Description

You’ve heard of lifespan, but what about healthspan? In this workshop, you’ll learn how the Pilates principles can assist in providing a healthy, active, and long life; rather than one lived in fear of falling or being bedridden.

As we age, our bodies naturally require a little more attention. This workshop from Sylvia Byrd-Leitner takes you through a myriad of exercises to help keep your body strong, your balance stable, and your mind active. From grip strength, core work, and balance to gait, spinal mobilizations, and breathwork, this workshop covers everything from the ground up and the inside out.

Ready to help your clients live their best, strongest, and longest life? Healthspan: Vitality Through The Ages is an informative, thorough, and inspiring workshop that will help you do just that.
