Finding Center & Studio 74 host the 2nd in a series of workshops for Pilates Instructors:
Addressing Pelvic Alignment through Pilates
Presented by Zeina Grifoni, Physical Therapist & Pilates Instructor
This workshop will review postural analysis and functional anatomy of the pelvis. We will learn to recognize faulty alignment at the pelvis and explore how it affects the rest of the moving body. We will also review appropriate Pilates exercises and stretches to increase stability and maintain neutral positioning at the pelvis.
Zeina Grifoni received her Master's degree in Physical Therapy at Samuel Merritt College in Oakland. She has worked as an independent contractor in both Marin and San Francisco. In September 2005, she opened her own practice, Synergy +. Her main focus is outpatient orthopedics, ranging from post-op rehab to sports related injuries. She specializes in rehabilitation for Athletes, primarily circus artists and cyclists. Zeina completed her Pilates certification at the Ellie Herman Studios in San Francisco. Together, physical therapy and Pilates allow for a safe way to progress through any type of physical activity, as well as a precise method to rehabilitate post injury.

Finding Center and Studio 74 Pilates present the first in a series of quarterly workshops:
Psychology and Pilates: Exploring the Instructor-Client Relationship
presented by Phil Weglarz
In this workshop, we will explore the experience of providing a one-on-one client-based service with the goal of gaining tools for improving your practice for both you and your clients. Concepts from the field of psychology will help reveal aspects of the instructor-client relationship that are more influenced by personality than technical ability. We will look at issues such as scope of practice and maintaining clear boundaries. Through discussion and experiential exercises, you will examine and share your work experiences with other Pilates instructors.
Phil Weglarz (MA-Counseling Psychology, California Institute of Integral Studies) is an expressive art therapist and MFT intern working at California Pacific Medical Center with people who are recovering from orthopedic surgery and other illnesses as well as people with dementia. Phil and his wife, Kate Weglarz, Pilates instructor and co-owner of Finding Center, have been exploring the interplay between psychology and Pilates since 2002. Phil and Kate also co-teach aerial dance classes to adults in Berkeley.
