Workshops & Teacher Mentoring
WORKSHOP
Embody Your Anatomy
Embody Your Anatomy is a completely different approach to learning anatomy. In this workshop we will explore the human form from a whole body perspective. This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn more about their body.
We will learn about the anatomical layers of the body, focusing on relationships between these layers, followed by a guided movement session where we explore the felt sense of these layers in our own bodies. I welcome your curiosity as I invite you into a deeper sense of your physical form, feeling and moving each layer in turn.
We will finish with a meditation to reintegrate and create a sense of wholeness. There will be time for questions, reflections and sharing. Everyone is welcome to move as they please. No previous experience required - anatomy is for everyone!
You don't need to memorize complicated words or locations of muscles and bones. This is NOT your typical, boring approach to learning anatomy! Knowing ourselves more deeply is not about asking our brains to memorize more information - it's about cultivating a deeper sense of self, self ownership and agency in our bodies.

WORKSHOP
Anatomy of the Female Pelvis
Arousal, pleasure and embodiment
My mission is to demystify female pelvic anatomy, empower you with accurate knowledge of your own body, and inspire you to explore and embody your arousal and pleasure in a new way.
“Female” refers to anatomical parts (vulva, vagina, uterus, clitoris, etc) and is not a reflection of gender. This workshop is for anyone with female anatomy. All genders welcome!

Pilates Teacher Mentoring
I believe that Pilates can be a wonderful tool in helping our clients feel embodied, strong and confident in their movement. Especially when we learn to think critically about how each individual client in front of us is experiencing this movement.
I want to help you see your clients with increased clarity. This means being able to discern if the movement is benefitting them, if it's the right level for them to be working at, and if they are engaged in an embodied way rather than simply “going through the motions" or "following the rules."
Seeing your clients with clarity means seeing the movement from their point of view, and tailoring the options you give them to their needs and priorities, rather than your desires as a teacher. While it is absolutely our job as teachers to hold the potential for healing and growth for our clients, it is not our job to project our expectations onto our clients. It is the client's job to hold their own priorities for their own bodies.
Embodiment is about educated choice. It's about knowing oneself, one's challenge points and one's boundaries and exploring movement that feels good and empowering.
Giving your clients anatomically correct cues enables a much deeper connection to the movement, and allows you as a teacher to feel more confident in the cues you are giving. Come learn the anatomical ins and outs of the exercises you teach!
I'm so excited to help you evolve as a teacher!
Join us for inspiration and exploration in community with other Pilates teachers!
Are you feeling stagnant in your teaching practice? Are you frustrated that your clients aren’t making more progress? Do you teach on your own and want to connect with other teachers? Do you have questions about anatomy or teaching specific exercises?
