Continuing Education Workshops
AQUALATES® Pool-to-Studio
Most AQUALATES® exercises originate from the Pilates studio and encompass
exercises from all pieces of apparatus, as well as the mat. In this "Translation" workshop we will examine
and discuss the biomechanical differences between strength-building exercises
in the Pilates Studio and Aquatic training venues, as participants are given an opportunity to experience corresponding Pilates exercises on the
Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrels. For those with aquatic certifications other
than AQUALATES®, this workshop is filled with ideas for expanding upon your current strength
& tone workouts.

Anatomy & Biomechanics Review
Review musculoskeletal anatomy and discuss biomechanics of movement including:
- planes of motion
- anatomical direction
- types and actions of joints
- muscular origin, insertion, and action
- difference between deep stabilizers and global movers
- antagonist vs. antagonist muscular engagement as it pertains to specific motion, weight, and gravitational pull
- concentric vs. eccentric muscular engagement as it pertains to specific motion, weight, and gravitational pull

Posture Assessment
Review postural theory and learn to define postural
deficiencies
as defined by Florence Peterson Kendall and Elizabeth Kendall McCreary. Upon completion of this lecture/workshop, participants will be able to:
- define neutral posture, define postural deviations
- perform a postural assessment based upon the position of specific joints from lateral, posterior, and anterior viewpoints
- understand the correlation between muscle length and muscle weakness/shortness
- learn how to counterbalance postural deficiencies
