TEACHER CERTIFICATION TRAINING

Time: 9am - 1pm
Instructor: James D'Silva

Course Description
Once again innovation has been the guiding force for the brick repertoire. Graha is the house that builds and maintains us, hence the functionality of the brick, challenging and fortifying us with a whole new repertoire. Using the yoga brick as a prop to simplify and expand the pilates repertoire, James has cleverly put together a challenging workout to instigate bilateral symmetry and instabilities in the functional body.

This training is 12 hours split over 3 days (4 hours a day)

Instructor: James D'Silva
Location: Studio M Pilates, Sonoma CA

Course Description
Chakra or wheel is the defining word that aligns our newly produced form rollers with the work outs we have created in opening, lengthening and strengthening our form. The word aptly described as the energetic wheel, allows us to challenge ourselves whilst engaging our mental and physical prowess.
James has incorporated the Garuda repertoire and cleverly devised the movement material in making it as simple or advanced as the practitioner would require it. Chakra is the wheel of discovery, the energetic wheel that engages your physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
After finishing this course you will get 1 month free online access to the Foam Roller DVD
This training is 12 hours split over 3 days (4 hours a day)

ABOUT THE GARUDA METHOD
Where Pilates ends, Garuda begins.
Encompassing the principles of Pilates, the breathwork and asana practices of yoga, the grace and athleticism of dance, Garuda is the face of 21st-century fitness. Where Pilates ends, Garuda begins. Holistic, organic, dynamic – Garuda is the hybrid that is revolutionizing our approach to fitness.
Garuda’s results are striking. Increased strength, flexibility, coordination and endurance, with a greater sense of ease and well-being. Garuda offers a cardiovascular workout while drawing deeply on mental focus and teaching the sacred principle of relaxation within movement. The result is a stronger, leaner body, improved posture and true ease of both movement and mind.
