Each year, Rhinebeck Pilates is happy to offer the pilates community workshops and classes with special guest teachers. This year, we are so excited and fortunate to have Shari Berkowitz! She is a warm and friendly instructor with a deep wealth of pilates and anatomy knowledge. This is not to be missed!
Thematic Mat Class
June 12, 9am-10am
Group Mat Class, open to: Beginner-Advanced students and instructors
$30
What will the theme of this mat class be? Only Shari knows! She will pick a theme at the start of the class that will be focused on and sought after in each exercise. There will be a strong through-line of that theme. Everyone will leave class with a new set of muscles and an awareness of something special that wasn't there an hour ago!
Workshop: Archival Mat and Standing Exericses
June 12, 10:15-1:15
PMA credits will be issued
Workshop, open to: Pilates instructors and serious students
$120
There are many more versions of Mr. Pilates’ exercises than we see today. Variations, modifications, combinations of multiple exercises in one! Fascinating, challenging and all the rest! These versions should not just live in the memories of those of us who had access to them years ago. They ought to be living, breathing exercises for those who need the modification or challenge! Experience this material, then teach it so we never lose track of these great exercises!
The World of The Chairs: High Chair and Wunda Chair - Your Body's Best Friends!
June 12, 2-5pm
PMA credits will be issued
Open to: pilates instructors and serious students
$120
You didn't know if you should invest in a high chair, but you did...and you hardly use it. Or maybe you haven't bought one and wonder if you ought to. It's an amazing tool! You deserve to learn how to use it to it's fullest for you and your clients - from Session 1 to Session 4001. Then there's the wunda chair, The Home Reformer. So many exercises, it's almost overwhelming to pick and choose...and you pick the same 3 or 4 over and over again. Let's open the doors to the World of The Chairs! Let's work to understand the purpose of each exercise on each chair and make it come alive for you and your clients!
