Sayezz Pilates & Beyond Self-Practice Guide to Mat Fitness

Course details

Hi! I'm Stephanie Yezek Jolivet, the owner of Sayezz Pilates & Beyond, a contemporary approach to Pilates, with over 15 years experience not only teaching and practicing Pilates but dancing professionally, playing Division I lacrosse, training in competitive gymnastics and simply put, being an all-around movement addict (my most recent addiction is Tai Chi!)! In this course, I invite you to build strength, awareness and balance from within by learning about wellness, and the history, principles and fundamental mat exercises of my Sayezz Pilates method. In the course, I will guide you through the lectures, the manuals and the nearly 2 hours of exercises! The course begins with a Wellness and Self-Care log, to be filled out for 7 days so you can see where your fitness begins, and it culminates in a short and sweet "Tidbit" of Sayezz Pilates choreography that you can watch, learn and do anywhere, anytime you want! Both the Self-Care log and the Sayezz Pilates Tidbit are gifts I want to share with you so you have something to take away with and continue to practice after you finish the course. I give you all this in the hopes that you will integrate awareness, fitness and healthy practices into your daily life, plus my "Big 10" principles of Sayezz Pilates: 1) harmony of mind, body and spirit; 2) increased focus; 3) stability as the gateway to mobility; 4) owning our unique and beautiful imbalances; 5) deeper breath control; 6) strength within anatomical alignment; 7) strength through opposition; 8) every movement counts no matter how large or small; 9) movement in all planes; 10) flow through choreography. The long, lean muscles are icing on the cake! All materials are  © 2014 Sayezz Pilates & Beyond.
