History of Pilates by Mary

Lifelong Pilates & The Body
(10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. - Lunch - 2:30 - 5:30 p.m.)
In this workshop, Mary will teach us the essence of Pilates. Topics will include:
- More Spine, Less Mind: Includes new spinal release exercises off the Cadillac. Plus the spine as the initiator and integrator seen applied to any Pilates exercises.
- More Experience, Less Performing: Partnering with the body instead of controlling it as applied to all Pilates exercises.
- Breathing as a Marriage between the Human and the Animal in us: What the mind can think up as a way to breathing and what the body (animal part of us) can show and teach us about natural breathing.
- Common Pelvic Imbalances in our Culture: Spotting and ways to correct them.
- Lecture and Demonstration in the morning with participation by workshop attendees in the afternoon.
Pilates Plus Psyche
(10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. - Lunch - 2:30 - 5:30 p.m.)
Mary will discuss and teach the structure and function of our human psyche through the tool of Carl Jung's typology. We will explore how typology impacts each of us, explaining our strengths and weaknesses and foretelling the direction of development each one of us needs to work towards. This will apply to us personally as a practitioner and teacher of Pilates, and to our clients.
Understanding typology is an enlightener in all aspects of Pilates.
