Peak Performance Pilates

Immersion™ Pilates Aquatics School™ will run it’s pioneering first course for Pilates Teachers to teach the Immersion™ Pilates Aquatics™ repertoire.  Be a pioneer!  Join us in September, 2015 in the East Bay. For information contact Jennifer info@peakperformancepilates.com 

Following Joseph Pilates’ philosophy to “Never fail to get all the sunshine and fresh air you can”, Jennifer Stacey has created the Immersion™ Pilates Aquatics™ School to educate teachers on teaching the Classic Pilates repertoire in the water, using a patent pending device she invented. It is fun, challenging and supportive!  Imagine carrying the entire line of Pilates’ apparatus in a duffle bag and performing the Classic Repertoire in the sunshine? Jennifer is thoroughly enjoying playing with this new device, working on the repertoire, getting a deep workout in her abdominals, hips and shoulders. It is so exhilarating being able to perform the entire advanced Classic Pilates work, and gymnastics’ skills while challenging the center and supporting the body (it is appropriate for beginners and people with injuries as well). …. Stay tuned! There will be manuals, dvds and a Teacher’s education program.

It is nice to see the information that is in Movement Perspectives and my workshops.  Read on!  https://lifespa.com/15-benefits-nose-breathing-exercise/

Jennifer Stacey, MS will be teaching a workshop at the PMA conference in Denver, CO, Thursday, Nov. 5th @ 3:45 pm. Pilates from the Wings: The power of the Serape and scapular muscles through the alignment of the arm and hand.  

Discover the secret to moving from your wings and Serape. Effectively use the two “centers” to enhance performance, prevent and address injuries, back and neck problems. Align your arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand and fingers to connect to the armpit and wings while performing Pilates on the Mat and various apparatus.

There are two centers of the body: The cylinder of the trunk and the lower scapular area (“wings”). To recruit the main center (the cylinder) you have to recruit the wings. To recruit the wings you need to align the upper limb. The key to recruiting the trunk and wing centers is correct alignment of the fingers, hand, wrist, forearm, elbow and shoulder.

Learn proper hand placement on The Pilates Mat, barres, pedal, handles and straps to promote efficient and centered movement. This enhances performance and places less stress upon the back, neck, shoulders and wrists.

Stay tuned!

I highly recommend Dr. Doidge’s books: The Brain that changes itself.  The Brain’s Way of Healing.  Pilates also works with the neuro-re-education.  That is why it works!
