Inclusive language and cueing in the Pilates studio are always important.
Sofia Engelman walks you through how to take a closer look at the use of pronouns, being sensitive to how you address certain body parts, and how to be more mindful in relating to those who have body dysphoria, have had or are contemplating gender-affirming surgery, and ways to create a safe environment in the studio to foster trust.
Topics include assessment protocols along with pre-Pilates, Reformer and Cadillac sequences designed for pre- and post top surgery. In-depth discussion of cueing language and non-invasive touch are tools that will put all clients at ease, while providing instructors new ways of thinking about and supporting those in the queer and trans community who might find the studio environment intimidating.
This workshop will help you to serve the trans and queer population in your community in a respectful and caring way.
