Wendy teaches you how to decrease tension throughout your body, energize the 2 directions of your spine, and experience an embodied Pilates practice by–exploring "core as relationship with gravity, ourselves, one another and our environment". Experience the body's natural power and poise with "core coordination", rather than over-stabilizing with "core control" and take that transformational awareness to your Pilates practice and teaching.

Wendy On Fusion Pilates EDU
My new online Pilates workshop has launched at FusionPilatesEDU.com!
How do we impact “local problems” from a GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE? In this online Pilates workshop, you will see how Amy moves from “isolated sacral laxity” to “whole-body fascial integrity”, by developing a felt sense, with Wendy’s embodied coaching, of how to FREE THE SACRUM through the lens of EMBODIED BIOTENSEGRITY… the study of the tension-compression continuity within biological organisms

DIY Swedish Bars
Lauren Hammerle’s husband Dave is back at it with another awesome DIY Pilates Apparatus Project! He made Lauren a High Mat that folds for storage as a surprise Christmas gift. This time it’s Swedish Bars…
With a few supplies from your local hardware store you can affordably expand your Pilates Studio in one weekend. DIY Swedish Bars are a simple and easy project. Start your project today and you can be hanging like a Bat tomorrow!

Swedish Bars have, so far, been an elusive piece of apparatus in my studio. I always felt my studio was too small to accommodate the unit, until I realized the possibility of having a set custom built. I mentioned this to my husband Dave, a carpenter, and he built one in about 2 hours. It took him more time to stain the Bars than to actually build it! The whole project cost just under $200, and it fits perfectly in my studio after all!
