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.
