Powerhouse of the Upper Girdle

The workshop is devoted to understanding and implementing correct mechanics of the shoulder girdle using the Pilates repertoire. Appropriate mechanics and immaculate control of the shoulder are essential, particularly when performing the higher-level work. The constant involvement of the shoulder region in everyday activities highlights the importance of the upper girdle and the potential problems emanating from it. Shoulder-related problems are among those most frequently reported by clients, and cues relating to the shoulders are among the most commonly used by Pilates teachers. This subject is one that needs to be addressed, learned and re-learned on a regular basis.
