Posts Tagged ‘pilates method’How to Find a Great Pilates TeacherBy Aliesa GeorgeMonday, May 12th, 2008 I’m frequently asked for referrals from people across the country (and the world) in search of a Great Pilates Teacher or Pilates Studio that they can check out and take Private Pilates lessons and join group Mat and Pilates equipment classes. Here are a few frequently asked questions, and Five Tips to find a Great Pilates Teacher near you: Pilates Training and Peripheral AtrophyBy Aliesa GeorgeMonday, May 12th, 2008 I recieved this question about Pilates training by email today, thought it relevant for a blog posting: Question: Is Pilates appropriate for someone with peripheral atrophy? Balancing is becoming more & more difficult so yoga is no longer an option. If appropriate, please tell me where I might find a certified teacher/instructor. Please advise. Answer: I do not feel it’s appropriate for me to answer this with a specific yes, or no – because I’m out of my scope of practice to recommend Pilates for a specific person, with a specific medical issue. (Especially someone I’ve never seen or worked with!) However, here are my personal thoughts on the subject: Opening the Ribcage for More Lift in Spine ExtensionBy Aliesa GeorgeMonday, April 21st, 2008 I’m always experimenting with cues to help find good images that my clients can associate with while they’re moving through their workouts. When I can associate a relatable picture to proper body position and movements - I usually get great execution of each Pilates exercise. Here’s my new cue of the week for improving Spine Extension. Improving Posture with PilatesBy Aliesa GeorgeSaturday, March 22nd, 2008 Just a quick thought… While improving posture may or may not be on the list of goals Pilates participants, it might be because posture improvement isn’t what they want, but rather the BENEFITS of correcting bad posture, which include: Reduced back and neck pain, less stress on all the body’s joints (spine, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles), easier breathing in daily life & sport activities, shoulders that are no longer wrapped around the ears, ease of movement for daily living - walking, stairs, standing, sitting in front of the computer, driving, enhanced recreational & sports performance, and reduced risk of injury. |  Aliesa R.
