Description
Join Madeline Black for this online Pilates workshop to explore the rib cage and surrounding tissues and their effect on posture, movement and function.The lower region of the thorax will be explored with an eye toward movement, breath, and functional recruitment of the myofascial core. Madeline will lecture on the effect of the thorax on the upper body, from arms to head; the lower body, from pelvis to legs; and, of course, the powerful relationship to the core. Madeline will include a focus on diaphragmatic, psoas and intercostals work for improving ribcage structure and function. Watch Madeline work with a first time Pilates client who is discovering her core connections.

As always Madeline Black's workshop was very detailed and informative. Great sequence of movements leading up into the full body exercises feeling the support from the lower ribs. Fantastic.

I was lucky enough to learn from Madeline personally during my ITT Pilates training. It\'s great to see her direct, specific, and approachable style translates to this excellent online course -- and it\'s great to learn new tricks to help clients move the commonly sticky lower ribcage area.

I was lucky enough to work personally with Madeline during my ITT certification program. It\'s great to see her no-nonsense, clear approach translated to this workshop, and learn a few new tricks to address a commonly sticky area.

Great workshop; lots of good techniques to help stabilize the TL junction!

This workshop will make me look more closely at the TL junction, rotation progressing through the 4 regions of the thoracic spine and rib translation prior to rotation. It has already improved my teaching.

Excellent.

I very much appreciated this workshop by Madeline Black. The anatomical information was clear and concise, and there was a logical progression to the exercises with a clearly stated goal for each one. The set up and action steps were easily understood and included helpful demonstrations of Madeline teaching each exercise to a client new to Pilates. Much helpful cueing was included to help maximize the client's experience of the work and correct performance errors.

This workshop was great! Lots of wonderful information and techniques. I'm a Pilates instructor and I have seen this issue in a number of my clients. I will definitely use what I learned in this workshop to help them achieve better alignment, breathing and core integration.

I thought this seminar was excellent. I love how specifically Madeline cues and describes what she is doing and why. I have used several of these exercises in my mat classes with great results. Thank you so much!

This workshop was great. It was an interesting look into the many aspects of movement in the ribcage...

Great workshop. I loved the modifications for Reformer exercises (knee stretch and side plank with box, articulating upstretch 2, etc.) and found the anatomic and biomechanical explanations very useful. It\'s also useful to see the exercises demonstrated with a client who has challenges with the material.
