Explore the Original Movements of Joseph Pilates: Exclusive Workshop Series
The archival Pilates exercises represent some of the earliest, original movements created by Joseph Pilates that are rarely taught or practiced today. These exercises offer a glimpse into the foundational principles of Pilates as Joe himself envisioned them, providing valuable insight into the evolution of the method over the decades. For instructors, mastering these rarely seen movements on the Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda Chair is not just about expanding your repertoire, but also about deepening your understanding of the origins and philosophy behind the method. The upcoming workshop series with lead trainer Juan Estrada offers an exciting opportunity to explore these advanced sequences in a live, interactive setting.
Learning and teaching archival exercises is crucial for trainers who want to maintain the integrity of the Classical Pilates method. The original sequences offer unique challenges and variations that are often lost in modern interpretations, making them important for both preserving Pilates' legacy and providing students with a richer, more varied practice. By understanding these foundational exercises, instructors gain a deeper appreciation for the underlying mechanics and therapeutic benefits that Joseph Pilates intended, which can then be adapted to meet individual client needs more effectively.
For graduates of the Real Pilates Teacher Training program, this workshop series is an invitation to elevate your teaching skills and distinguish yourself as a truly comprehensive instructor. Juan Estrada will guide participants through each archival movement, helping them uncover how these exercises can be applied in today's practice while retaining their original spirit. Whether attending one workshop or all three, you will gain invaluable insights that can not only enhance your own practice but also enrich the experience you deliver to your clients.
