Learn from grandmaster

cynthia lochard

  • Back to the pilates

    As a Pilates enthusiast have you ever experienced the Pilates Method as it was created and taught by Joseph himself?

    As an instructor are you able to look at a client’s body and identify their weaknesses and strengths from their footwork, elephant, or stomach massage on the Reformer?  How about from hundreds, teaser, or neck pull on the mat?

    Bring along a mat or towel and join Cynthia Lochard as she answers these questions and explores the beauty and essence of the Pilates Method.  As a Romana Pilates International Grandmaster Cynthia will deepen your knowledge and allow you to experience the “wow” factor of a balanced body and mind.  Travel back in time and delve into the fundamentals of what was once Contrology – the birthplace of Pilates.

Pain is not the same as injury


Raphael Bender

Most people assume that when something hurts, that means there’s a problem with the tissues, but that is not always the case. It’s possible to have pain without an injury, and in fact the vast majority of low back pain occurs in the absence of any detectable injury to the tissues of the back.

In this presentation, you’ll learn what pain is, why things sometimes hurt, and why they stop hurting. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between pain and injury, and what to do for clients who have pain with no apparent injury.
