More Details
Animal Body: Insect
The Insect themed Mat workshop is to inspire movement and sequencing that creates a deep sense of where we radiate and draw power from. The focus and choreography leads us to progressive and layered work in the seat of our upper core ( ribcage) and our lower core ( pelvis). This synchronizes the power in our center so that we can move our limbs with the fullest expression. The main workout is challenging, fun, fluid and fast paced. After the main workout, we have a Let's Discuss section to refine the movements and cues so that you as the teacher know exactly how to break down and translate the exercise to your client. Every workshop includes a release class just for that theme. You will learn a ton of fun, creative and effective release sequencing to pair with this workout.
Modifications are given so this can be done with beginners. There are many sections of the workout and release class that can be done with a therapeutic client. Because the work is layered it can serve a number of different populations and levels.
Animal Body: Fish
The Fish themed mat workshop is to inspire movement and sequencing for you and your clients that explores the diagonals, undulations, and spirals that the human body is built around. The workout is meant to cross train and give many vectors of movement so that one can be a better shape shifter. It is built for the client that does the same thing with there body day in and day out: whether that be sitting, working on your feet, or long distance running. The main workout is challenging, fun, fluid and fast paced. After every main workout, we have a Let's Discuss to refine the movements and the cues so you as the teacher know exactly how to break down and translate the exercise to your client. Every workshop includes a release class just for that theme. Here we have the Fish Catch and Release class. You will learn a ton of fun and effective release sequencing to pair with this workout.

Good class but I think the description could be better
Natalie W
These were fun and I have enjoyed using some in the class
Catherine Moye
Excellent workshop. Enjoyed the spirals and the side bodywork- areas that are often underused. Loved the fascial focus, undulations, and dives and spring like motions. Incited the body into fluid movement- a true orchestration of mind and body. Challenging plank variations to end. FUN!
Erik R
Excellent course! Very fluid and very fun way to link exercises.
Jennifer L
I really enjoyed the fish class and can see myself incorporating these exercises into my routines. Very much appreciate the discussion part and the breakdown of family groups and moves. Thanks again for an informative workshop!
Marie-France G
interesting
Amy P
Always love Jen\'s creativity and cueing.
Tania H
Thank you. Love the release work.
Phyllis G M
Loved the \"catch & release\" session because it is what I primarily focus on with my clients/students when we do our myofascial release work.
Samantha C
Loved it! Feel great!
LeVonne W
Thank you for the adding the discussion part of the class. That was very helpful to be able to teach the concepts to my clients.
Katherine D
Looking forward to taking these creative movement options into my next mat class.
Elizabeth Y
This workshop was everything it said it would be: creative, detailed, and thorough. I would have appreciated now and then a few modifications for common problems/issues with clients, such as shoulder impingements limiting arms overhead movements, and lumbar instability or lack of mobility. Thanks!
Jona B
I appreciated the fun factor. Wonderful energy.
Amy B
What a positive and playful spin on traditional mat work! Jennifer and her students are beaming with joy and the benefits of this challenging practice.
MICHELE R
Loved this class! So very creative , especially using the props at the end to open up the fascial body
NAOMI F
great workshop as always!
Patti P
Loved the variations to each exercise.
Alana K
Really enjoyed the visualizations of this workshop to help cue the body to work appropriately in the exercises.
jim E
Interesting workshop!
wendy hamelin h
great info. love the animal themes.
Kendra C
These moves were a great interpretation of the normal Pilates choreography. Please include some other release work, in the release section, without needing to use props.
Erik R
Great course. Enjoyed it more this time as it was my second animal workshop. Lots of fun things to add to my current classes!
Marie-France G
Some of the exercise were difficult and may be difficult to apply with the type of clients I have, which are women in their 60\'s. But still new trick and new variations were fun to learn. Thanks!
Jennifer L
I have never taken an on-line workshop before. This was extremely comprehensive and thorough - Jennifer has a wonderful way of teaching. Look forward to incorporating these exercises into my classes. Thank you
Amy P
It is always a pleasure to learn from you. Thank you for sharing these workshops during this challenging time. God bless.
Tania H
Thanks. Interesting movements
Natalie W
I am glad that I have forever access. I have enjoyed using some of these exercises in making the sessions a little different over zoom.
Phyllis G M
I loved the workshop and especially Session 4 which was the Insect Release Class. I learned so many moves that I can use with my clients and students during myofascial release work.
Samantha C
This was a solid course. It’s so important to break up our daily movement patterns and infuse the body with a new movement sequences which this course certainly achieved. Anticipating sharing with clients!
Amy B
I love Pilates, Yoga and myofascial release. This is a great combination of all three!
Patti P
Great Class. Very thorough in the instruction. Takes time to describe each exercise. I especially liked the modification on the stool.
Jackie R
Being Ron Fletcher certified, I loved the similarity, yet very un-classicalapproach to some familiar and unfamiliar movements. A great challenge and helpful tool for use!
Alana K
Was slower paced than anticipated, but interesting new concepts to incorporate.
Kendra C
This was a fantastic twist on traditional Pilates exercises. I would have enjoyed a few more variations on the exercises. Additionally, since I teach in a group setting, the release work will be hard to execute since I do not have the tools required. So it would be helpful to know additionally means to create vibratory sensations. Thanks!
