Pilates in Residence
My new passion project
I am always thinking of how I can learn more in my field and how I can use my platform as a business owner to try to make some sort of change for the environment.
Years ago I started the Nosara Challenge and No Plastic Nosara with some key people in my community. It is made a huge impact in this small town but we need to do more! Thus the creation of Pilates in Residence.
I think of it like artist in residence but with Pilates being the art. The idea is to invite teachers that want to share their in depth knowledge at Pilates Nosara in the form of a master class and one workshop. In trade I invite the instructor to stay at my home for five nights, enjoying the rest of the time as a vacation, also participating as many classes at my studio that they want.
The workshops will be offered to everyone and anyone that wants to learn for a small fee for $30. All proceeds will be given to NO PLASTIC NOSARA and Nosara Recycle Center.
Stay tuned for dates of visiting instructors and what they will be presenting!!!
If you are an experienced instructor with some incredible to share and want to participate please email me at info@pilatesnosara.com

Tech Neck
February 22, 2020
10:30 – 1:00pm
$30
Tech Neck is an overuse syndrome caused by the repetitive stress of holding one’s head in a forward and downward position for extended periods of time. Recently, the prevalence of this syndrome is on the rise due to increasing hours spent on handheld devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers. In this workshop, we will discuss the anatomy and physiology of the tissues affected by this posture. Drawing from Sam’s experience as a physical therapist and BASI Pilates teacher, she will share with you some of the best strengthening exercises and stretches to help eliminate the symptoms of tech neck. With this knowledge and practical experience, you will feel confident in treating your own tech neck and helping others who suffer from it.

The Power Of Your Flower: Women Only
A workshop on pelvic floor health + dysfunction
August 12, 2019
12:00 – 3:00pm
$30
Leaking when sneezing, laughing or jumping is a serious concern for many active women.
In this workshop Christi Idavoy is creating a safe haven for women to come together and learn about how to improve pelvic floor function. She will share the findings of Dr. Brent Anderson's (Polestar Pilates founder) 5 year study on pelvic floor engagement, in which she participated both as a subject and assistant.
We will briefly talk about some of the issues like back pain, painful sex and leakage that accompany pelvic floor dysfunction. Understanding that the pelvic floor is part of the respiratory system allows you to tune in and make improvement anywhere at any time. Learn breathing and movement techniques that will help strengthen your connection with the pelvic floor and help prevent further issues.
The goal of this workshop is to empower women to reclaim their control and gain confidence in community.
