Who This Course Is For

• Comprehensively trained Pilates teachers from all schools and lineages
• Studio owners and senior teachers who want to bring pelvic health expertise in-house
• Pilates educators looking to expand their scope through a whole-body, movement-based approach
• Teachers who regularly encounter clients with pelvic health concerns and want a clear, practical framework for supporting them
• Movement professionals seeking to understand the relationship between pelvic health, posture, and full-body function

No prior training in pelvic health is required. Comprehensive Pilates training is the only prerequisite , only curiosity and a willingness to look at the body differently are what you bring.

This is an immersive two-day weekend intensive totalling 14 hours of teaching across theory, guided discussion, assessment practice, and hands-on studio application. The two days are designed as a single, coherent learning arc . Day One builds the knowledge and assessment skills that make Day Two fully possible.

Day One: Theory, Assessment & Foundations

Day One establishes the clinical and conceptual framework that underpins all Whole Body Pelvic Health teaching. The day covers:

• The three pelvic health patterns most commonly seen in Pilates: hypertonic presentations, compensation strategies, and lack of coordination and pressure control
• The four WBPH concepts : breath, release, range of motion, and coordination  explored through lecture, guided discussion, and practical movement
• Myofascial release techniques taught using the Whole Body Pelvic Health Ball, giving teachers an immediately applicable tool for hypertonic and restricted presentations
• Practical pelvic health assessment in pairs across multiple positions: supine, prone, quadruped, seated, and standing
• Introduction to corrective strategies based on patterns observed during assessment

Day Two: Mat & Apparatus Application

Day Two is entirely practical. Taking exercises familiar to all comprehensively trained Pilates teachers, participants learn to adapt and teach through a Whole Body Pelvic Health lens. The day covers:

• Mat repertoire: adapting, modifying, and progressing familiar exercises in response to the pelvic health patterns identified on Day One
• Apparatus application across Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrel:  focusing on exercises most likely to intersect with pelvic health presentations
• Development of a clinical reasoning process for making intelligent, responsive choices in real time
• Integration of Day One assessment skills directly into teaching practice across the full studio
