BOOK

Did you know every single Pilates exercise involves not only abdominals, but gluteals as well? In this workshop we will play with set up, execution, efficient cues including hands on feedback, in order to maximise the posterior chain.

We will discuss also biomechanics and creating movements scenarios where the gluteals are firing naturally without squeezing or gripping. Tips and tricks for your clients with lazy backlines to promote strength, flexibility and power.

This will take place in our Marylebone studio on Saturday 28th of March from 3-6pm.

Teacher Profile

Willemina Schurer

Passionate about all sport and interested in biomechanics, I completed my graduate research at The Children’s Exercise and Nutrition Centre in Canada. I discovered Pilates years later, an “aha” moment, finding a method which combines good mechanics with the Pilates principles – including my personal favourites of precision, control and breathing.

I have trained in both contemporary and classical systems, under the guidance and wonderful mentorships of Lisa Bradshaw, Shari Berkowitz and Brooke Siler. I am currently a guest teacher at Apex2100, an international ski racing academy.

I love guiding clients in their Pilates journey to find their internal ‘push and pulls’, creating strong and confident bodies with great posture. Seeing the happiness clients earn from Pilates, be it injury recovery or just moving their bodies, is my biggest reward.
