Description

In this workshop, Rachel Piper breaks down the Classical Pilates Mat exercises, adding props or modifying when necessary, as she works with two different individuals in the studio. She then uses the mat work as a template for strategizing on the Cadillac and the Reformer. The strength to perform the Mat exercises well is often best introduced by teaching the necessary skills with the support of the equipment, and Rachel seamlessly ties it all together as she works through each sequence step by step.

See her adapt and think on the fly as she works with the body in front of her and learn ways to link the mat to everything that is performed on the various Pilates Apparatus.
