I wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for such a great weekend. I feel so much more prepared for sessions with my clients after the seminar. And, I had a walk-in client with scoliosis today who booked three privates with me! I am hoping to keep her for 10 and use her for my case study for the Scolio-Pilates Mentorship! What amazing timing. I doubt I would’ve booked her without the info you gave me.
With students coming together in this online format, you’ll get to know your colleagues from all over the world as we learn, discuss, share and grow, from home.
Topics covered in Scolio-Pilates Module 2
- Define the curves of scoliosis (3, 4, and thoraco-lumbar curves).
- Scoliosis specific corrections and scoliosis specific exercises to aid us in bringing our clients towards a more balanced system
- Corrections in the basic positions of prone, supine, side-lying, seated, and standing.
- Once the corrections are applied in the basic positions, we add movement to these corrections either on the mat or with the assistance of the Pilates equipment.
Come learn why Scolio-Pilates, a form of Pilates that allows for modifications to assist the client with scoliosis in the Pilates studio, is now being used by children’s hospitals, physical therapy clinics, and Pilates studios worldwide to help with the management of scoliosis.

HOW IT WORKS
We are going to run this like a regular workshop, just online.
If you would like continuing education credits for this course, you must attend the course live. All students will receive access to the recordings, but please remember that you must attend live to receive continuing education credits. Whether you attend live or watch the recordings and you will be able to move on to Module 3, the Scolio-Pilates Mentorship.
- The course is a total of 16 hours — one hour of this is homework that you will do in place of our breakout sessions that would happen during an in-person course.
- We will meet 5 times over 5 weeks. See the dates to the left.
- All classes are 3 hours
- Be prepared to be on time and to participate in discussions and exercises (as you are able)
- You will need to be online for the entire course if you are receiving continuing education credits. If you miss class time, you can make it up by scheduling a private session with Karena that equal the class time missed.
