PILATES DECONSTRUCTED®
a weekend of mat workshops
​with trina altman

NOVEMBER 2 + 3, 2018
open to all

UnWreck
Your
​Neck

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2
6:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Most of us spend a large portion of our days glued to a computer screen or texting, which often leads to stiffness, pain, and decreased range of motion.

In this workshop, you'll learn self-massage techniques to soften your knotty neck and upper back. Then, we'll address the neck and shoulders, focusing on the deep neck flexors—the 'core' of your neck.

Rotation 2.0​
Novel Explorations of the Transverse Plane

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3
12:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Discover how to build stability without sacrificing mobility using novel exercises that explore dynamic multi-directional movement in the transverse plane. This workshop will teach you the foundational principles for adding load to help improve strength, enhance coordination, and master new motor patterns in a slow, mindful way. You'll learn about the subtle nuances of rotation that go beyond a uniplanar twist, including:
  • Creating segmental rotation
  • Using rotation to improve balance and stability
  • Accessing rotation through cross-body patterning (crawling and gait)

Creative Progressions for Dynamic Pelvic Stability

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3
4:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Pelvic stability is necessary for pain-free movement during the activities of everyday life. Modern movement science is now finding that pelvic stability requires more than drawing the navel to the spine and engaging the transverse abdominus. While isolated strength training for the pelvis and core can be beneficial, you also need to practice connecting the upper and lower extremities to your pelvis in a coordinated and functional way to experience true stability and address sacroiliac joint dysfunction. In this workshop, you'll learn preventative strategies as well as a vast array of dynamic and static exercises that will keep your SI joint stable and strong.
"Pilates Deconstructed® Workshops provide tools for movement experts to learn how to refine and improve their skills. Being a physical therapist and Feldenkrais-Pilates teacher, I'm always looking for a good instructor who embodies the essence of somatic learning. Trina never fails me.”
