Pilates with Marie is hosting Shari Berkowitz & The Vertical Workshop
for a weekend of pilates workshops. All are welcome, regardless of level or style of experience. This is a great continuing education opportunity for fitness and wellness professionals alike.
About Shari & The Vertical Workshop:
The Vertical Workshop method infuses classical Pilates exercises with modern biomechanics, providing a more scientific understanding of how the body works. You can find out more here.
COVID PROTOCOL:
All participants must take an at-home Covid test (at their own expense) prior to coming to the studio each day (Fri, Sat and Sun). Shari will do the same. If you have any symptoms or concerns, please do not come to the studio. Let us know and we will make the necessary arrangements for you. We want to ensure a safe and enjoyable weekend!
List of Workshops
Proprioception & Interoception
Where are you in space? How do you know without looking in the mirror or needing hands-on? How do your clients know? In The Vertical Workshop, our method works to develop both your sense of your body in space and what’s going on in the inside. When we develop and help our clients develop this, great changes can occur! Physical goals can be achieved! It is a vital aspect to muscle learning and real change that goes beyond the session or class. Why isn’t it taught more? Why don’t Pilates teachers recognize the value of it? It’s time you developed this and taught it! Teaching is so much Where are you in space? How do you know without looking in the mirror or needing hands-on? How do you clients know?

It’s time you developed this and taught it! Teaching is so much easier and more rewarding when we use all of the tools available to us! This one is a bit of a mind-blower! (3 NPCP CECS) $180
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! (3 NPCP CECS) $180
Stretching: Increasing Range Of Motion and Releasing Tight Muscles:
What Works, What’s Safe and…What Doesn’t and Isn’t .Has stretching helped you either increase your range of motion or release your tension of tight muscles? They say it will and should, but it hasn’t. Why not? Is it that you’re not doing it enough? No. That’s not it at all. You’re doing what you’ve been told, but it doesn’t work. Let’s get to what does work! In this workshop/webinar, we’ll discuss what stretching really is, what really increases range of motion and relieves muscular tension and why what you’ve been doing doesn’t work. AND…then we’ll work on what DOES work! We’ll apply this to Pilates, but, of course, this is applicable to all modalities! (3 NPCP CECS) $180
Archival Arm Strengtheners
While Arm Springs on the Cadillac are wonderful, there are an extraordinary number of exercises Mr. Pilates created on many apparatus to strengthen the shoulder girdle and arms. So many! You’ve likely seen only a few. Let’s work on the Cadillac, Reformer, Wunda Chair, High Chair, Arm Chair/ Baby Chair, Magic Circle, Ped-‐o-‐Pull and Standing Arm Springs...just to begin! Exercises for every level and every body! (3 NPCP CECS) $180
