Thank you Rebekah and PA for this fantastic workshop! As a Pilates Mat instructor and with my own diagnosis of Osteoporosis, I am so thankful for Rebekah's expertise in the field. Great teaching of bone concepts and application to specific exercises.
Jodie, great question! The workshop is in chapters and so you can do it in sections as well as you are able to pause and resume if you need to take a break. It is a great workshop with so much great information. Enjoy!
Jodie the workshop is yours for as long as Pilates Anytime is in business (a long time if things go as planned ). You can return to the workshop as often as you like.
Hi, I've paid for this workshop and it shuts down on me after 15 minutes. It's fully loaded but then will jump back to the beginning...it's been happening with all the classes and now the workshop- can someone look into this for me? Thank you!
