Pilates Workshop
The Roots & Flow of Pilates
With Fernando Diaz
The Roots & Flow of Pilates – A 2-Hour Immersion
Yoga. Ballet. Gymnastics.
Pilates was born at the intersection of strength, control, breath, and flow.
In this 2-hour workshop, we explore the foundations of Pilates and how the method evolved through influences from yoga, classical gymnastics, and contemporary movement traditions. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the principles behind the practice — and experience how they translate into strong, intelligent, and elegant movement.
Expect a dynamic and uplifting session combining mindful breathwork, technical precision, and fluid transitions — all guided with clarity and purpose.
Workshop Structure (2 hours)
Part 1 – Breath & Flow (35 min)
We begin with a gentle, flowing sequence inspired by yoga, focusing on breath awareness, spinal mobility, and fluid transitions. This section builds presence, coordination, and connection between breath and movement — essential principles in Pilates.
Part 2 – Foundations of Pilates (40 min)
We explore the fundamental exercises of classical mat Pilates, rooted in early European gymnastics traditions. You will learn key techniques, alignment principles, and core activation strategies, progressing gradually toward more dynamic and rhythmic movement patterns.
Short Break (5 min)
Part 3 – Dynamic Core & Integration (40 min)
A stronger, more athletic Pilates sequence incorporating small equipment (fitball) with a clear focus on core strength, stability, and control.
We close with a guided stretching flow to integrate the work and leave the body balanced and energized.
