Description

Join Jennifer Golden for an enlightening workshop that weaves ancient Daoist wisdom and Qigong principles into the traditional Pilates repertoire.

At first glance, these practices might seem worlds apart, but you'll uncover the surprising synergy between their core principles—breathing techniques, intentional movement, concentration, and tension release. In this Power Behind the Powerhouse workshop, Jennifer breaks down these concepts and demonstrates their application to Pilates.

Learn the fundamentals of Qigong, including an introduction to the Mingmen, or "door of life," and see these ideas in action as a client integrates them into classical Pilates exercises. Discover the distinction between power and tension, and the transformative importance of intention in movement.

If you've ever been curious about blending Pilates with the principles of Qigong, this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to expand your practice.
