTEMBER 1st.

Observation of Classes - Due to the size of rooms we do not have areas for class observation. It is our goal to make this a quality event with classrooms that are filled only to the maximum of allowed participants.

Equipment Classes - Class sessions with equipment will be filled as follows: Three students per reformer, spine corrector, ladder barrel, chairs, and wall-units/towers. Four per piece of Gyrotonic® equipment.

Workout Classes - Morning & Evening "workout" sessions (Sessions 1 & 4) will be limited to one equipment "workout" per attendee during the 3-day conference. This way everyone should have a chance to experience an equipment "workout". There are plenty of floor work classes being offered but only so much equipment available. You can attend any "workshop" equipment sessions (Sessions 2 & 3) during the conference. Please understand that your schedule will be adjusted if you sign up for more than one equipment workout session.

Class Schedules - Please be aware that once you register there is no guarantee that there will be availability in specific classes. Classes are filled on a "first come, first serve" basis. This especially applies to individuals that sign-up in the few months prior to the conference with the expectation of getting a specific class. We have a selection of over 250 classes, so there are plenty of great classes and wonderful presenters to choose from.

Cancelled Class Policy - Occasionally there is a situation where a class must be moved to a different time, day or cancelled altogether. We will do our best to notify attendees in advance of these changes. We will post changes on our website so attendees will be aware and able to make the appropriate changes to their schedules.
