Description
How do we impact “local problems” from a GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE? In this online Pilates workshop, you will see how Amy moves from “isolated sacral laxity” to “whole-body fascial integrity”, by developing a felt sense, with Wendy’s embodied coaching, of how to FREE THE SACRUM through the lens of EMBODIED BIOTENSEGRITY… the study of the tension-compression continuity within biological organisms
We are discovering “movement as bodywork”, a distinction that our body wisdom KNOWS as a conversation with whole-body awareness for CORE COHERENCE. When we “shift” from waiting to be “fixed” and told the “answer”…to instead being in the exploration of “what is working and what is missing”, we begin to be guided by our relationship with the natural world…our innate BIOTENSEGRITY BODY.
Studying and being in touch to ask questions, rather than just “reading” the handouts that accompany this course will open you to developing an embodied approach to your personal practice and teaching, and deepen your understanding of “fascial release through movement” as you practice along with Amy as she is learning to unravel an old, chronic pattern.
Learn, along with Amy:
- An Embodied approach to PILATES Bridge, Swan, Spine Stretch, Saw and more
- Discovering the Hamstrings “embryonic” relationship with uplift along the front of the spine
- Discovering how “soft ankles” release the sacrum and reorient the spine
- Cultivating how to use Stretch-eze Band and Theraband to “communicate” with your whole body CORE COHERENCE
- Discovering YOUR direct experience of the Fascial Dog Flow Series… an embodied practice where your feet and hands ROOT THROUGH THE GIRDLES to your “Breathing Spine”
- Developing an awareness of the two kinds of time in the body: Neurological Time and Connective Tissue Time
- Revealing how the body thinks in Polarities and Relationships
Objectives
- Shift your "contextual" experience of moving and teaching from a pieces and parts, body as machine to be trained and fixed, Biomechanical approach.....to body as a living process that KNOWS how to self-organize and adapt,
- Biointelligence/Biotensegrity approach
- Cultivate awareness of what is blocking Core Coherence to create a stable and mobile organism
- Move beyond a dissective "lines" approach to an Embryological fields approach, where the "back of the leg relates to the front of the spine"
Concepts & Techniques
- Shift your "contextual" experience of moving and teaching from a pieces and parts, body as machine to be trained and fixed, Biomechanical approach.....to your body as a living process that KNOWS how to self-organize and adapt, Biointelligence approach
- Discover how your SACRUM can discover its primal “polarity” relationship with internal lift when it discovers how to release into the gravitational field of BIOTENSEGRITY
- Cultivate awareness of “what is blocking” Core Coherence…what is in the way of creating a stable and mobile organism
- Move beyond a dissective "Lines" approach to an Embryological “Fields” approach, where the "back of the leg relates to the front of the spine"

Featured Student Feedback
Dana Arnold A
This is amazing work. I am a myofascial release therapist with my massage practice so this is so essential for movement. Id like to know where would I get one of those elastic bands Wendy was using? Thank you.
Liz F
This workshop was wonderful! Wendy offers so much information that is well explained and easy to follow along with. I love doing the fascial dog series while she talks through it. Her cues allow you to feel what's going on in the body so deeply and with so little effort. "Just enough" to feel crazy good in the body!
Zeina G
NIce course with applicable teaching style and great insight into what is happening in the body.
Jessica S
Great workshop, very insightful.. I especially enjoyed the discussion on context and core as relationship. Thank you!
ANNA O
It was an interesting concept well explained through movement.
Alexandra W
What a refreshing, different (to me) way of looking at the body/movement/Pilates; I really enjoyed the way Wendy looks at the inside/outside continuity of the body as a whole. Since it is a very new approach for me personally, I will have to watch the sessions again
Lieve V
It was so valuable to experience how a conscious choice of words, and an awarness of the (biomechanical) perspective one moves/teaches from, deepens the work. I appreciate a lot moving from a core, that is not a 'brace', but a self organising/breathing crosspoint of relationships and polarities.
Mischa D
Wonderful workshop. I learned tips and new concepts that I was able to immediately take into my teaching. I liked the format as well. The length of each section was manageable and allowed for breaks if needed. Thank you!
Michelle C
This was a fabulous workshop! Wendy's explanations and clear way of communicating are so helpful!
Fiona M
I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. It resonates with the way I teach and affirms the importance of biotensegrity, polarity and teaching others to notice what they feel and how they are working vs just going through the motions.Thank you!
Mallory H
I liked the layout in differences between Neurological consciousness and connective tissue consciousness.
Michele B
Wonderful insight and easy to follow
Donna S
Interesting way to think about the body, how it moves, and its inter-connectedness. Great class!
Hilary S
It was insightful
MIRIAM L
Wendy is lovely and brilliant. One of my favorite teachers to learn from
Lynn P
Thank you Wendy for your gentle and genuine teaching style. thank you Amy for translating Wendy's words into transformational movement relationships. I will be revisiting this material to absorb the nuances I surely missed on my first go-round.Namaste
MEI-HSIO L
Thank you for the wonderful class! I have enjoyed it very much.
Angela C
I would like to have more information on how and why the connectedness of the body helps with injury prevention and treatment.
Carolyn M
Thank you so much! You have introduced me to a new way of thinking and moving that is so profound!
Kathryn M
I always enjoy and learn so much from Wendy! Its true that as you keep returning to the information it deepens the perspective.
Jackie W
I really enjoyed the workshop. Well done!!
JoAnn H
Fantastic workshop! Looking forward to going through it multiple times to fully experience/re-awaken the fluidity of coordinating and allowing my body to move, vs controlling with rigidity. Thank You!<3
Anna S
Thank you, I enjoyed it. I'm looking forwards to applying the newly learned series.
Pamela O
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! This workshop confirmed what I have been feeling and thinking for awhile. Look forward to putting some of this into my practice as a student and an instructor!
WeeGuan C
Thank you so much for this workshop. I love how it is conducted in a very calm and explorative manner. The interaction between Wendy and Amy allows me to see how the movement can be applied and explored in my own body and later in a student's. The teaching is clear and easy to digest with soundbites for continuous exploration.
Lisa S
This was a very interesting workshop. I want to play more with the fascial dog flow series. Thank you.
Lisa S
Thank you Wendy and FusionPilatesEDU.com for doing this workshop. I can never get enough of Wendy's lessons and wisdom. Your presentation and teaching demonstration with Amy were very clear and comprehensive, Wendy. As always with your lessons, this helped me deepen my understanding, and my curiosity. xoxo Lisa
Terisha T
Loved the class.....going to have to take session 4 and 5 again...a few times. Are there any contraindications with this work? I can see moderate to advanced/severe Osteoporosis as one...but I imagine that range is important....working with our own biotensegrity. ;-)
Nancy B
Bravo! This helps me understand my body's remarkable ability to support itself (me) in space against gravity and then support itself as it moves through space. Don't think I will ever stop thinking about this. Thank you so much for these brilliant insights. I will be looking for more!
McClain D
Wonderful workshop! The sessions are broken up into perfect little chunks and the accompanying PDF had tons of information. Another great experience with FusionPilatesEdu.com! Thank you!
Wai Y
The following points inspired me when I watched your video: 1/ Address a local problem to a global perspective. 2/ Body think of polarity and not opposition. 3/ The Mobius Loop: the continuity, inside of the body connect to the outside of the body, skin connect to the bone.
I'll keep practicing and pay attention to that. Thank you so much!

I have been using Wendy’s chair series for years and this brings a whole new meaning. Joe meant to be mind body and spirit and this workshop really shows how spirit in integrated biologically into what we already know. Such a wonderful workshop. Thank you
