Brett Miller Weekend - September 2019
The Building Blocks of Pilates
In this workshop, Brett teaches here a series of simple, but by no means trivial exercises, which demonstrate different dynamics that are necessary to understand in order to be sensitive to the deeper aspects of the works.
Get Your Chair On
In this workshop we go through a series of chair exercises – known and not so known – with the aim of finding more depth in them. Most importantly gaining knowledge about support from the center of the body while stretching the outer limbs away. Length, strength, balance and ease will be the result.
Advanced Mat Exercises
Advanced Pilates mat exercises, such as Boomerang, Control Balance, Rocking, and the full version of Swan Dive. Exercises such as these are challenging and invigorating. Brett provides valuable direction and cueing, reinforcing it with skilled tactile feedback.
Dynamic Reformer
One of the unique aspects of Pilates when compared to other exercise forms, is the required attention to detail and the development of inner dynamic.
