July 26-Body Concept Conference: Forces that Move Us
Training with the Pilates apparatus is an ideal environment for facilitating mechanical demands on the body for improved performance through neuromyofascial adaptation. Current research shows that mechanical loading, when strong enough and occurring in a regular manner, changes the architecture of connective tissue.
Madeline Black will guide you through how specific Pilates apparatus set-ups, body positioning and lines of force generates and supports movement. Experience how Pilates apparatuses with its bars, pedals and springs produces variable force transmissions and how it moves through the body.
Witness the body’s response to the vectors in its connective tissues.
Learn the science behind the effect of force transmission in neuromyofascia.
Practice teaching with principles of the body-wide interconnected tensional network
Hour by hour
Lecture on science of force transmission, myofascia’s role, adaptations
Practice: Seeing and sensing the force that move us, starting at feet

July 29 to August 2- Five day (30 hours) Madeline Black Method Intensive. Body Concept Movement Academy, Shanghai China
Madeline Black’s intensive five-day course gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in movement science, theory, and practice. Madeline’s approach integrates movement patterning based on gait identifying the individual’s movement strategies. Madeline escorts each participant through personal feedback during the process of the session. Madeline customizes each day matching the needs and energy of the participants providing a unique experience for each instructor.
What will be presented and explored:
Organization and movement strategies of the client.
Neuromyofascial movement perspective.
Integrated nervous system influences on movement, and health.
Practice and learn manual skills.
Embody movement principles, theories, and new perspectives.
Develop perception and intuition.
Neuromyofascial techniques to stimulate reflexive responses.
Strategies improving movement efficiency.
