Dr. Ada Wells: From the Ground Up: Training Your Golfers in 3D - Pilates Pro Workshop (10am – 12pm)
Golf (and life) is a rotational sport that takes us through all the planes of movement and at
end ranges where mobility, control, and coordination are tested. The Oov® is a unique
device that allows us to train the body in multiple areas, in multiple planes of motion, and in
multiple orientations of gravity without the limitation of a flat surface. The Pilates Arc® is
also a valuable and durable tool for assisting with mobilizing and training golfers in a non-
intimidating way.
In this workshop, we’ll break down the key areas that golfers need in their swing, relate these
areas to different phases of their swing (so you can properly “speak golf” to them), and then
use the Oov® and Pilates Arc® to address these areas in a systematic way. By the end of the
workshop, you’ll understand why these are excellent tools to use with your athletes or
anytime you’re looking to incorporate more of a 3-Dimensional approach to your session.
Elena Bartley: How to Use the Pilates Arc Effectively for All Levels - Pilates Pro Workshop (1pm – 3pm)
Discover how to incorporate the Pilates Arc® into your teaching for clients of all levels. This workshop follows the Back to Life sequence using the Pilates Arc + Classical Mat to enhance alignment, strength, and flow.
Explore effective modifications, progressions, and cueing techniques to make the Arc a valuable tool for support and challenge. Perfect for instructors looking to expand their teaching repertoire with this versatile prop.
Includes a Q&A to bust myths and reveal the truths of Classical Pilates.
Angelie Melzer: Mirroring: An introduction to Scoliosis - Pilates Pro Workshop (3:30pm – 5:30pm)
In this 2-hour course, participants will:
- Define scoliosis and the unique physical challenges it presents, including structural imbalances, muscular compensations, and postural deviations.
- Explore the role of the Central Nervous System (CNS) in scoliosis, understanding how sensory input, motor output, and proprioception impact the body’s movement patterns.
- Discover the concept of Mirroring, and how this method of reflective movement assists the CNS in re-educating the body toward balance, awareness, and improved function.
- Examine manual and tactile cueing strategies through video demonstrations that highlight hands-on techniques for guiding clients with scoliosis.
- Introduce Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a groundbreaking approach to body-mind integration, offering a compassionate lens through which to engage with the internal dialogue scoliosis clients may experience.
Whether you’re a movement professional seeking new tools or a practitioner wanting to better understand the scoliosis experience, this workshop offers a unique blend of biomechanics, neuroscience, and somatic psychology.

Nancy Myers: Fabulous Feet - Pilates Pro Workshop (3:30 pm – 5:30 pm)
With this workshop, you will learn through information and experience your feet are meant to support and transport you, with releases and exercises that strengthen the ankles, arches and toes, common foot problems and corrective protocols.
Our feet ground us, providing a dynamic base of support for balance while standing and propel us forward to walk, run and jump. The average active person takes 10,000 steps per day. If each step is misaligned, stress on the joints can cause pain throughout the body. A familiar saying: “If your feet hurt, you hurt all over”.
Foot kit may be purchased for an additional $25usd (500p) and all other foot products may be purchased through BB retail at www.pilates.com
