Back To Life: A movement Experience With Mind Treatment

Brief description: The philosophy behind the techniques offered in this workshop has as much to do with how one feels emotionally, what one thinks, and the way one moves through the world as it does with the muscles and bones in the body. Ultimately, these feelings can translate into body pain, misalignment, poor posture, and many other ailments. The students will learn how to combine two successful techniques in working with clients, or themselves. The first method focuses on treating the emotional source of the problem through questionnaire and self examination. Then, we will incorporate Pilate’s movements with the mental awareness that creates a total “mind, Body, and Spirit” experience.

The course objective is to give the Pilates practitioner new insight into the emotional and mental possibilities behind certain physical problems or conditions, and use their findings to better treat the client. By incorporating Pilates with emotional understanding and healthy thought, the clients will:
Get rid unwanted pain
Feel better about their bodies and their lives
Lose inches, strengthen their bodies
Make healthier choices
Manage sanity in the most stressful of times
Manage their stress so that it does not go into their bodies
