OVERVIEW
Pilates is famously known for working the "Powerhouse" - the area from the diaphragm to the pelvic floor. Joseph Pilates emphasized this area of the body - all Pilates exercises start in the powerhouse! Powerhouse muscles work together to stabilize the body and give the big movements we make their strength and balance. Understanding this important region of the body will allow you to train it more effectively for greater results. In this workshop led by local anatomy and movement expert Russ Pfeiffer, we'll dive into the major muscles and parts of this important region, how they function, how to train them, and everyday applications to Pilates.
This workshop is open to everyone - Pilates Pros and Pilates Lovers. Space is limited so reserve today!
