A DAYS JOURNEY WITH THE MASTER ELDER TEACHERS:
Bruce King, Carola Trier, Eve Gentry + Ron Fletcher, Kathy Grant, Romana Kryzanowska.
This course includes Matwork and all equipment.
Kathy’s description: I have been very fortunate in my Pilates career to have spent time with all the Master Teachers that studied with Joseph Pilates and my knowledge is a gift from each of them. In the early 1990’s, I became the publicity director for the Institute for the Pilates method and my job was to interview and work with these incredible teachers. I got to learn what and how Joe taught each of them and their personal and professional journeys with the Pilates technique. This is the foundation of this course. Each Master teacher — Bruce King, Carola Trier, Eve Gentry, Ron Fletcher, Kathy Grant, Romana Kryzanowska. I will present their incredible knowledge and individual styles of the Pilates Method through this course. We will focus more on Bruce King, Carola Trier and Eve Gentry.
I feel a tremendous responsibility to Joe, Clara and all the Master Teachers who shared their work so openly. If I can help teachers understand the depth and power of the Pilates Method, not just through the exercises, but through the principles of Pilates, I feel I am making a contribution to honor our heritage and link us to the future of the method. The future is in the hands of the students in my classes. If I can help them in their journey, I will have accomplished my goals as a teacher.

Jennifer M Stacey, MS is excited to be teaching:
To Stretch or Squish?: Recognizing the Stretch Reflex: How to deal with it and use it to our advantage in Pilates at the Pilates Method Alliance conference in October 28, 8:15 – 10:15 am in Indian Wells, California. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6310819913271431168
Instantly access your centers and release hypertonic muscles!
Is stretching appropriate? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Did your back ever spasm after you stretched it? Do you feel ‘guarding’ in the area of an injury? Welcome to the stretch reflex! The stretch reflex often makes it difficult to recover from injury and bad posture, as it can vary day to day.
The stretch reflex can also be beneficial if we use it in the correct manner. In Pilates, the stretch reflex is involved with animating the center through proper biomechanics, side back breathing and reaching the limbs long through space. Using imagery such as “When in doubt reach out” “reach the wall” or “opposition” often results in automatic recruitment of the two centers of the body. It is the key to allowing functional interaction of the various fascial and muscular interconnections, synergies and slings. We can optimize our relationship with gravity and enhance performance through the use of these interactions.
Once you know how to recognize and deal with the reflex, you can enhance mobility, flexibility, function and performance.
Learn how to magically address problems and enhance Pilates’ performance immediately in this fun, transformative class.

Sunday, March 12, 12 – 3 pm: “Opening the lower back ribs and the pelvis and “scoop” will follow. Lead with the lungs and honor the psoas in Pilates.”
Raisa Punkki. Teaser.
What is the secret to moving from the deep center? How can you perform The Hundred, The Nasty Five and The Teaser with a flat stomach, and a neck free of tension? How do you perform the Footwork and Leg Springs with proper pelvic and spinal alignment? Releasing the lower back ribs! You will perform Pilates on all of the apparatus, and skills inspired from Moshe Feldenkrais® and Physio-Synthesis® that free the ribs. Experience a profound transformation of your posture and movement, freedom in your neck, back, hips and legs. Releasing the lower back ribs (thoracolumbar region) allows the body to optimally perform Pilates and movement with a free neck, a flat stomach, aligned pelvis, hips, spine and rib cage. Use the posterior lateral breathing to stabilize, mobilize and suspend your spine and ribs.
Perform ‘psoas friendly’ biomechanics by fixing the origins of the psoas during movement. The role of spinal and rib placement for optimal psoas function for safely and efficiently performing Pilates, movement and sports. You will quickly learn to perform Pilates skills properly and easily. Your posture, breathing and performance will be dramatically enhanced. Releasing the rib cage is effective at addressing and preventing injury, especially to the neck and back. Testimonial from the workshop in London, 2014: “Thank you for one of the most informative and well taught workshops.”
Sunday, April 30, 12 – 3 pm: “The Power of the Wings through the Serape and arm alignment.”
Pilates from the Wings: Finding the Center and Wings through alignment of the Arm, Elbow, Forearm, Wrist and Hand in Pilates and movement. Discover the Power of the Scapular Muscles and Serape. Release the neck and shoulders.
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.
Sunday, June 4, 12 – 3 pm: “Addressing bunions (hallux valgus) with Pilates”.
Addressing bunions (hallux valgus), foot, ankle, knee and hip alignment with Pilates, and concepts from Moshe Feldenkrais(r) and Physio-synthesis(r). Align the foot, lower limb and hip and free the lower back. Includes the Toe Corrector work.
More Sundays, 12 – 3 pm dates and details will be added. Topics will include the following:

Past workshops:
Jennifer Stacey, MS was honored to teach an intriguing class “To stretch or not to stretch? Recognizing the Stretch reflex; how to approach it, and use it to our advantage in Dance and Pilates” at the 25th Annual meeting of the International Association of Dance Medicine and Science in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, October 9-11, 2015.
Jennifer Stacey, MS taught 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.
