Description
The Pelvis: the Ilium and the The Sacrum
The pelvis is made up of 2 bones; the ilium and the sacrum. The way in which we organize and stabilize the pelvis can affect the entire body. Poor mechanics of the pelvis can influence the entire body including the neck, shoulders, spine hip, knee and foot.
This workshop offers teachers a step-by-step understanding of the anatomy of the pelvis, pelvic floor and dynamic stability through Pilates exercises and functional movement such as gait.
Over her years of teaching, Lesley has received many questions from Pilates teachers asking how to teach the use of the pelvic floor. This workshop answers all of these questions by covering a myriad of imagery techniques and exercises ranging from the simple to the complex.
Please note that the work contained in this workshop should never be taught in one lesson and that the use of this information depends on the learning curve of your client.

quite lovely
Karina B
Very helpful info on alignment with sacrum and hips
Emanuela M
Another great workshop.
Caroline B
Thank you for such clear and subtil info. I also have noticed that people tend to overwork, talking about bones is very helpful and I've used such imagery too; I still struggle to bring some of my clients to such subtle awareness and your workshop gives me confidence to keep on going. Thank you Leslie, I really really appreciate the clear subtlety of your work and the richness of your imagery.
Linda von WErnitz V
I found the cueing of the movement of the bones vs muscles to be tremendously helpful and easy to grasp. Can't wait to implement on common PAs.
Gerolyn W
This training was very helpful to helping me detect what is going on for my client’s pelvic floor...Thanks!
Gerolyn W
The Pelvic floor is a major player in many different functions do the body. Gait can be highly affect by a pelvic floor with tight and /or weak muscles. A great video for going deeper into creating balance in the postural system
Candace A
Great indepth visualisation cues to assist with imbalances
Devon P
Great info!
Devon P
Thank you for the detailed imagery and helpful cues.
Carrie C
Great workshop! Delivery was clear and concise however I thought it would be more about how to help pelvic floor issues such as incontinence as opposed to pelvic placement. Still I learned a lot.
Jenny G
Great course, very informative.
Kris B
This may be one of the most important workshops I have ever taken. My dream would be to sit in Lesley's studio and watch her teach day in and day out.
Candice S
Thank you!
Deborah S
Loved this workshop. Great pacing, great visuals (bones and tape), great variety of cueing.
Kristin T
I found this workshop invaluable. Cueing the bone movement was helpful.
Patricia E
I liked so much understanding the action of the pelvic floor, through understanding the bone movement.
Jennifer S
I enjoyed the cueing for sacroiliac issues - new ideas! thanks
Michelle H
Very informative
Tessa C
Love it but need to watch it over again!!
Erin E
It was useful to see the concepts being taught with a live client. Also the use of the bone "props" was helpful to really visualize what is going on in the body.
Kiana F
The pacing of the video was helpful, and I appreciated Leslie Powell taking the concept through all orientations to gravity with the body.
Alana A
I found seeing the sacrum and femur bones extremely helpful during the side split exercise...
Cheryl G
The workshop was terrific! I found this content very valuable. I expect to use it on my daughters who have recently given birth as well as my clients. This is consistent with the way I already teach but see great benefit from cuing the bones more frequently than I have been.
Vanessa C
I wrote 5 pages of notes, which is great as it was packed with information. It was great to help to fill some gaps and very helpful. Thank you.
Nichelle M
This was very helpful in better understanding movements of the pelvis. Thank you!
Pia
Great workshop. I enjoyed all cues and new perspective...
Youn Kyung L
Thank you!
Tonya A
Thanks, Leslie! Wonderful workshop.
Lindzay K
I enjoyed the imagery and cues.
Maria M
I found it interesting especially knowing that to get to the transverse i have to go through the pelvis
MICHELE R
I enjoyed the various cues and imagery to help the client connect deeper to the pelvic floor.
Lindsey C
I found this workshop very informative and clear. The demonstrations using imagery were very helpful
Christina B
It was interesting to examine the relationship between the ASIS, sitz bones and sacrum in movement.
Suzanne M
Thank you! Very nice and well done!I have similar issues in saying the same thing repeatedly... for Leslie, it is 'bring the movement up and through'. Food for thought. I liked especially the progression, and the use of multiple pieces of equipment and a sequence ending with gait.
Amy H
Great workshop, thank you!
Meredith G
Great course
Nadja S
Good video
Andy S
Very informative - especially about the sacrum having too much movement...
Bora J
I have never thought about how pelvic floor is important for Pilates movements. The most inspired part is pelvic floor is a central point to have appropriate alignment and it affects other limbs work. Several movements seen from this video are very helpful to cue and give clients pelvic image. I would buy a pelvic floor element and use the imaginary motions to my clients as well.
Caroline L
Great workshop thank you!
Malgorzata P
A ton of interesting details!
Valerie P
Great cues!
Jessica R
Good workshop. The video really allows us to see the movement that is happening. Thank you.
Cierra S
