Breath as a Source in Pilates
June 23: 3:30-5:50pm
June 24: 3:30-5:30pm
This workshop will analyze the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the "breath as source" in Pilates training. Joseph Pilates said, "Before any real benefit can be derived from physical exercise, one must first learn how to breathe properly - this all important function requires individual instruction, not only by precept, but by example." With practice, we can use the breath to improve functional movement and create more efficient biomechanics. In addition, mental and emotional blocks related to certain movements can be released through better connection to how we breathe. By tapping into a deeper awareness of the breath, we help clients improve both steadiness and rhythm, as well as dynamic flow. Finally, we will learn how a focus on the "breath as source" can alter not only physical performance, but an overall feeling of comfort and joy in the class, in sessions, and in conscious daily living. |
