Masterclass: The Creative Yoga Block in Pilates
Elevate Your Classes with the Most Humble (and Accessible) Prop!
Calling all Pilates Teachers! Are you looking for ways to keep your classes fresh, challenging, and inclusive without breaking the bank on new equipment?
Join me for this one-hour masterclass dedicated entirely to the yoga block. Often overlooked as “just for yoga,” the block is an incredible tool for intensifying core engagement, improving postural alignment, and offering creative modifications for every body.
What We’ll Explore:
Tactile Feedback: Use the block to create immediate “aha!” moments for your students, especially in pelvic placement and scapular stability.
Discover how to use the block to create instability, add a “burn” or enhance stability.
As teachers, we are always looking for ways to stand out and provide value. This workshop gives you a full “toolkit” of ideas you can implement in your very next class—all using a prop most studios already have or that students can easily buy for home use.
