Description

My goals for mentoring the well trained and experienced Pilates instructor are specific to running a successful, nurturing, well maintained and respected studio. I take pride in working with professionals and supporting them in their efforts to improve and grow as instructors of the Pilates method. I guide my apprentices to heightened awareness's of full body mechanics. We will approach the work with varying conditions; temperaments, handicaps, age and physical limitations. I will address "curb appeal". Curb appeal is crucial to operating and maintaining an environment that has integrity, up to date knowledge of body and kinetics, and a studio that is at the top in expertise, care and first rate service. I will personally mentor the students in these areas as well as focus on in depth work on full apparatus, mat work and specialized exercises. Apprentices will have time for "hands on" practice with selected personal clients and J.L. Body Conditioning staff members.

My 33 years of experience practicing and teaching Pilates involves working with numerous teachers that have given me an exceptionally broad and unique outlook and practice of the Pilates work. I am dedicated to the original work as I continually find new and helpful ways of maximizing the work to enhance present day life styles. My vast experience working with re habilitating clients, stroke victims, professional athletes and exercise enthusiasts allows me to adapt the basics of the Pilates method and use it to best help my clients. It is my many years of experience, passion for the work and my consistent delving into the work to discover "new" work that I believe makes my teaching valuable and distinctive.

My Pilates education stems from the 1970's with Alan Herdman to mentoring with Corola Trier and working alongside Deborah Lessen in the 1980's. My training and professional dance career from 1978- 1990 gave me a first hand and an in depth knowledge of the anatomy and kinesiology of the body. I am continually working a busy schedule with clients and have always personally worked myself through injuries, surgery rehabilitation and maintained physical and mental well being with the Pilates Method. I work closely and continually meet with physical therapists, acupuncturists and surgeons; allowing for greater understanding of the body.

I expect that my students will attend all pre scheduled classes. Students will come to classes fully prepared to actively participate in all aspects of the class; practicing exercise, note taking, and pedagogy (teaching techniques). Students are encouraged to journal as they work through new ideas in their own teaching and then be able to have discussion on what is taking place in their own development as Pilates teachers. All students will complete the course by teaching one full private session and one group session, while being observed and critiqued by fellow students and myself.

Pilates certification, three years of training experience and an interview with Julian are required for participation in JL Body Conditioning mentoring workshops.
