Studio BAM Pilates

Coming in hot this Sunday! Link in comments.

Erika is BACK after 2 years with a CEC workshop for you. She is OBSESSED with unilateral work, and the advantage it brings to alignment, symmetry, and training the teacher’s eye. PLUS, it’s FUN and really helpful with class programming and flows.
Let’s dive into the awesome opportunity to train one side at a time. This workshop explores how unilateral Reformer exercises can reveal hidden imbalances, challenge coordination, and unlock smarter movement strategies. Through thoughtfully layered progressions, you’ll learn how to build strength, stability, and control without overwhelming your clients (or yourself). Expect “aha” moments and a whole new appreciation for the power of asymmetry WITH purpose.
Perfect for all-level instructors looking to deepen their programming skills, this session blends biomechanics, creativity, and practical teaching tools you can use immediately in both group and private settings.

Supplementary materials and session handout for tracking along with video.
Full recording to the LIVE session (once complete) and 90 minutes of content with Erika.
This live session comes with 1.5 NPCP CECs

The incredible Carrie Pages is here to unlock the full potential of the Reformer by reconnecting with the classical Pilates system and exploring its powerful application in athletic conditioning. In this dynamic, movement-focused workshop, we’ll examine how Joseph Pilates’ original exercises were designed to build strength, control, coordination, and resilience—qualities essential to athletic performance at any level.
Through practice, discussion, and observation, we will learn how to bridge classical Reformer work with sport-specific movement patterns, functional training, and modern athletic demands. Whether you’re training athletes or aiming to deepen your own understanding of Pilates as a performance system, this workshop will equip you with tools to refine your teaching and amplify results.

1️⃣ Understand the athletic origins and intent behind classical Reformer exercises.

Sunday, October 13th
9:00 - 10:30am PT (Los Angeles)

You know that exercise you can’t seem to do even though you’ve been doing Pilates for a long time? What about the one your client’s can’t seem to accomplish, and you can’t figure out why they can’t get it? Or you can’t figure out the words to each an exercise? Maybe you don’t really know what the details actually are so it’s always a little “flubby”? It’s frustrating to feel like you don’t understand what’s going on or how to help! That’s what this workshop is about!

You pick the exercises we should work on in this workshop! Let’s pull them apart and understand what they are and what’s going on when your client (who might be YOU) can’t do them! We need to really know the details of each exercise, how each body part needs to move, what needs to engage to make that movement and what to cue to make it happen! Not to mention modifications or other exercises that help our clients develop the ability to get the exercise in the future if it is not time for them to execute it today.

Come join Shari Berkowitz and put some puzzle pieces together in this 90-minute Classtermind. Once you register, you’ll be sent to a form to submit your exercise of interest (feel free to choose mat, reformer or apparatus) so we can discuss together!

Sunday, September 15th
9:00 - 10:30a PT (Los Angeles)

This is IT! An incredible opportunity to join THE Pilates and movement pioneer of curiosity, Cara Reeser. Cara will help us gain clarity on where our head is at in space, how it relates to almost every exercise we do in Pilates (and life), and why we need to understand its importance and relationship to our “tail” or pelvis. In this Classtermind, you’ll learn skill building in your practice so you can teach these building blocks to your clients and classes, which will:

1️⃣ Navigate best practices for carrying 11 lbs. of weight on the top of our body.

2️⃣ Comprehend and demystify the importance of cervical extension (and flexion).

3️⃣ Normalize the concept of tension and when it is needed.

4️⃣ Understand where to drive each exercise from and how it creates a more biomechanically global experience.

5️⃣ Express the importance of ease and flow with selective control.

This Classtermind is part lecture AND part movement, so come ready to learn AND FEEL the results in your body so you can take these concepts back to the studio.

Equipment Recommended: Yoga Blocks, Theraband, Hand Towel

The last Classtermind of 2023 is with the Rockstar: Erika Quest! This Sunday - link in cooments.
From Erika:
This is it! In just one week, we are getting brainy in our Classtermind with yours truly. Come learn fresh ways to share the neuroplasticity love in your movement sessions and impact neurogenesis with your clients and classes. An often times forgotten area of our body, yes, our brain oxidizes just like our joints and soft tissue. I'll be sharing strategies I've used with my clients of all ages for years to help freshen up and build neural pathways via brain games.

These are concepts and tools I've used with my traumatic brain injury, Dementia, and Alzheimer's clients, as well as just having a little "brain agility" fun in classes. As a reminder, the last time yours truly did a Classtermind, it was WAY back in early 2022 with Tom McCook on Healthy Aging Strategies. This will be our final Classtermind of 2023, and this was slated to be a part of my 4-part 4B system on Active Aging called BRAIN, BODY, BALANCE & BUDDY. Come join in the fun and learn all about the importance of neurogenesis at ANY age and for all types of clients. We'll even do some work and drills on reaction time, which will tie back to improved balance training strategies as well.

You get all of the goodies you always do with this one. Session handout, full recording indefinitely (if you don't make it live or want to re-watch), and 90 minutes with ME!
