I will be teaching a new workshop at the San Francisco Bay Club

I will be co-teaching a workshop called Pilates and Athletic Conditioning with Brian Hannah. I am excited to teach this fast paced class with superstar trainer Brian Hannah who is MAT trained and a fabulous Functional Fitness and Strength Training Expert.

We developed this workshop after Brian had a client who was experiencing a plateau in her training and thought trying out Pilates would help her jump out of it. After I trained her for a session, he noticed how his client improved her form and was able to progress further in her athletic training. From this experience, it seemed obvious that we should work together to develop a workshop mixing the two methods so more people could have access to the synergistic power of Pilates and Athletic Training. The workshop will focus on strengthening muscles that produce powerful movements and those that help stabilize the joints in the trunk region that, if not addressed, can lead to excessive wear and tear and limit the range of power production in movement. The Pilates part of the workshop will use postural cuing, core, powerhouse training, flow and breath, which will help improve one's posture, core strength, and stability while performing global movements in athletic training. In addition, because one of the key principals in Pilates is breath, it also known as a meditative movement, which may help relax your body and mind when performing exercises. I encourage those who are in a plateau in their resistant training, athletic endeavors or are interested in building a balanced body through local and global strength training but don't have time to take separate classes to give this workshop a try.
