Part one Liver, Stomach and Colon
This stimulating workshop explores how we can encourage mobilisation and release of the visceral organs through common movement practice.
Liz and Kerry will break down the surface anatomy of these organs, their essential connections and movements, requirements for healthy movement and causes of visceral restrictions, paradigm shifts, contraindications and indications, simple movement testing and specific repertoire that movement teachers can use to help mobilise these organs.
This workshop is a deep-dive into the body to understand how organs respond to specific movements, and will look at repertoire examples that positively effect mobilisation of the viscera.
Liz and Kerry have a wealth of knowledge and experience in making this complex information accessible to Pilates and movement Instructors for immediate inclusion in their teaching and self practice.
This workshop will involve demonstrations using the full suite of Studio apparatus. For those watching at home, you will need a mat, therabands and a rotator disc.

ABOUT LANETTE
Lanette Helene’s was first exposed to Pilates in her teenage years as a ballet dancer where she took part in a weekly Matwork class. In 1993, she recognised the work she was partaking in each week was Pilates during a session in, at the time, the only studio in Canberra. Now, Lanette owns and runs Pilates Canberra – home to her Pilates journey for the last 27 years. Lanette has studied a variety of Pilates approaches with varied Pilates qualifications, culminating in the Advanced Diploma of the Pilates Method.
Travelling to New York City each year for the last 10 years, to study with second generation Pilates Practitioners Deborah Lessen, Blossom Leilani Crawford, Kathy Ross Nash, and Brett Howard has greatly influenced Lanettes practise in only the best way. The perspectives she draws from when teaching is varied and focussed on achieving the movement outcome that she thinks will suit and progress the body in front of her. Lanettes ability to integrate her second-generation knowledge as her commitment to movement requires it, is just one of the sought-after qualities Lanette possess.
