This workshop will look at how to integrate specific Pilates exercise - using the Reformer, Spine Corrector, Wunda Chair, and some small apparatus - to benefit athletes. We will address preventing common injuries (and what those injuries are), important muscle groups, and Pilates benefits for specific athletes and sports.
