Description

In this workshop, we look at key ways to communicate with male clients so that a mind-body approach to exercise makes sense to them. We zero in on exercise sequences that draw men’s attention and relate to sports and other activities men love. Whether they are weekend warriors, true athletes or back pain sufferers, men have been underrepresented in our classes for too long, missing out on the profound benefits of connecting the mind to the body. We also look at some of the typical physical challenges men face in female-dominated classes and trace these to biomechanical characteristics unique to men.

• Learn how to communicate effectively with men in the Pilates context for optimal results
