Fascia in Motion

Although the Pilates movement principles can be considered a subset of fascia oriented training, the design of fascia training programs in the Pilates environment requires new consideration of all elementsof Pilates program design. Research on fascia suggests new criteria for exercise sequencing, new choices of movement tempo and rhythm and different language for verbal cueing as well as clarification of the quality and direction of touch for tactile cues.

An overview of the current research and publications on fascia in motion prepares Pilates teachers to apply these findings to the practice and teaching of mat, reformer and studio sequences. This workshop includes client  case studies and exercise practice in the Pilates studio.
