Kim Gibilisco is well known amongst those who attended the 2017 Polestar seminar in Bali, where she was very popular with the participants. Back again for the 2018 Polestar Pilates Asia Winter Seminar, Kim will be presenting 2 of her most popular and relevant workshops:
Biscuits to Bananas calls upon the dancer terminology of taking a rigid foot, aka “a biscuit”, and transforming it into a strong, mobile foot, “a banana”. Appropriate for all levels of movers, this workshop is designed to make foot/ankle mobility techniques developed by professional dancers more accessible to people from all walks of life. Emphasis will be placed on how Pilates exercises can influence asymmetries. Students will refine their interpretation skills appropriate for their scope of practice and how to apply this information to design a safe and effective program or when to refer the client to the appropriate care provider.
Hip Me with your best shot is designed to enhance your understanding of the various challenges encountered, as well as viable solutions, when working with clients with labral pathologies. Utilizing Pilates mat and equipment, participants of this workshop will understand the rationale behind re-education strategies using the Pilates repertoire and apparatus. This workshop is appropriate for Pilates Practitioners, Physical Therapists, and healthcare professionals.
If you attended the 2017 Winter Seminar, Lisa Anthony will be a familiar face! Lisa is returning after many requests for her to present again, and will be leading her popular 1-day workshop on the Thorax.
With recent advances in both scientific research and physiotherapy, the role of the thorax in whole body movement has shifted. Previously only thought of as a rigid spinal area to protect the underlying viscera, the thorax is now known to be a highly mobile, flexible region of the body playing a fundamental role in shock absorption, whole body alignment, and abdominal muscle recruitment. In this workshop the Pilates instructor will learn:
- the anatomy and osteokinematics of the thorax
- the function of the thorax in whole body movement
- mechanisms of thoracic mobility and dynamic stability
- the role of this region as the body’s centre of rotation
- how to assess the thorax for alignment function, mobility, and control
- effective cueing to facilitate recruitment of the deep controlling mechanisms of the thorax for optimal mobility and control
- positional release techniques in the Pilates studio to decompress the thorax to promote successful whole body movement in a Pilates session.
Register now by contacting info@polestarjapan.org and including your name, student number and whether you'd like to attend Saturday only, Sunday only, or the full 2 day seminar. We hope to see all of you there!
