Workshop Title: PMA Exam Prep

3 PMA CECs*


Workshop Description: The PMA is the international, not--for--profit, professional credentialing association dedicated to the teachings of Joseph H. and Clara Pilates. The PMA Pilates certification exam was established in order to protect the public by ensuring that any Pilates teacher passing the exam was qualified to teach this effective and specialized form of exercise. This lecture-based workshop and designed to review the information and exercises included in the PMA exam. PMA Study Guide is required.

Workshop Title: Pilates Performance Fundamentals & Basically Advanced Matwork

6 PMA Credits*


Pilates Performance Fundamentals Workshop Description: This workshop begins with a break down of the muscular engagements and movements within the method that are foundational in nature; in one way or another they exist as the base of virtually each and every exercise.

Do your legs stay quiet and long on the mat for Roll Up? Do they float up and stay up on Teaser? Can you maintain the proper hip flexion angle on Jack Knife and Balance Control? Can you establish and maintain the scoop of your belly and length in your spine during Short Spine, Elephant, Kneeling Knees, Pull the Pedal Up? Do you understand and can you explain to clients the importance of neutral pelvis and neutral spine?

This workshop is designed to help you achieve all of the above!

Learn to assess, address and overcome the barriers to the successful performance of these foundational elements and with that, you will be able to safely advance your clients beyond the basics and work toward the idealized aspects of the work -- a beautiful Roll Up, a strong Teaser and the inversions.

Basically Advanced Workshop Description: If you teach a lot of mat, you're aware of how difficult it is to keep class fresh, exciting and challenging. New adaptations, challenges and variations on the historic exercises are a great way to keep class interesting and your loyal mat following excited about each and every class but sometimes, the pressure to endlessly delight our mat clients results in us teaching faster, more difficult exercises when they're really not appropriate and we often feel under the gun to come up with something new, on our own, in order to keep class lively.

The Basically Advanced concept puts the mat teacher firmly back in charge of the basic historic repertoire but with a twist, a super advanced twist. Breaking down the exercises into their most elemental form, even your most advanced clients will be supremely challenged, delighted and scamper back for more. Guaranteed. We cover both the how and what of teaching within the Basically Advanced concept; you'll learn how to apply to any exercise the Basically Advanced technique plus you'll learn the specific exercises as follows:

· The Hundred

· Roll Up

· Single Leg Circles

· Rolling Like a Ball

· Single Leg Stretch

· Double Leg Stretch

· Single Straight Leg Stretch

· Double Straight Leg Stretch

· Criss Cross

· Spine Stretch Forward



· It's practically a basic order, with only 3 additional stomach series exercises added. Simple, you say? Easy, you think? You can knock it out in 8 minutes, no sweat?

· Prepare for a revelation! Come to class and learn a fanny-whoopin' super advanced treatment of these "basic" beginner exercises.

· Everywhere we can fit them in, we'll work on unifying your strength, grace and control with light and super precise pulsing lifts.

· We'll tune up your endurance and work on patience (read: anger management) with sustained holds.

· To the standard Hundred we'll add choreography from other exercises to spice things up and increase the challenge. The Hybrid Teaser Hundred is sure to be your new favorite but I doubt you'll be able to actually do it -- hardly anyone can.

· We'll radically change the stomach series and do the whole darn thing seated -- talk about eliminating the struggle in lifting the upper body but before you celebrate, let's see how your obliques hold up under the strain of keeping your teeter from tottering.

· You'll positively love (read: hate) what I've done to Criss Cross -- you'll feel so challenged (read: weak & flustered) but it will make you so strong (read: ripped and slightly cocky).

Privat Sessions or Developmental Sessions (only for teacher) with Rebecca are possible on:


Thursday, June 24, 2010, 11 am - 4 pm

Monday, June 28, 10 am - 6 pm

Tuesday, June 29, 10 - 6 pm



1-hour Developmental Sessions: Working with clients and/or teachers in a private session, I respond to the educational needs and desires presented within the session. Focus usually centers on problem solving or a technical break down of a particularly difficult aspect of the work. I can also give a flowing, vigorous workout or a smooth and relaxing release session---or a combination of the two---that incorporates a wide variety of techniques and adaptations learned through my various studies. These sessions are best evaluated as a personalized, mini-training. Any and all topics can be covered and I recommend that those taking Developmental Privates come to the session prepared with a list of 3 - 5 things that they'd like to cover. It's a time to fix, explore, expand, break down, build up, figure out, finish up and plan for the future.
