Form and Function

Form and function are symbiotically linked; one cannot exist without the other. In this workshop, we explore the specific form of certain movements and the impact of that form on everyday life and athletic activities. Rael will discuss his personal journey, which has included, among other things, two rotator cuff surgeries, and how his experiences led him to address nuances in certain Pilates movements and introduce changes. Those changes have become standard in the BASI Pilates approach.
