athletic conditioning on stability cushions - NEW!
Discover a new and intensive core training workout featuring the Stability Cushions. Controlling instability with a pair of cushioned disks requires activation of the stabilizing muscles of the torso, shoulders and hips. Exercises are designed to illicit greater proprioceptive awareness and recruit the deep support systems of the whole body while developing greater co-ordination and control. Discover a new facet to Matwork programs that increase body awareness and core stability in movements that bridge the gap between simple core training routines and functional movement patterns necessary in athletic conditioning.

muscular strength and endurance FOR TEENS - new

ADVANCED POSTURAL ANALYSIS**
This 3 hour lecture-demonstration workshop will help participants develop a greater depth of understanding of the information that can be learned from postural analysis. We will go beyond the basics and examine the interconnections between regions of the body, and possible issues associated with each sign noted in a Postual Analysis. Specific Pilates exercises and programming pertaining to the findings will be discussed throughout the workshop. Participants must have taken an essential level anatomy and postural analysis prior to enrollment. Pilates experience highly recommended.

advanced cervical spine stabilization**
This practical workshop is designed to give participants an in-depth understanding of the bones, articulations, muscular forces and biomechanics of the cervical spine. Participants will develop the logic and problem solving skills to effectively use props and modifications for safely teaching clients with cervical spine issues.
Participants will:
1. develop a thorough understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the cervical spine;
2. develop a thorough understanding of normal biomechanics and movements of the cervical spine;
3. develop understanding of conditions of the cervical spine, and how common pathologies present in terms of symptoms and signs. Participants will learn what symptoms indicate serious pathologies which are not appropriate for Pilates;
4. develop problem solving skills for working safely with clients with cervical spine problems;
5. learn progressions for developing dynamic stability and strength for sport and daily activities


**NOTE: The Advanced Postural Analysis and Advanced Cervical Spine are worth STOTT PILATES CECs; however, you will receive a maximum of .2 CECs whether you take just one or both workshops.

The knee: stability and function
This lecture/demo will explore the anatomy and biomechanics involved in the normal healthy functioning of the knee, some of the interruptions that can occur and exercise progressions to restore function, prepare for specific activities and enhance performance. First, the available movements and functioning of the knee are explored, and then common abnormal or dysfunctional movement patterns are addressed. Finally, exercise progressions that can be used to rebuild normal muscle action and movement patterning are outlined as well as knee joint exercise that can challenge and promote optimal performance. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: * Understand optimal function and movement patterns of the knee joint. * Review anatomy and muscular involvement. * Understand common dysfunctions. * Learn exercises and progressions to optimize knee joint function.

The lumbo-pelvic region: stability and function
This lecture explores the anatomy and biomechanics involved in the normal healthy functioning of the lumbo-pelvic region, some of the interruptions that can occur to the ideal functioning of this area and exercise progressions to restore function, prepare for specific activities and enhance performance. First, the available movements and functioning of the lumbo-pelvic region are explored considering the lumbar, the pelvis, the hip and surrounding musculature. Common abnormal or dysfunctional movement patterns and postures are addressed. Finally, exercise progressions that can be used to rebuild normal muscle action and movement patterning are outlined, as well as exercises that can challenge and promote optimal performance.
