💫 Angelie’s Story

 

“I’ve spent the last 30 years as an advocate, passionate Pilates student, and Master Instructor—starting my journey at a very young age to address my own scoliosis.

Pilates allowed me to avoid spinal fusion surgery at age 12 and gifted me a profound understanding of spinal movement and healing.

 

My teaching combines Classical and Contemporary Pilates methods passed down by 1st and 2nd generation teachers. This blended approach helps me support both clients and instructors across the globe—offering a rich, integrated path to movement-based healing.”

 

— Angelie Melzer

This guided tour will include protocol for common misalignments and deviations, tailored specifically to your body.  It will also include how to administer a postural evaluation and general gait analysis to your clients and gift it to them, drawing them deeper into the work and more fully throughout their daily lives.

Mirroring & Scoliosis

ON DEMAND CE COURSE

(2.0 NCPT and ACE CEs) 

This 90 minute introductory workshop focuses on the verbiage and approach when finding the connection between the healing process of the body and mind with a Chronic Pain patient (specifically a Scoliotic).  And how to use the bodies of both the practitioner and the client to teach a new movement pattern. 

Feeling "straight" in a crooked body can be frustrating to say the least.  This new approach will gift the ability to feel a straight spine and mirror the movement, while checking in with all of the parts of the body to negotiate the emotional side of Chronic Pain.  Combining both the emotions and the physical sides of pain creates a heightened awareness of healing. The inclusion of "checking in" and pausing to allow the emotional side of the healing process will be included throughout the session.
