Supplement your Pilates education! Pilates workshops at the Dunedin Pilates Studio feature Pilates exercises to enhance your Pilates classes!
Pilates with the Small Ball
We LOVE this ball and its versatility! Have a ball with this innocent looking, yet deceptively challenging prop
that will have you working with more intensity and vigor! The ball helps activate the inner thighs, provides a
challenge for lower abdominal work and brings awareness to shoulder girdle stabilization. Best of all, it
inflates and deflates in seconds AND takes up no space, making it an ideal at-home prop or even travel
companion. Learn over 45 exercises and variations in this workshop. Each attendee will receive one small
ball, with the option to buy additional balls at a discount. Enjoy new ways to challenge yourself and your
clients with this total body workout!
Next Workshop: Friday, November 18th, 4-7 p.m.
Fairway Pilates
Yes! Pilates helps golfers! This workshop will teach you the basics of the golf swing, as well as what muscles are involved. We’ll identify specific needs of golfers, and how you can help them take their game to the next level. In emphasis will be placed on core strength and posture. Each attendee will receive a guide book to Fairway Pilates.
Next Workshop: Friday, December 2nd, 4-7 p.m.
Ball Trio Blast
Are your clients still going to a gym when you would like to keep them coming to you? Learn how to add
balance training, superior core training, heightened resistance training, reactive training and power training
to your Pilates mat workouts with this all encompassing workshop! Traditional Pilates Mat exercises focus
mainly on core training, and yet all populations, from athletes to the elderly can benefit from the
incorporation of the many types of training in their exercise regime. With the small ball, weighted ball and stability ball, students will learn over 60 exercises to strengthen & challenge their clients, regardless of fitness level or age. The bevy of balls provides a unique way to present a myriad of training styles, all in the comfort of a Pilates studio.
Exercises will be broken down into both level and training category for maximum programming
effectiveness.
Next Workshop: Friday, December 16th, 4-8 p.m.

Foam roller
The foam roller and core challenge roller are fantastic for myofascial release (tight IT Band, anyone?), but that’s certainly not all! Pilates exercises with the foam roller and core challenge roller offer a unique way to target core stabilizers, tap into muscles you might forget to use and introduce variety to your mat class. The foam roller and core challenge roller can also be used to simulate some Reformer and Cadillac exercises.
In this workshop students will learn over 12 myofascial release techniques and 30 Pilates exercises using
these teaching tools to integrate into a beautifully balanced and complete workout.
