November 2025 Workshop Schedule

In-person | 9.00am-11.00am | $185 including comprehensive workshop notes & GST.
Clients with specific postural issues require specialized programming to effectively realign the skeleton and re-balance muscles. This lecture / demo, developed by the Merrithew® team, reviews exercises from the Essential Reformer repertoire and explores how these movements can be modified for each individual. Specific postural habits are discussed with particular focus paid to muscular imbalances associated with aspects of the following postures: kyphosis-lordosis, sway back and flat back. How to recognize and target lengthened, weak, shortened or tight muscles due to postural habits, what exercises to select and appropriate cues and modifications are also examined.

Sunday 16 November 2025 | STOTT PILATES® Jumpboard Strength & Conditioning Workshop 2hr Workshop | Live In-person @ Genesis Fitness Reformer Studio, Auckland
In-person | 11.30am-1.30pm | $185 including comprehensive workshop notes & GST.
Learn programming to improve the strength and stability of hip, knee and ankle joints in both supine and standing positions in this workshop developed by the Merrithew® team. The use of a Jumpboard with the Reformer allows the hip joint to be closer to an anatomically neutral alignment when transferring forces from the soles of the feet up through the body, promoting good biomechanics of the entire lower kinetic chain. Increased spring resistance emphasizes strengthening of the arms, shoulder girdle and legs.

Testimonials
““Thanks for your awesome workshop. I feel so much more confident in regards to working with Pre-natal clients - excellent content and delivery”
“I found this workshop to be highly informative and practical. The content was well-structured, especially appreciated starting with a little bit of theory and then the wide variety of exercises and modifications that can be applied when working with clients experiencing back pain. I really enjoyed the workshop! Thank you Sharon!”
“This workshop was incredible. It was delivered in a way that was appropriate for every level of practitioner. Great variations offered, superb demonstrations, highly skilled use of props. From an Instructor that came from a place of back pain and continues to attract back care clients this really was the ultimate workshop. Thank you so much! ”
“The workshop was well presented with excellent audio-visual. I found it a really useful workshop as the content reminded me of how versatile the ‘core’ Pilates exercises are and prompted me to think about integrating more matwork into my Studio classes as a lot of the work, particularly the standing work, was very functional and important for my client base. I would estimate at least 25% of my participants are diagnosed with Osteopenia or Osteoporosis, so very useful content ”
“This session was very informative and well taught. I appreciate the cues Sharon offered, specifically her advice about the use of imagery. The pace of the class was great; we got through the exercises in the allocated time and still had enough time for Sharon to provide suggestions and adaptations for the various moves”
“Very useful content to add variety and focus on strength with good form to sessions with current clients. Simple (not too complex) sequences which feel good and reward with a good amount of burn. ”
