Description
Join Elizabeth Larkam for this online Pilates workshop designed to advance your effectiveness as a Pilates professional by learning and understanding skillful verbal and touch cues that enhance the value and safety of reformer movement sequences. Working within your scope of practice as a movement educator in the Pilates environment, learn to convey valuable alignment information using precise words and touch that give directional intent. Learn cues that clarify movement relationships to enhance stability, mobility, coordination, and rhythm. Elizabeth Larkam demonstrates appropriate positioning of yourself with respect to your client in order to cue with respect, clarity, and compassion. She shows that awareness of your own alignment will improve your comfort while contributing to the accuracy of your cues. Elizabeth demonstrates that vocal rhythm and inflection are effective cueing instruments. In addition to learning Pilates-specific skills, in this workshop you will develop awareness of the importance of your intention and the value of maintaining the integrity of your energy field. The order of the exercises shows you how to “Sequence for Success”, integrating lumbo-pelvic stability in all planes with functional rotation of the spine. Part 1 of the reformer class includes eight exercises and the cues that support them. The client progresses safely through supine, quadruped, seated, high-kneeling, and standing. The movement sequences in Part 1 teach the skills required for Part 2, Elastic Recoil training. Reformer Elastic Recoil training includes foot and leg jumping on the jump board in quadruped, side lying and supine. Arm jumps are practiced in quadruped and side-sitting.Objectives

Amazing workshop!
Njoud A
Great instructor
Christine S
Wonderful workshop - love how Larkham explains and connects the exercises.
Amy K
This was my first workshop with Fusion Pilates and I definitely plan to do more. I went into this thinking it would provide more detail and examples for coming up with vivid and useful verbal cues, especially when in a group setting. This was more for one-on-one and maybe duets where the cueing is much more tactile. So, for me, there was a disconnect between expectations and reality.
Jody B
A marvelous workshop. What an incredible instructor. I look forward to more.
MARINA V
Very informative! Great cueing verbally and visually! Definitely learned a lot! Thank you!
sharon s
Always come back to Elizabeth\'s work to keep me grounded. Thank you so much for this workshop.
Jenny G
Elizabeth has a wonderful energy when she teaches--I learned a lot on how to step back and allow the student to be.
Allyson T
Wonderful curing suggestions, particularly when it came to body placement in relation to the client/giving them the space to have their own kinesthetic experience of movements. The ending Neutral Separation moment was something that had never occurred to me to do with a client, but I can see being very valuable.
James B
A very detailed series of exercises with an emphasis on the how and why of the cueing. I also have a better understanding of interacting and showing attention to the client but respecting their space.
Heidi T
Looking forward to applying Elizabeth’s guidance on handing over the education to the client and not over cueing. Can’t wait to teach these movements. Thank you
Theresa M

Julie J
Thank you Elizabeth I always enjoy learning from you and I appreciate you very much.
Maggie D
I have been a trainer for 23 years. I found this content to be useful and inspiring. I understand it is not part of this curriculum to teach modifications but I have clients that kneeling is a problem. Knee replacements that have never healed correctly etc. I am going to experiment with different modifications to help with the kneeling issues and keep the integrity of the exercises.Thank you.
Jenny M
Thank you for a lovely series!
ANNA OGUIMOURA
I liked the workshop a lot - it helped me to re-organize myself in space when teaching clients, cut on verbal cuing a bit, and appreciate the variations. It's always an extra challenge to teach effectively and in engaging way that is a challenge to clients.
Ellen L
I enjoyed Elizabeth's Larkam's gentle and encouraging manner and innovative variations.
Amy L
Great exercises, detailed cueing, good reminders!
Marie
Great workshop from such a beautiful professional. Would love to see Elizabeth teaching a real client, maybe less advanced so we can visualize better the effects of her cueing.Sending my deep respect and appreciation to Elizabeth and her demonstrator.Thank you

Toni M
I thought the content and presentation was professional and presented well
Maureen S
This was wonderful. Thanks so much.
Shan A
Lots of very good information. I don't usually enjoy her presentations at conferences because of the other teachers asking so many silly questions. Very good to see her just present the material.... Thanks!
Tara B
Very interesting and not what I thought it would be about... learned some new ideas and variations
MICHELE R
Loved this class! Very valuable cueing information. I especially enjoyed the cueing on the jumpboard and the information about elastic coil and the fascial lines of the body.
Kelly H
The was a very informative workshop!Thank you for all the wonderful cueing suggestions
Lisa C I
Grateful for Ms. Larkam having shared her studies and exercises she has developed around the studies in new anatomy/ fascial lines; as well as her suggestions to being aware of mirror neurons and energy fields - all so helpful on many levels. Oh, right - and a delightful presentation as well! :-)
Shannon S
Loved this workshop and learned new cues and variations I haven\'t used before. Very beneficial and enjoyed hearing Elizabeth teach again!
Janessa D
Great workshop - Very informative.
Laura M
Excellent workshop! Looking forward to teaching these exercises to my clients.
Gemma P
This is a lovely video. I love Elizabeth\'s quiet, gentle style. I learned a few more exercises I can give clients on the reformer, and the logic behind cuing them. Thank you.
corey m
Good class.
Susan F
I enjoyed hearing Elizabeth Larkhams set-up descriptions. It was very helpful to be able to step back and examine how to present anexercise, how to think about my space and the clients space, and finally how to reexamine how I am cueing in light of her thoughtful explanations about how she cues.
Mary Sue C
I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop but would love more info on elastic recoil. Why it is useful/important. Also I would love more explanation on why the rhythm of the arm jumps with rotation and why the clap in the sequence.
Edith D
As always it´s a pleasure and a great benefit to watch a video/workshop by Elizabeth Larkam. Thank you !
Betina W
Thank you for this creative workshop! I specifically liked the attention to detail and clear explanations as to why to cue (tactile or verbally) a certain way. I never much thought about my own placement in relation to the student. The flow was marvelous, each new move prepared by an earlier exercise. Maybe I missed the spring tension on some of the exercises. As always I appreciated Elizabeth's soothing voice and her humor out of left field. Thanks again Elizabeth, you are an inspiration.
Oksana P
I really enjoyed this workshop and learned a lot as a beginner teacher on the appropriate amount of cueing. I also enjoyed the peaceful flowing energy that comes form Elizabeth and will strive to share the same with my clients. Thank you for sharing your energy and knowledge with us! I am looking forward to more workshops with you.
Caitlin H
This workshop was wonderful---very clear and easy to follow. Great progression of exercises and nice new variations to think about. I love Elizabeth\'s calm and gentle manner as well.
Elizabeth B
I enjoyed this workshop and learned some new exercises that I feel I can implement with my clients. The cueing was excellent and I will use these cues in the new exercises as well as the ones that I already know. Thank you.
