From Outdated to Updated: Cueing, Connections and Kinesiology
Nov
16
10:00 AM10:00

From Outdated to Updated: Cueing, Connections and Kinesiology

Join the 2 Pilates Chicks LiVE on Zoom!

We want to help teachers come back to the basics, thinking about what we are asking the client to do. Simply state what we want the client to do without using memorized and outdated cues. Learn how the exercises affect the anatomy in movement to more accurately cue what is needing to happen in each exercise.

What are we asking the client to do?

What is anatomically occurring in the exercise: anatomy in motion?

What is the client potentially missing, and what simple direction might help them achieve it?

In this workshop you will learn to :

  • Simplify the practice of cueing to become more efficient and effective.

  • Eliminate outdated cues that have become popular jargon.

  • Understand the purpose of an exercise in order to cue accurately. 

  • Increase awareness of anatomy in motion, how the body moves throughout an exercise to find cues that are not unintentionally counteracting what is occurring in the movement. (ex looking down in extension)

  • Increase awareness of common cues that are either inappropriate, ineffective, or harmful.

Prerequisites: Open to all Pilates teachers who have completed 450 hours of Pilates teacher training. Students still in a Teacher Training Program can attend workshop with written approval from the Director of their Training Program.

A Zoom link will be sent and the recording available for 30 days

4 CEC’s available

Cost: $150

Venmo and Zelle payments are accepted please contact
