The Fusion Intensive Program

The Fusion Intensive Program

These series of courses will deepen your understanding of the work and will open your eyes to the art form that Pilates can be. You will come to understand that it's not what you teach, but why you teach it.

Our clients come to us to help solve the problems they hold in their bodies. These problems are often too complicated for the 'same old routine.' This is when we need the skills to incorporate a more holistic view of the body. In this way we can help to further our clients' progress as well as expand our toolkit to adapt a more creative, expansive body of work for ourselves.

These intensive courses will help you work outside the box and go beyond the Hundreds to get a better understanding of WHY you are leading your clients through specific choreography, and more importantly how you can modify, adapt, and further see the gaps in their care to bring them into a more balanced body and mind.

Learn real life applications of creative Pilates techniques to take your teaching to the next level with the goal of further servicing your clients of varied populations. And to be able to extend and help anyone who walks through your studio door seeking a new way to live and move.

Prerequisites

Creative Cueing and Sequencing

Learn to cue with imagery, creativity and theme.

Painting a picture with words can illuminate and animate the senses. It calls the body and the mind to attention, and into focus. When you cue with vision, image and theme you start to tell the body a story, and the body responds. It starts to buzz. And if you tell it the right story you can get parts of the body that have been dormant for years to suddenly start hearing, talking, tasting and touching.

Creative cueing incites a journey instead of a destination and helps to bring about a multi-dimensional, multi-faceted awareness of the body. The use of creative cueing brings a level of clarity and expertise that elevates a session from great... to life changing.

Body Braille™

Learn to use all of your senses to read your client's body in order to make quick and accurate assessments of what the client needs.

The body can tell you the history of a client if you have the skill to know how to read it. By looking at the body more holistically, we can help our clients to move forward with ease and strength. Each function of the body has an action and reaction. By helping to string together these pieces of the story, real metamorphosis starts to emerge. By looking at bony alignment, facial integrity, and muscle chain of command we can usher the body into balance and harmony.

The Pelvic Network

The human pelvis is a complex structure uniting bone, musculature, connective tissue, as well as our ever important viscera. The pelvic floor musculature is just the beginning in understanding this network as a whole. In this workshop, we will delve into the importance of this plexus in the body as well as how it works, its ability to bring the body into alignment, and also how to cue the musculature into action through the breath. This in depth look into the "core" of the core will give you a full understanding of how your pelvis can work in concert with the whole of the body, as well as bring healing to various pelvic floor disorders.

Through up to date anatomy, complex cueing, and a thorough understanding of body physics, you will be able to bring depth and meaning to your mat classes.

Advanced Reformer Training

Cultivate a new understanding of why the Pilates reformer work is so popular and how we can make it even more effective. By looking beyond the traditional spring settings and set ups, we will dive into a new way to move and communicate with this equipment. We will be infusing the the work with current movement theory, as well as in depth cueing to usher our clients (and ourselves!) into a dance with the Piilates reformer.

The Teacher/Client Conversation

Bar none, the most important part of a session is the ongoing communication between client and teacher. Without a steady, balanced flow it is impossible for the client to progress or to be supported on various levels during the session. The ability to create a "call and response" with your client will bring the work you do to a new level of effectiveness and will also fully assist your client during their movement education.
