Description
As we age, gravity takes its toll on our posture, which affects our ability to do certain movements or perform tasks of daily living. In this online Pilates workshop, Jean Sullivan shares a variety of exercises that can be used with older clients to help restore functional movement patterns needed for tasks like getting in and out of a chair, getting down to the floor, reaching overhead, and carrying groceries in one arm.
Jean provides tips on how to observe and assess functional movement patterns. She then demonstrates over 40 exercises designed to improve mobility in the thoracic spine, rib cage, and shoulder girdle; strengthen the feet and side body; practice hip hinges (squats) and lunges on and off the equipment; and work on pushing and pulling motions, all while taking into account common issues to consider in an older population.
This workshop will give you the tools needed to help restore functional movement patterns in your active aging clients so they can continue doing the things they love.

Good course to make you think!
Jennifer B
This training course was practical and well-delivered. I believe it will be helpful not only in my active ageing clients but also my moms who have developed postpartum posture and habits (raising my own hand here!). Carla did a wonderful job as student model, although I would also be interested to see this work on a less capable student to observe cueing through resistance of understanding/capability. However, I don't think that's something we can expect with an online trainingThank you Jean!
Courtney K
Jean Sullivan has a nice teaching voice :) Easy to listen to and understand. This would be a good workshop for someone newer to teaching Pilates to the older population. I've been teaching this population for years, so I did not walk away with new material, but I'm sure many did.
Oksana P
Thank you! The workshop was very useful to review most important functional movements we all need to maintain for active aging. I will certainly be including many of the exercises I have learned in my classes.
Marguerite G
Great workshop. Lots of useful cues. I think it would be useful if each session was labelled according to the general content in the section.
Elizabeth L
Love! This has given me new ways to cue the movement patterns I see with my older students.
Marna W
Very informative and handouts were helpful.
Mary P
very helpful informationThank you Jean!
Sofias G
I love this course it is filling in my understanding of progression of aging as well as progression of injury and scoliosis. So helpful to be able to pause and hear the anatomy and have time to research my understanding
Charlotte S
I found this workshop to be extremely valuable. I especially appreciated the explanation of what weaknesses were being addressed and how they would appear in a typical body, then the exercises to correct that weakness. I will definitely use this information with my clients. Thank you.
Kim C
I found the workshop informative and I look forward to incorporating the evaluation and modification techniques into my work. It would have been nice to know the spring settings for reformer work.
Jaci M

Thank you for this course. It is a great reminder of how cueing & reference points can aid our clients for improved posture as well as their success in extending & understanding the movement.
Jacqueline N
Excellent workshop with much material I can use with my clients who fall into the older age group. I especially liked having the handout notes which I printed and was able to add comments on for later review. This is a workshop I will definitely come back to and I look forward to taking other courses with Jean Sullivan .
Julia K
Helped to reinforce my knowledge of functional movement patten. Very helpful cues, being able to watch her work with a active aging body and see the patterns that were being worked on was very helpful...
Daniella T
Very applicable for my practice - fantastic cueing and ideas. And I am so appreciative of the PDF - I wish all of the trainings at Fusion would include notes with photos!Thank you!
