Pilates for Fatique & Pain
About this Workshop:
This online workshop is a rich exploration of how we can best support both our clients who are affected by ME/CFS, as well as potentially ourselves; teachers who struggle with this condition.
Stephen Porges’s polyvagal theory helps us gain a clearer understanding of how the nervous system works and informs our approaches of how we support clients, using practical somatic explorations we will test out and discuss in the workshop.
This trauma-informed approach to teaching Pilates is also highly relevant for clients with
other complex syndromes, such as Fibromyalgia and Long Covid.
How to support Clients with ME/CFS
A 3 1/2 hour Workshop for Pilates & other Movement Teachers. Delivered for Polestar Pilates UK.
Grounding in Motion
About this Workshop:
Grounding is a fundamental principle in Somatic Movement Practice. It is a simple yet powerful tool to promote embodiment and to settle our nervous system into a state in which we are comfortable, aware and moving more freely.
In this online workshop we will ground through a variety of experimental movement strategies that will allow us to explore our Pilates repertoire in a deeply supported, embodied and more effortless way.

Intro to Somatic Movement
About this Class:
Somatic Movement Practice promotes awareness of the internal experience of movement over external appearance or generic technique. The goal is to utilise our nervous system to organically develop understanding, resources and strategies from the inside out that inform how we engage with our body and the world around us.

Anatomy & Physiology
About this Course:
It is designed for those planning to undergo Pilates teacher training who have no pre-existing anatomy knowledge. It is also suitable for students and graduates who feel they lack this fundamental understanding, or would like to revisit the basics of the skeletal and muscular systems and their relevance to movement.
Unlike many anatomy courses, this is specifically designed for prospective Pilates teachers and movement professionals. You will learn about the human body and it’s relevance within the scope of the
Pilates teachers practice.
