The Spinal Engine: The spine assists in locomotion Sunday November 24, 2024 1- 4 PM $200 Click here to register The Spinal Engine theory is that the human spine is the primary engine of locomotion, not just a supportive structure. It emphasizes the spine’s oscillatory movements, particularly its ability to flex, extend, and rotate, as fundamental to walking and running.  Using the Pilates…

Calves We don’t always think about our calf muscles in improving posture.  Where your shins stand in relationship to your foot influences your entire structure.  Balancing the muscles of the calves help with our function . With having ACL tears in both knees,  my training of my calves help amazingly my squats and basic function.   For years a s a dancer, I mainly concentrated on my core in…

Embodied Anatomy Pilates Mat makes you think differently about your practice and body. Every system; yoga, pilates, ballet, etc., has a repertory of how to warm up the body and create new connections.   When your mind becomes too routine, your practice deadens.  Different themes about the body within the Pilates mat makes you deepen your connections to your body.  For me Pilates is more than a…

June 3 at 2:15 PM we are going to explore Tuckeroonie vs Posterior Tilt in my online Embodied Anatomy Pilates Mat class.   A lot of clients mistakenly initiate abdominal work of posterior tilt with their legs.  You can see the muscles over engaged at the femoral fold and femur head pushed forward.  This habit really disconnects you from the potential of your core control. Each week we explore…

A well-working engine requires all the parts moving well.  This includes the concept of “spinal engine”.  With my studies with my teachers: Jean Claude West, Feldenkrais, Bartenieff Fundamentals and Pilates, I have come to new ideas about working with the spine.  We all have certain parts of our spine not moving well. Sometimes pushing too much, forces us to jump over our tight spots.  This…

Muscular slings is a concept to describe the interconnected network of muscles and fascia in the body.  These slings work together to produce movement and maintain stability. Muscular slings shifts our thinking about the body as parts, but to a new interconnectedness of the body’s structures and systems. We will explore the 3D core through the Anterior, Lateral and Posterior slings.  The drawings…

Openings & Closings Anyone with a forward head and/or kyphotic posture, waking up the posterior sling is important.  The posterior sling is important especially in walking.   The phrasing of the posterior sling has a different quality from a prone swan to standing up.  The coordination is essential between the gluts and the lats.  Sometimes one is moving faster in the upper body.   The extension…
