Description
REFORMER VARIATIONS
If you are looking to spice up your reformer repertoire, Anula has you covered. In this online Pilates workshop, she teaches over 30 inventive, creative, and expressive exercise variations. These include variations on some traditional reformer exercises plus all-new material.
These exercises range from intermediate to very advanced and are a great way to add a challenge for yourself or your more experienced clients. Anula encourages everyone to do as much or as little of the movement as feels appropriate in their own body and gives you permission to move freely without being constrained by some of our typical misalignment fears.
This fun, funky, challenging sequence is a creative boost for anyone in need of some new teaching material.
MAT VARIATIONS
In this workshop, Anula explores ways of incorporating a variety of props into innovative mat exercises that address how we can use our Pilates skills in new and inventive ways. Emphasis is placed on enhancing proprioception and encouraging ownership of experiencing movement through both instructor and self-guided exploration. Exercises address everything from foot strength and mobility to whole-body connections that will provide a wide variety of options to work with both accomplished athletes as well as older or more beginner-level populations. Over 50 thoughtful, results-oriented variations will be immediately adaptable in classes and private sessions alike.

" I thought this workshop was engaging and creative. Anula is always captivating and inviting. There is tons of information to take back to the studio. Thank you! "
Caroline D
" I love the way she thinks out of the box. The unilateral work is so important and challenging which she does here. There were exercises for all levels. I already see how I can start with parts and gradually build clients up to do the full variation. Great workshop! "
Donna S
" I love Anula\'s nurturing, yet person-centered approach with acceptance of the complexity of imperfection, perfection, and human practicality and function. "
Cynthia W
" I loved the creativity, thinking outside of the box. Going into more 3 dimensional movement and less linear movement. Thank you this workshop inspired me to play more! "
Mallory H
" The best words to describe this workshop is 3-d. Anula mentioned that in session 6. I really enjoy teaching in all 3 planes of motion and that goal was accomplished today. Thank you for all of your creative movement patterns "
Tammy B
" I enjoy \"working\" with Anula, I am so glad I discovered her. I am on board with her philosophy that there are no bad movements and to allow students to work within their own range. the rigidity of pilates is frustrating sometimes. I find her approach refreshing and validating "
Suzanne C
" This workshop is great. I love the creativity of the variations and most of all, it is fun!!! "
Jidapa N
" Not only did I learn new exercises to try myself and have some of my students try but I feel refreshed after watching because I fully enjoy the freedom that Anula brings into her teaching. There is a sense of safe discovery that comes from suggesting movement sequences and patterns with no judgement and room to adjust at any moment during the exercise. Whether it be adjusting the equipment or the body to accommodate a healthy, fun, safe, and challenging movement experience. Thank you A and L! "
Angela W
" Loved loved this....baby steps are key. Lori is so strong & makes it look effortless. Love Anula\'s cues, comments, jokes...all of it. And I loved that the one \"acrobatic\" did not quite work out. Regarding the hypermobility, I try NOT to lock my joints esp knees, elbows, because i can\'t move from a locked joint. I consider them my shock absorbers. Thank you thank you...look forward to more "
Jennifer S
" Great ideas Anula. Enjoyed them. I am always looking for creativity on the pilates equipment. Thank you so much "
Valerie S
" I loved this workshop! I have been teaching Pilates for almost 15 years and I find Anula\'s fearless creativity to be very inspiring. I believe the brain and the body need new experiences to thrive and this workshop definitely provides lots of opportunity for new explorations. "
