intense international tours through Europe, Asia,
North and South America, Jean-Claude suffered a serious knee injury that forced him to interrupt his career. In this difficult period of life he
learned the Pilates method.
He was so enthusiastic about the positive results of
the training that he decided to put all his energy
into a two-year study of the Authentic Pilates
Method. He began his training in The Hague
with Marjorie Oron and worked with Romana
Krysanowska, Sari Meija Santo, Sabina Formichella, Philippe Taupin among others.
He received his diploma in 2006 from the internationally renowned master teacher Romana Krysanowska (True Pilates New York, Roma´s Pilates).

a freelance artist and independent Pilates instructor. He also taught Pilates in Monaco, Lyon, The

WORKSHOPS

FRIDAY 27/SATURDAY 28 MAY
Group working: Each participant will be assign a group (1h30 workshop)
Sandy Shimoda:
Alisa Wyatt:
Gloria Gasperi:
The Cadillac is one of the most
beloved pieces of equipment that
Joe Pilates invented. Many of us
practice the exercises that make use
of the bed of the Cadillac, but not the
ones that don´t.
Join Sandy to review and learn new
exercises that work the back connection,
the seat connection, and the two-way-stretch off the ends of the Cadillac.
The details that go into a traditional
ending in Pilates are designed to leave
a client feeling successful, uplifted,
elated, aligned, strong and flexible all
at once. In this workshop we´ll go over
the elements that make up a great
finish to a session for all levels of
clients and then practice several
often-forgotten endings on the mat as
well as on the Ladder Barrel, Electric
Chair and Cadillac.
The Mat is the heart of the entire
Method of Joe Pilates.
Join Gloria in this workshop to go
deeper in the whole session of the 34
exercises shown in the book “Return to
life through Contrology”.
You will feel the exercises in your own
body, will understand the order, the
specific rhythm and the specific energy
of each exercise, to understand not
only the biomechanics, but the real
meaning and purpose of this amazing
workout!
Bring your questions, your doubts, your
enthusiasm to “squeeze the juice out”
of your body!
Jean-Claude Nelson:
Fabien Menegon:
Miguel da Silva:
Using various barrels to free and
open up articulations. Barrel
workouts are fun and very efficient in
treating thigh hips and shoulders.
Basic workout has been always the
base and the heart of Pilates method
for each one and his evolution to the
future levels. Discover the different
aspects of his client? Which exercises
will improve his workout? What are the
weak points of its body through the
workout? How to design a class? We
will go through an all workout and
exercises to respond to all those
questions working into the Reformer,
Mat, Cadillac, Chairs and Barrels.
Find out how useful can be your wunda
chair!
Go round and arch-flat, bend and twist!
In this work shop I'll show you how
wonderful can be working with
your client!
Take him to another level, from the
basic till the most advanced exercise!
Always challenge him!

Gloria Gasperi:
It is one thing to get your Center
working when you are lying on the Mat,
Reformer or Cadillac. It is another to
keep your Center working once you
bring your body upright. Sandy will use
exercises on the chairs and ladder barrel
to illustrate how to bring Pilates off the
Mat and into your day life.
Come ready to work and play.
Discover the details that make
teaching the Reformer a powerful
body-changing practice that will
transform your clients. Learn how to
recognize what a client needs in
their body, when to progress to the
next level, how to teach transitions
and when variations are useful or
appropriate.
Cadillac is the Queen of Pilates
equipment! You can deepen your
work and your connections, find new
length, more understanding , play
with gravity, strengthen your upper
and lower body, challenge yourself
and your clients!
Don´t miss the opportunity to play
with Cadillac with Gloria during this
inspiring workshop!

CADILLAC!
Jean-Claude Nelson:
Fabien Menegon:
The scoop (”navel to spine”) plays a major
role in any Pilates exercise. We can never
emphasis the deepening in our centre
enough. Let´s take a closer look at how we
could optimize the understanding of the
"Scoop" on the Reformer, Cadillac and Chair.
The Guillotine is one of the elements
of the Pilates method less used.
Through this workshop, we will work
the great benefits of this apparatus
to improve the workout of your
clients and the tips that can give you
for advance workouts.
