“Your course has so enriched my sense of the fascial system. I’d been trying to read Myer’s book and I took a long course with Madeline Black during Covid. Perhaps it was the visuals with the layering of the fascial constructs or getting the conceptual information with the movement, but I’ve been teaching with this new sense all week, and I feel what I’m giving my clients – all older with issues – has helped in a deeper way.”
With much appreciation,

Do you know that teaching with the fascial system provides Pilates instructors a unique advantage? Research shows that fascial lines, slings and systems create more strength than with muscle tone by itself. Learn about the nature of fascia and how teaching with fascial intent drives efficiency, effectiveness and quality into all our exercises. Teachers will learn not only the anatomy, its importance from womb to birth to adulthood, but also the compensatory patterns that can hinder our improvement. Learn access and decompression methods for these compensatory lines and slings. Pre-activation of fascial lines gives stability to movement. Learn strategies of pre-activation through fascial tensioning of core, spine and extremities. Come away with a new understanding of how the pre-activation in mat work will help your client successfully participate in Pilates without injury. All active people can use this course.
