PILATES BODY – YOGA MIND: An Introduction to Yogilates Workshop (10 hours over 2 days)
Learn the powerful, transformative practice of Yogilates from its creator, Jonathan Urla. Integrating spirit and function, Jonathan will demonstrate the synergy of hatha yoga and Pilates, and how optimal fitness of mind and body can be achieved by anyone, regardless of ability or age.
Beginning with awareness, we can recognize the inherent potential and wisdom of our body to change old habits and develop new abilities. Yogilates uses breathwork, visualizations, and universal principles of biomechanics to teach you how to tap into the "hidden powerhouse" of Pilates for greater control and strength in all activities, while simultaneously nurturing the "beginners mind" of yoga, as well as centering and grounding techniques. In this introductory workshop, we will utilize the yoga strap and block to improve mobility, flexibility, stability, and overall efficiency of movement. Informative and inspirational handouts for take home are provided, and ample time is allowed for questions and individual needs.
