Practical Release
A Comprehensive Release Workshop for Movement Educators
- Course is 3 days in English / 4 if a translator is needed
- 21 Hours Domestic / 28 Hours with Translator
- 18 PMA CECs
As any good teacher knows, the intent of the Pilates repertiore is not to get to the most advanced movement form quickly, but to truly embody every single phase of the exercise with ease, grace, and agility. This can only occur when time and effort has been placed in priming the body for movement, and focus is continually placed on the skills behind the work.Stones BalanceRelease work is the first step in helping your clients into successful core training within the Pilates repertoire. In this workshop you will learn how and why various tightness in the body directly lead to compensatory patterning that leaves the body weak, unstable, and vulnerable to injury. You will learn to help your clients break through their typical fitness routine and discover the depth of their strength via increased joint range of motion and kinesthetic accuracy. The simple and easy techniques that you will learn will aid your clients into a more homeostatic baseline and create the step by step process for true change in all of your client’s bodies, ranging from your most advanced athlete, to your therapeutic clientele. This type of tiered approach is what takes your clients from simple shape making in the repertoire, to truly embodying every moment in the movement with complete command and precision.

Vibration Therapy
Course is 2 days in English / 3 if a translator is needed- 14 Hours Domestic / 21 Hours with Translator
- No PMA CECs offered at this time
Vibration is an integral part of how our body responds, refuels and finds homeostasis. Unfortunately, being human in the modern day blocks the natural vibrational frequencies in and around us. Using simple applications with tools such as the Ribbit massager, Tuning forks, Tapping, Sounding and many more we will learn how to bring the body back online to accept and digest these frequencies once more.
This therapy has been shown to positively stimulate nerve receptors, increasing and speeding up the regenerative capacity of our tissue. It gives us information on our center of gravity, maintaining dynamic balance and prepares our tissue to contract to the right degree for the task at hand. The effect on the nervous system and calming the mind is profound. Participants will learn to design exercise regimes for various populations both on the mat and on the Reformer.
The Lower Extremities
Course is 1 day in English / 2 if a translator is needed- 7 Hours Domestic / 14 Hours with Translator
- No PMA CECs offered at this time
What animates humans to move, behave, and react to their environment is a multi faceted, multi layered construct that each person approaches in their own unique manner. The Pilates Studio is the perfect place to set the microscope to observe how people communicate with themselves and the world at large through movement. And the movement we practice the most in the world is walking and for the most part we do it unconsciously until pain or injury sets in. If this innate ability is impaired, our strong exploratory spirit can become stifled, and our wanderlust for the world at large cut off.. Much like the patterning of our DNA, the helical template for our ground movement dynamic is at the foundation of our essential makeup.Ideally walking should be an activity that primes, tunes and nurtures our system. Without this essential human movement the body cannot survive.
In this 2 day workshop we will explore how the foot, ankle, leg, pelvis, spine and ribcage creates the full body spiral that propels us forward with every step. Time will be spent on the anatomy of each of these parts and how they all talk to each other to keep the energy engine of the body working and moving well. Targeted exercises to practice in and out of the studio will be taught to help prevent break down and to rehab from misuse and injury. Come re learn the basic, birth right movement of locomotion that the modern human has forgotten. Your body and your clients body will thank you.
Neck & Shoulders
A study from the Harvard School of Public Health, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Microsoft showed that our constant interaction with screens can place the small, interlocking bones at the top of the spine (the cervical vertebrae) and the neck muscles into an unnatural posture. This can strain muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and spinal discs.
Our work and communication has changed and is often accompanied by , forceful, and habitual motion that creates a lock down through our head , neck, shoulder girdle and ribcage. This creates a sense of restriction, pain, and immobility resulting in a suffocating sensation as well as a pressure breakdown that can cause issues in the gut, pelvis, hips, and lower extremities.
By gaining knowledge of the bodies synchronicity of movement and fullness of participation with every motion and breath we can reinstate the original way our body is suppose to feel and move. By implementing mindfulness techniques along with subtle and full body movements, we can slowly start to loosen the vice we have put on our upper body.
In this workshop you will learn essential assessment sequences designed to determine what actions to take with your clients. Awareness and release/activation sequences involving important structures like the Vertebromanubrial region, the first and second rib, the Scalemes, suboccipitals, SCM, Upper Traps, and Rhomboid minor ( o name a few) will be taught. You will learn mat and equipment exercises to ignite proper head, scapula, humerus, clavicle, and rib motion.
Join Jennifer Gianni for this exciting and very informative workshop. You will learn techniques that you can use to affect amazing changes in your clients right away.
