This workshop will focus on exercises performed on the Cadillac that have been modified specifically for clients with postural and muscular imbalances and/or scoliosis. We will also delve more deeply into the "hands on" assistance and mental imagery necessary to help clients absorb and internalize the corrective adjustments.
We will start with a 1½-hour Mat Class that will also serve as an "active review" of the Pilates Fundamentals. Mat Class will provide all participants an opportunity to warm up, move, and integrate the corrective exercises into their own bodies. We will then progress onto the Cadillac, and spend the rest of the morning & afternoon sessions exploring the exercises, the imagery, and the one-on-one "hands on" partnering techniques.

Attend this 3-part series of Scoliosis Workshop Intensives with Acclaimed Pilates Teacher Jillian Hessel.
Millions of adults are living with scoliosis, and more likely than not you have encountered a client with this condition. Deepen your understanding of scoliosis while learning remedial and modified Pilates exercises for the Mat, Reformer, Wunda Chair, and Cadillac. Living with scoliosis herself, Jillian's intimate knowledge of, and experience with, these modifications is unsurpassed.
Workshop #1
The first workshop focuses on Pre-Pilates Fundamentals to help raise the client's awareness of his/her muscular imbalances. We practice specific breathing patterns and target altered muscle recruitment aimed at balancing out the uneven muscular development seen in scoliosis. We then move onto the Reformer to practice unilateral exercises against spring resistance.

PILATES FOR EVERYBODY
Pilates Method Alliance 2007 International Educational Conference — 2007
ORLANDO, FL
Scheduled Classes:
Asymmetrical Exercises for Asymmetrical Bodies
taught by Jillian Hessel
-
Nov. 2 — 10:30-12:30
-
Nov. 2 — 3:15-5:15
-
Nov. 3 — 1:30-3:30
One of Joseph Pilates' goals was "the uniform muscular development of the body." But how do you design a Pilates program for clients with pronounced muscular asymmetries and imbalances? Often, the muscular imbalances are so pronounced that many of the traditional, bilateral Pilates exercises only serve to further strengthen musculature that is already overdeveloped on these asymmetrical bodies. What sort of exercises can you give to help recruit and stimulate the weak, underdeveloped muscles for these special clients? In this two-hour Lecture/Demonstration, Jillian Hessel will address the "asymmetrical conundrum." You will learn many unilateral exercises on the Trap Table, Step Barrel, and Wunda Chair that can be used to "wake up" weak, underused muscles and mobilize stiff joints. Unilateral exercises can help to "reprogram" muscle recruitment and client proprioception, thereby aiding us in our goal to rebalance the musculature of the asymmetrical body. This workshop is designed for Pilates teachers with at least 5 years of teaching experience.
