PLTS+
For Pilates instructors and the people who teach beside them.

Four workshops in Austin
The Pilates Career Center
Holly Swanson
The business side your certification skipped: auditions, negotiating your pay and the numbers to track, worked through in a workbook, then a Q and A.
Mat Pilates Fusion
Madeleine Conti
Pilates beyond the mat in three parts: kettlebell foundations, bridging and core, then standing work inspired by Animal Flow.
How to reduce neck and shoulder pain in Pilates
Dr. Morgan Rodriguez
How thoracic mobility, shoulder mechanics and neck muscle balance cause the pain, and the cues, regressions and progressions that help in class.
Beyond the Inhale/Exhale: breath mechanics and posture
Holly Swanson
Around the workshops: a Pilates mat class, a networking lunch and a happy hour with a vendor village. A virtual follow-up with Holly Swanson on business and anatomy was planned for a month later.
