Feedback on Anatomy Through Movement by Stephanie Herman

" Stephanie Herman did an excellent job explaining how our bones and muscles work together. We usually put more emphasis on just muscles and this workshop is a great reminder of the importance of the skeletal system too. I enjoyed learning from her and her model Toby was great too. Very relatable. Thank you! "

Jean T

" I enjoyed the top-down approach of assessing and correcting form and movement. "

Kaitlyn V

" Found this workshop very helpful and some great reminders of the body, anatomy, functional movement etc. Thank you! "

Shannon S

" It was nice to have functional tasks dissected down into bone rhythms and parts and then built back up, it helps the learner to re-program faulty patterns and come out with more fluid movement and a better understanding of how their body moves through space. "

Amanda S

" great content with easy to apply with clients. "

Marna W

" Stephanie Herman's insight on movement was very interesting, I enjoyed her awareness provoking movement sequences. "

Lara G

" As a new Pilates Instructor, I found the information to be useful and practical. It is a great way to deepen your knowledge of anatomy by connecting the bones and muscles to their associated fuctional movement. And Stephanie's teaching style is approachable and human which makes the information easier to grasp and learn. "

Nancy A

" Great workshop! I really enjoyed all the functional application to walking and gait. It reaffirmed what I already teach to my clients as well as gave me some new ideas and images to use moving forward. Thank you! "

Carrie S

" Excellent Workshop, I really enjoyed it "

Michelle L

" Thank you for this workshop. I have been teaching my clients these bone rhythms, but you shared a few approaches I had not thought about. Like, replicating the hoof exercise from the core align by presses the thighs against the ladder barrel. Great! "

Jennifer L

" Excellent workshop "

Kelly H

" This was an interesting workshop , many creative ways to build more 'core awareness and connection', in harmony with building more awareness of bone rhytms. Nice ways to translate this awareness into 'moving through space' and the gait cycle. "

Lieve V

" Anatomy Through Movement was helpful (exercises and visual slides) in gaining a better understanding of bone, then muscle movement and activation of the muscles via isolation w/out compensation. The way Stephanie transitioned from the initial basic exercise to each progression to see where compensations might occur was good. "

Stacey G

" The workshop is very informative and covered well! "

Katherine P

" Great course -loved that Stephanie follows her intuition - really felt like I was in the priveledged position of fly on wall in a session. Clear and easy to follow - thank you "

Bonk T

" Thank you so much Stephanie for the wonderful workshop! As a former professional dancer and NPCP Certified Pilates Instructor it was great to go back to basics. "

Julie R

" Stephanie's depth of knowledge and clear explanations help to move your body with ease. Great presentation and a terrific perspective on movement. "

Cynthia B

" Very helpful to think of working from the skeletal system first. It can help to minimize the tension that many clients bring to their movement when only thinking of muscles working first. Thank you Stephanie. "

Tess W

" I appreciate the model is an actual student. I have found the standing material to be helpful for some older clients with balance and enjoy the way you built up the concepts. "
