We understand that many of you who have shown interest in studying with us simply can't make the time and financial committment for a 2nd (or 3rd) time. We are offering a modified version of our program for those who have completed a comprehensive Pilates program through another organization. You will have the opportunity to attend all the classes, take advantage of the special trainee prices for private and group classes, and spend observation hours in the studio.
You will not have to fulfill personal practice and practice teaching requirements to earn your Certificate of Continued Education.
As you will not be utlizing as many hours in the studio, we have discounted your cost to reflect the difference.
($300 non-refundable deposit required. Payment plan available)

SPECIAL EVENTS 
The shoulders and arms are the means in which our spine can interact with the world around us. So many of us simply don''t know "where to put" our shoulders. Disorganized shoulders can often lead to tension, pain, and injury. Learn to organize this upper movement system and develop organic motion through the shoulders, arms, and upper spine. We will use a variety of props and exercises to explore, re-train, release, and strengthen this often elusive region.

Join us on this quest for organized movement. In this experiential class, students will learn musculo-skeletal anatomy as it relates to the spine and its connection to the upper and lower movement systems. We will also explore release techniques and how to access our deep (and often elusive) intrinsic musculature for improved posture and movement. DAY 1 will primarily have a lower body focus, while the DAY 2 will be more upper body focused. Students may register for 1 or both days. Both days are required to meet the Instructor Training Program requirements
