October 6, 2024 – 6 Hour Virtual Athletic Pilates

$300.00

The Athletic Pilates workshop will be live cast, with virtual attendees having dedicated time to ask questions and participate. All attendees must participate in the Q&A segments to receive their certification. Every two hours, we will give the in-person students a 15 minute break.  During that break, Sean will address any questions and comments that the virtual students have entered into the comment section.

Curriculum

PROPS + TOOLS – Finding the right tools for athletic reformer classes is the most important difference between a traditional and an athletic class. Knowing what tools and how to use them defines a great athletic class.
SET-UP + INCLUSIVITY

PRINCIPLES VS. GIVING JUST A WORKOUT
Be sure that each student understands that athletic workouts must always apply the Pilates principles.

HARD DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN EFFECTIVE
Keep the focus on giving a consistent well-rounded class vs. trying to make it super tough all the time.

LOUD MUSIC VS. MEDIUM AND WHEN THEY ARE APPROPRIATE
When you need your voice to teach, be sure the music is low. When you are wanting to set a pace and the exercises are foundational moves, not high-level, raise the volume to set the class vibe.

SPRING TENSION
Offer each student the option to experience spring tension.  Allow them to discover what “medium” is, then increase or decrease tension from there.

WHY TIMING OVER COUNTING IS IMPORTANT
Time durations allow students to work within their fitness level and abilities. Every student may have different goals and using a timer, can help with feeling successful.

HIGH LEVEL MOVEMENTS AND FAST PACE NOT SUSTAINABLE
Be sure that when you choose an exercise that is unstable, always find adequate rest periods between sets. Trying to prolong the set durations with multiple variations is unsustainable and potentially problematic.
PROGRAM CLASS FORMATS – Learn Sean’s four program formats and how to create various classes, depending on what your target focus is.
ATHLETIC EXERCISE OVERVIEW – Discuss training muscle groups and how stabilizing movement and why timing over counting is valid.
