ZOOM FACE TO FACE Online Session
We are so excited that Emily from Build & Breathe Pilates has joined our team to be a Tutor on our upcoming ZOOM FACE TO FACE COURSES.
Emily has an enormous wealth of knowledge about Scoliosis.
Emily was first introduced to Pilates to compliment her rehab from spinal fusion surgery to correct scoliosis. She gained her Level 3 Mat-work Pilates qualification to better understand her own body and give her the confidence to get back to being active and strong. Since qualifying, Emily has undertaken further training in Pilates for Scoliosis and Pilates for Spinal Surgery.
This has in turn allowed Emily to help others with a wide range of conditions – especially those with fused spines as Emily understands the potential anxiety from not being able to join in with other gym classes, and the struggle to gain confidence post surgery.
Our physical and mental health is intertwined and the link is too important to ignore. Pilates is a great way to take control and build both strength and resilience – Emily loves working to help clients who are on a similar journey, growing their ability and connecting with their body.
What people are saying about our course…
I can't think of any improvements! It has been a fantastic course and I have learnt so much. Em has been informative, approachable, knowledgeable and just all round-fab and I have loved meeting others on the course and sharing our experiences. I really enjoyed the practical and feel this course will help me so much in my own practice and when training others during sessions. :) Thank you so much!
Keep up with a great work, the course provided great knowledge but also fantastic emotional support to many participants.
I really enjoyed it all :) Thank you! A nice mixture of discussion, peoples experiences and practical :) the course has been fantastic- Em is a really talented teacher, she is very patient and listens well and it was a pleasure to be taught by her
Overall amazing first session! Thank you all so much for helping fill such a needed space!
One of the great things from the course was the opportunity to share stories and experiences with others. I know that (a member of the group) set up a Facebook group which is really great. In a face to face environment I think we may all well have gone to the pub or a cafe after the course to carry on the chat and this could be really great for future flare ups/questions etc - feeling that connection with others in the same or similar position. If the course were to run again online then I wonder if you could offer the option for people to stay on the call after the formal workshop to just have a little chat afterwards maybe.
A really great course and I feel much better informed about how to work with fused clients now. Thank you all :)
