Pilates: Honoring the Masters, Making It My Own – A Journey of Application & Inspiration

In this immersive workshop, I’ll take you on a deep dive into the essence of Pilates, blending the wisdom of my mentors with my own unique approach. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to study with some of the most revered minds in Pilates, and through this journey, I’ve developed a method that’s personal, authentic, and adaptable. I’ll share how I’ve transformed the teachings of Pilates greats into a practice that resonates with me—and how you can do the same in your own teaching and practice.

Throughout my 25 years in the industry, I’ve learned the importance of always continuing to grow and evolve. At each stage of my journey, I’ve sought out the right mentor who met my needs at that moment, and I’ll show you how this approach can inspire your own lifelong learning.

Through this workshop, you'll gain invaluable expressions, cues, hands-on techniques, and philosophies that have inspired me to evolve my own style. I’ll show you how to take these powerful lessons and make them your own to deepen your practice, teach with more confidence, and inspire your students to connect more deeply with the work ~ Rachael

Seeing Well: What Do You See, What Do You Need to See, and How Do You Get There?                 -                    

“The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.” -Sir William Osler                 -

Understanding the centrality of seeing in our role as instructors helps us recognize that our visual attention is fundamental to cueing our clients efficiently and effectively. Thinking carefully and critically about how we see is a vital, if invisible, part of our practice. In this interactive workshop, we will explore how to hone your observational skills, with a focus on what you are seeing and why it matters. Together, we’ll break down various elements of visual analysis and discuss how to direct our attention so that we can cue more effectively, anticipate needs, and offer meaningful adjustments for maximum impact.

Beyond Choreography: Exploring the Conditions of Control

In this follow-up to Beyond Choreography: The Conditions of Control, we’ll investigate a set of universal yet invisible tenets that lie at the heart of the classical Pilates system. For teachers who are interested in looking deeper, this workshop explores different ways of contextualizing the exercises, not by virtue of their external resemblance (shape, movement, apparatus, level) (but by asserting or identifying a consistent pattern of paired biomechanical challenges that define Pilates as an integrated system. This interactive session examines and unpacks these patterns offering a structured approach to producing more effective, impactful teaching.

Whole Body, Whole Being: Navigating the Complexities of Teaching Pilates with Clarity, Compassion, and Boundaries presented through 3 Case Studies

• The Physical Body — A live, in-person body assessment.

• The Fragile Psyche — Supporting emotionally sensitive clients within scope.

• The “Difficult” Client — Late cancels, non-payment, crossed boundaries—we’ll unpack it all.

In the modern Pilates studio, instructors are often called to be more than just movement guides—they become steady presences in the lives of clients facing physical discomfort, emotional fatigue, and real-life challenges. But how do we support the whole person while staying grounded in our role as movement professionals?

This continuing education workshop invites you into a full-spectrum exploration of the Pilates teacher’s unique position at the intersection of body, mind, and spirit. Using a case study approach, we’ll dive into the realities of working with clients who present complex physical limitations, emotional intensity, or energetic overwhelm.

We’ll explore how to meet these challenges with clarity and heart—without stepping outside our professional scope. You’ll walk away with practical strategies for working with physical misalignments and chronic conditions, nurturing the spirit through presence and programming, and holding firm (and kind) boundaries around money, time, and studio policies.

Whether you’re a new teacher or a seasoned pro, this workshop will help you refine your approach to complex client relationships, support your own energetic sustainability, and deepen your capacity to lead with integrity and ease.
