This workshop will go over the latest research surrounding Scoliosis and different therapy options.

We will analyze how to apply the evidence to our Pilates teaching.

This workshop on Pilates for spinal disc injuries covers anatomy, the role of movement in managing low back pain, and the importance of a positive approach.

Research shows that many spine issues aren’t necessarily correlated with pain and I give techniques for identifying pain-reducing movement preferences.

In this mini workshop I explain what the different kinds of scientific evidence are, and how we can make sure we are taking information from the highest quality studies possible.

Learn how to confidently teach prenatal Pilates with evidence-based guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). This workshop covers exercise safety, common myths, physiological changes, and practical strategies for modifying movements while keeping Pilates principles intact.

Learn how to ask your back pain clients a series of straight forward questions and rule out any medically serious causes for their pain.

Learn how to modify the way you teach Pilates in order to better serve clients who have Osteoporosis. This workshop covers the anatomy of Osteoporosis, risk factors, evidence based guideline care, movement contraindications, and tips on programming for this population.

Learn about basic strength training principles and how to apply them to your Pilates classes. Do this and give your clients all the benefits like decreased risk for certain diseases, better function, improved mental health and even 50% improved all cause mortality (less likely to die for any reason in the coming 10 years!).

This is some powerful stuff, and easier than you might think to add to the way we teach Pilates.❤️

In this workshop, we explored how to structure Pilates classes that respect the classical method while also integrating modern strength and health principles. We looked at the benefits of classical sequencing—like balanced movement and easy planning—and discussed where it might fall short in terms of strength adaptation.
Key points included:

- Strength training requires working close to fatigue, which often isn’t achieved in typical Pilates rep ranges.

- Organizing classes into clear blocks (warm-up, workout, cool-down) supports flow and focus.

- Programming should include all major movement patterns and positions, with efficient transitions.

- Functional movements and client priorities are key, especially in private or rehab-based sessions.

- Pilates can help meet physical activity guidelines if we intentionally include strength and cardio elements.

- The overall aim is to keep programming intentional, flexible, and aligned with both tradition and current evidence.

This workshop provides Pilates teachers with a science-based understanding of breast cancer recovery and how to support clients throughout treatment and beyond. It covers the basics of breast cancer, common treatments, and their physical and emotional side effects, such as fatigue, reduced mobility, and lymphoedema. The workshop highlights the evidence behind physical activity as both a preventative measure and a powerful tool for improving outcomes post-diagnosis, noting that only 8% of survivors meet recommended activity levels. You will learn how to apply current exercise guidelines and adapt Pilates programming to safely and effectively support this population. As Pilates teachers we can reduce barriers to movement and use Pilates as an accessible entry point to gradually rebuild strength. The workshop also includes a real-life case study to illustrate practical application and deepen understanding.
