them through intelligent, contemporary sequencing. Built on progressive layering, patterning, and
flow, the class prepares the body for more advanced exercises, moving continuously from start to
finish.

progressions, with hands-on cueing and adjustment strategies for immediate teaching application.
Key outcomes covered:
- Sequence intelligently toward advanced repertoire
- Apply movement layering and muscle patterning principles
- Maintain flow without sacrificing technique
- Build confidence in hands-on adjustments and regressions

driven sessions that meet the evolving demands of today’s clients.

Unstable Advantage
FITBALL FOCUSED
Unlocking strength, control, and progression using instability
The fitball is one of the most under utilised tools in Pilates studios. Often overlooked due to a lack of
confidence in how to program and use it effectively. This workshop reframes the fitball as a powerful
teaching apparatus, capable of developing deep stability, control, and full-body integration.
Using the fitball as the sole apparatus, this session explores how to recreate and challenge
movement patterns typically found on studio equipment - bringing reformer, chair, and Cadillac
concepts into a dynamic, accessible group class setting.
Participants will move through a progressive, intelligently sequenced class, followed by a practical
breakdown of key exercises, progressions, and teaching strategies.
Key outcomes:
- Build confidence using the fitball as a primary teaching tool
- Develop balance, stability, and control through instability
- Translate studio apparatus exercises onto the fitball
- Create engaging, full-body group classes with minimal equipment
- Learn progressions and regressions for mixed-level clients
Available for workshops, guest teaching, and industry events across Australia and internationally.
