October 20th -22nd Shari Berkowitz Workshop Weekend at Bolder Pilates!
We are over the moon to announce we will be once again hosting our favorite Pilates Teacher of Teachers, Shari Berkowitz of The Vertical Workshop for another phenomenal weekend of Pilates play, October 20-22nd in Boulder. As you know, her workshops bring people from all over the country, and we have a long list of interested teachers, so get registered ASAP! This will be a phenomenal weekend of learning, laughing and sweating, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Shari is a Pilates Teacher of Teachers, biomechanist and ergonomist holding Master’s of Science degrees in Ergonomics and Biomechanics from New York University (NYU). She travels the world teaching teachers of all styles of Pilates, though her vocabulary of exercises is classical. Her ability to cross over the boundaries of style in Pilates comes from her remarkable understanding of how the human body works, how people learn, how the apparatus works… She has an unusual ability for taking the most complicated concepts and turning them into simple nuggets of information that you can immediately use.
Come Experience the difference! Workshops with Shari are body and mind altering; You will learn more than you could have imagined and have a great time, too!

Saturday Workshops:
10:30a-1:30p Neck Health Workshop
The Pilates Promise is a safe and strong workout now matter what issues or ailments you might have. Then that means we have to know enough about the neck to be sure we are living up to that promise. The practice of Pilates, in all styles, seems to miss true neck care both for those who have neck issues and for maintaining healthy necks. This workshop will share information about the neck, how to strengthen and support it in ways that change your teaching and workouts for the better! Small alterations make a world of difference from a weak or unstable neck to a strong one. This changes your posture as well as shoulder girdle and arm strength! Small alterations reveal big rewards! Pilates should work for everyone all of the time. Let’s make sure we know what to do and not to do with necks!
3-6p Creative Spine Corrector
Laying dusty in a hidden corner of your studio... the Spine Corrector. Dust that baby off! It’s time to use this amazing piece! In this workshop, you'll learn how to transform your Spine Corrector into one of the most useful pieces of apparatus in your studio! You will learn how to do and teach an entire flowing workout/session on the Spine Corrector as well as how to use just a handful of exercises to enhance a full workout. With over 30 exercises, there's a lot to work on and discover. You will also learn how to organize the exercises, how to position the clients on the apparatus and where to be, to spot and cue the exercises as the teacher. It's surprising how special and important you’ll find Spine Corrector.

Sunday 10/22
9-9:55am Thematic Mat Masterclass with Shari $45pp

Sunday Workshops:
10:30a-1:30p The Teaser Workshop
All is going great with your workout, session or class and then you meet up with: The Teaser! Either you have to do it or you have to teach it...and both you and your clients are filled with the seemingly unanswerable question: “Why can’t I do The Teaser?” It’s time to learn why The Teaser doesn’t work out well and how to get it to be fantastic! Getting to The Teaser is a beautiful, yet often missed progression. Maybe the progression is even more detailed than you’d expect! The time has come to own your Teaser...and help your clients to own it, too!
2:30-5:30p End UP!
Do you know the song “It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish?” (Fear not...I’ll sing it to you during the workshop.) In Pilates we must consider where we start AND where we finish. Yet many sessions and classes seem to end with a drip and a fizzle rather than a pop or some punctuation on the entire session. We’ve got to leave our client with “what it takes” to step out the door and go into the rest of their life. We must finish standing up! But picking the appropriate standing exercises on the appropriate apparatus is a skill in itself. And how many exercises do we have? Many to choose from and more to learn! In this workshop you’ll learn more exercises, remember ones you had forgotten and make sure each workout is the best it can be!
