"Josie has a lovely manner, very knowledgeable, technically amazing and gives you lots of ideas! Love all her courses!"

This is the latest in my series of Pilates with Props. It is CPDaccredited and carries 5 points. As always, the course starts with a series of workshops to explore the possible ways of applying the band to the classical mat exercises. The variations are all functional and user friendly so that you can take them into your classes immediately. The course finishes with a 60 minutes Resistance Band Masterclass to demonstrate how you can build an entire class using the resistance band to help challenge and add a new dimension to Pilates.

Sections include:-

• Standing upper body exercises

• Classical warm up

• Supine core series

• Flexion

• Extension

• Planks

and much more.
