Teaching Pilates Mat for Osteoporosis
Teaching Pilates Mat for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is one of the trickiest diagnoses to work with for a Pilates teacher since so much of Pilates, and especially Pilates mat, is in forward thoracic flexion which is completely contraindicated for people with low bone density. While it is quite easy to find existing Pilates exercises and modify some on the Pilates equipment (especially... 
Pilates for Golfers – A New Guide
Pilates for Golfers – A New Guide
Image via Wikipedia My friends at Pilates Digest have done it again (see my review of their Pilates Mat for Osteoporosis guidebook)! While there are several books, dvds, and Pilates teacher training courses geared towards Pilates for Golfers, to my mind nobody has yet come up with a clear, easy to understand book for PILATES TEACHERS that explains... 
Breathing and Pilates
Breathing and Pilates
Image via Wikipedia Something many people don’t realize is that deep proper breathing in itself is a basic primary abdominal/core exercise. When we inhale our diaphragm stretches down towards the abdominal cavity, the pelvic floor muscles relax a bit, and the abdominal and back muscles stretch to allow the ribcage to expand and the lungs... 
Pilates Integration
Pilates Integration
One of my former Pilates students, Jacqueline Au-Wallick, is now a successful Pilates teacher and just wrote a very interesting article, Are We Human or Are We Dancers? – On the Subject of Integration . One of my third-grader’s favourite pop songs is a great summary to this article. The chorus is “Are we human, or are we dancers?” I... 
Core Pilates in Atlanta, GA
Core Pilates in Atlanta, GA
I was recently researching Pilates studios in Atlanta, GA for a guest and came across Core Pilates & Gyrotonics . Now, I am not a huge fan of gyro (I am way too hypermobile for that kind of work; I use Pilates to help rein myself back into my center), but Core also happens to be the Power Pilates training center for Atlanta, which speaks to... 
Pilates Flash Drives
Corporate flash drive s, with your business name and logo prominently displayed, are a great low cost advertising investment for your Pilates studio. Only 10 years ago we were limited to pens, refrigerator magnets, and flimsy calendars; but now you can give a useful gift to your clients that they can reuse, give away, and that you can pre-load with... 
Pilates Can Make You Faster
Former Olympic swimmer Susie Thayer used to train like crazy for speed. “When I would swim six miles a day, I would go home and do 500 sit ups and 300 push ups. I had my own self-weight lifting system.” Now the 45 year old water irrigation specialist does Pilates, and wished she had known about it when she was competing. “It works... 
New Pilates Equipment!
New Pilates Equipment!
We have some new Pilates equipment in the studio at Parrot Cay and I for one am thrilled! When I first came to Parrot Cay in 2007 all I had to work with was one reformer and one wunda chair. I filled in with balls, rollers, magic circles, etc., but missed teaching duets on the equipment as well as having all the equipment at hand for teaching rehab... 
Dentists & Pilates
Some of my longest term most regular Pilates clients have been dentists, periodontists, and oral surgeons. There is something about being bent over people all ay doing small work with small sharp objects that leads to crazy neck, shoulder, and back pain that only Pilates and well-rounded fitness can fix. Whether you do dental implants Plano or are...
