Workshop: Grip Strength: From Your Hands to Feet on the Pilates Reformer! Grip Strength = Vitality + Longevity

Presenter: Ann Toran
Description: Grip Strength is considered a “vital sign” of aging. Your grip strength reflects your overall health status, especially as we age! The Pilates Reformer is the optimal apparatus for addressing both Foot and Hand grip strength across all ages. As a Balanced Body Educator, I continually see a deficit in attention to the detailed positioning of the feet and toes on the footbar, as well as the alignment of the hands, wrists, and fingers while holding the straps and footbar. In this workshop, we will learn how to emphasize and strengthen your Hands to Feet and ultimately your arms and legs, leading to improved posture, upper-body and lower-body strength and power, using the Reformer repertoire.

Workshop: Beginnings and Endings: Master Warm-Ups & Cool-Downs for Group Classes

Presenter: Lesley Logan
Description: Tired of verbal cues falling flat in group classes? Feel the pressure to "mix it up" when your clients just need to get the foundations? Discover how to kick off classes with warm-ups that create instant body connections and set clients up for success; wrap up with cool-downs that reinforce learnings, leaving them taller and smarter about their movement; and sneak fresh entry points into repeat workouts—or solidify takeaways post-session. Perfect for group teachers! Bring your toughest-to-teach exercises, and we'll workshop prop-supported warm-ups/cool-downs tailored to them. Walk away with a toolkit that builds client understanding, boosts retention, and frees you from cue frustration.
