Description
Join Wendy in this online Pilates workshop designed to explore a biointelligent view of “core” …as a whole body coordination …from your foot, leg, hand, arm and head to your “breathing spine”…along with a new, updated view of your Pilates “Powerhouse”, from an embodied perspective.
You will learn valuable “embodied touch” cues, and watch the model's body release old patterning that created tendonitis and plantar fasciitis, through valuable awareness building movements using a Pilates mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and High Barrel. We all know that listening to your body is so valuable, and now you will see profound changes as they happen.
In Pilates, we often teach that “core control” involves hardening the abdominals, which is like driving your car with the “parking brake” on...treating your body like a biomechanical machine to be trained and fixed.
When we learn to “yield” and “let go” into gravity’s support, we are no longer “doing something TO our body”. Instead, we are having a powerful “conversation WITH our body” that allows excess tension to release, your natural respiratory rhythm re-sets, and your body awakens to its biointelligent wisdom.
When we awaken to the embodied wisdom of our Biointelligent Body, we nurture a relationship with gravity and spatial orientation that is fundamental to knowing who we are, and where we are located in both our internal and external worlds. It is only through the physical body that we can experience this felt sense, which is “spatial medicine”.
Objectives
- Learn awarenesses and skills that will enable you to access your biointelligent wisdom
- Discover “Embodied Touch” cues that are grounding and centering for both client and practitioner
- Discover your "Domes of Uplift" within your body's central channel

" Absolutely amazing "
Dana Arnold A
" I loved this workshop! I feel like I've broadened my idea's of movement and perception by watching and doing the exercises as Wendy was teaching them. It's such a wonderful tool for helping clients get "inside" their own bodies and recognizing their natural proprioception. "

" Great workshop! I liked how the workshop worked with one individual (Elizabeth) throughout so you could see how her body responded. I liked how Wendy would teach an exercise to Elizabeth's needs and help her find the "just enough effort" to complete the exercise. And there are many more great take-aways. Thank you Wendy! "

" This is my first online course. I met Wendy in April and it was wonderful to have this opportunity to expound on what she shared in person, and to go further in depth than that weekend allowed. I enjoyed it, and have had good results with clients embodying movement... "

" Fabulous workshop!! Was super excited to see Wendy here on Fusion! Such a powerful way to think about how you move - being embodied. I believe this is what has been missing in my body for years! Cultivating a biointelligent body is going to take bodies to a new level! Thanks so much Wendy. Hope you come back for more workshops! Bonnie "
