Scapular Stabilization with Rael Isacowitz - Workshop 1051

This mat-based workshop by Rael Isacowitz will develop the skills you need to counterbalance the effects of long hours spent in office settings and will provide programming designed to support and facilitate a free, mobile, and well-functioning upper body. Core strength has become the focus of many exercise programs today, and justifiably so. However, instructors need to pay equal attention to the muscles of the shoulder girdle and the organization of the head and neck. Topics Covered: • Review the anatomy of the shoulder girdle, neck and head • Explore ways to mobilize the upper thoracic spine in order to achieve proper alignment of head, neck and shoulders • Learn how to incorporate small props such as the foam roller, magic circle and flexi bands into an exercise program • Review optimal body positioning for the Pilates instructor while teaching clients • Learn how to design a home program for both clients and Pilates teachers who want to focus on this area of the body

How do you explain to clients to focus on their core and not use their neck?
