I'm excited to announce this brand new workshop, Pilates for Osteoporosis, happening next month in London! 🎉

This workshop provides Pilates teachers with an evidence-based framework for safely and effectively working with clients who have osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of bone health, common fracture patterns, and risk factors associated with low bone mineral density. The course emphasizes clinical reasoning and practical application, helping instructors identify which Pilates exercises are appropriate, which require modification, and which should be avoided for this population.

Special focus is placed on posture, spinal alignment, strength training, balance, proprioception, and functional movement strategies that support fracture prevention and long-term independence. Through lecture, discussion, and movement exploration, teachers will leave with practical tools they can immediately apply in both private and group settings while maintaining the integrity of the Pilates method and prioritizing client safety.

This was a fun series we did in one of my Mat Pilates classes during the Bali retreat at last week: Hip Work on the ball.

Not only do you get the strengthening, stretching, and mobility benefits of hip work (similar to the reformer series), but adding the ball fires up your core while releasing your low back. 😍

In my retreat Mat Pilates classes I try to incorporate travel-friendly props like the small inflatable ball, resistance band, and b***y band (all given to each retreat guest as a gift upon arrival).

If this type of class looks as fun and dreamy to you as it actually is, join me on an upcoming Wellness & Adventure retreat!

I am so appreciative of all the kind words everyone has shared about my book. 🥰 Thank you!

If you're a Pilates instructor at any level, teaching group or private sessions, my book (Pilates for Rehabilitation) was created for YOU.

No matter what Pilates training school you went through, clients with injuries will still need your help and guidance.

This book is the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to have a constant reference for what is recommended and not recommended for Pilates clients who have injuries, certain conditions, or are retuning to exercise again after surgery.
