Live Session has concluded Recording Now Available!
This is IT! An incredible opportunity to join THE Pilates and movement pioneer of curiosity, Cara Reeser. Cara will help us gain clarity on where our head is at in space, how it relates to almost every exercise we do in Pilates (and life), and why we need to understand its importance and relationship to our “tail” or pelvis. In this Classtermind, you’ll learn skill building in your practice so you can teach these building blocks to your clients and classes, which will:
1️⃣ Navigate best practices for carrying 11 lbs. of weight on the top of our body.
2️⃣ Comprehend and demystify the importance of cervical extension (and flexion).
3️⃣ Normalize the concept of tension and when it is needed.
4️⃣ Understand where to drive each exercise from and how it creates a more biomechanically global experience.
5️⃣ Express the importance of ease and flow with selective control.
This Classtermind is part lecture AND part movement, so come ready to learn AND FEEL the results in your body so you can take these concepts back to the studio.

About Cara Reeser
In 1993, I relocated from New York City to Boulder Colorado where I participated in the Classical Pilates Teacher Training program at the Pilates Center in Boulder, CO. It was there that I began my Pilates Teaching career. At the same time, I continued dancing in the local community, and eventually started my own dance company Still Moving Dances.
Along with teaching Pilates, dancing and choreographing, I was honored to become a member of the faculty at Naropa University, teaching in its BFA program for 15 years. It was there where my studies in mediation, dance improvisation, Buddhism and yoga became integral to my point of view as a movement educator.
In 1999 I opened my own Pilates studio in Denver, CO, which I called Pilates Aligned where my focus was to create creative and appropriate exercise protocols for all bodies no matter how limited, injured or deconditioned. Aligned proudly served clients and Pilates professional until the fall of 2020 when I closed the studio and relocated back to New York City.
As a long time and devoted student of Kathy Grant and the work that she developed, I am honored to be one of the students that carries her lineage forward. In 2012 I created and began offering The Heritage Training Program to Pilates professionals who wanted to deepen their understanding of the Grant lineage and best practices in the subtle movement training. It is in this program I pass on the work through my personal experience, exploring the techniques and skills I gained in working with Kath for many years.
I am also the Co-owner and Co-educator for Movement Science Made Simple, along with Jeremy Laverdure, NCPT, DPT. In this post graduate education platform, we are dedicated to continuing to advance the knowledge of biomechanics, motor learning and pain science for Pilates professionals and movement teachers of all kinds.
As an educator in the Pilates community, I draw inspiration from the many extraordinary teachers I have, and continue to study with. I believe in advancing this work through honoring the tradition while incorporating the current advancements in the movement and pain sciences fields. This allow me to effectively serve all the clients who enter into practice with me, be it in a studio or on the screen.
