"Timing Is Everything"
Uniform development inherently arises from the ideal, innately true timing of muscles firing to create healthy movement. In this workshop we will utilize the Pilates exercises and equipment to strengthen our depth of understanding of the precise timing required and to develop our visual assessment skills of these patterns and progressions. Mastery of these will help us to determine how to accurately support our clients to achieve their most powerfully healthy movement choice.

Anyone who has had some experience with YBR®, wishes to go deeper into their own self-evaluation and possibly become a certified practitioner is welcome to enroll in Phase 1.
Experiential anatomy lessons are the core of the YBR® curricula. This provides students with the foundation needed to develop confident therapeutic skills.
We start you at the beginning feeling your own muscles from origin to insertion. Knowing how to find and feel your own muscles are crucial to problem solving and helping others to heal themselves.
Teaching skills are gradually integrated with ongoing study and practice of YBR® routines so that students get YBR® into their own bodies and they empower their own students and clients to become fixers of their own bodies.
Phase 1 - two and a half days
Class outline:
YBR History
Basic guidelines and theories of YBR®
Experiential Anatomy
- Hamstrings
- Posterior Calf
- Spine
- Quadriceps
- Adductors

- Abdominal Muscles

The instructor first demonstrates, then supervises and offers corrections. Students can follow along with the Manual. Questions are encouraged and answered at all times during the course.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of Phase 1 students will have:
-an understanding of the theories of YBR®
-experientially learned how to find and work all muscles covered in this phase
