25 & 26 November 2023 - Classes & workshops with Pilates Master Teachers Michael Fritzke & Ton Voogt

25 november 2023

Workshops - Wunda Chair -  Classical Reformer - On the Mat with Joe & the Elders (Part 1 & 2)

Michael and Ton are internationally recognized Pilates Teachers, presenters, educators, consultants, and innovators, and travel the world sharing their knowledge and experience. They were the last two people to do a true apprenticeship (no manuals or seminars) with Romana Kryzanowska. In 2000 Romana asked them to become Teacher of Teachers for her original International Pilates Certification Program in NYC. As Teacher Trainers and Supervising Instructors at the uptown Pilates Studio, Michael and Ton worked closely together with Romana and her daughter Sari Mejia Santo, training, guiding and testing hundreds of apprentices through the program. During this time they also collaborated with Physical Therapists at Performing Arts Physical Therapy in NYC.

Michael and Ton believe that Pilates is both an Art and a Science. It is an Art because it requires ability in execution and it is a Science because it is based on a systematic theory. It is this systematic theory, with concepts and principles, that is the common thread in all approaches, traditional and evolved.

Michael and Ton eventually left their positions at the Pilates Studio, and used their knowledge and experience to create and set up several customized independently owned and operated full Pilates certification programs internationally. Together they developed and created - the revolutionary TRIADBALL™ the first ball of its size created specifically for the Pilates method.

Their work today incorporates the work of all the Pilates Elders and their knowledge and experience of other movement and therapy modalities. In their private practice, they have worked with numerous A-list celebrities and are currently working with professional athletes from the NFL, MLB, NBA and PGA. As life long students Michael and Ton are currently in their advanced studies of Spiraldynamik® based out of Switzerland and are the representatives for Spiraldynamik® in the fields of Pilates and Fitness in the USA.

9 januari 2016 & 4 juni 2016 - Fluitist /Franklin Method Educator L3 (rafdegroote.be)

We ademen ong. 20.000 x per dag. Ademen is gekoppeld aan bewegingsvrijheid, stabiliteit en innerlijke rust/ spanning. We oefenen en bestendigen deze samenhang dus permanent.

Beter ademen betekent dus een verbetering op al deze vlakken…

In deze wetenschappelijk gefundeerde workshop gaan we interactief en op lichtvoetige wijze aan de slag. Je maakt o.a. kennis met

-ademhaling volgens evolutionair design :
(ademstructuur , ademvolumes en adem-mechanismes)
- relatie tussen adem , bewegingscoördinatie en stabiliteit
- ademen, spieren, skelet en organen
- adem vs spanning en rust …

Oefeningen met Franklin ballen/ banden .. en veel meer!

Na afloop zal je rustiger, stabieler én beweeglijker zijn.
Je zal deze weldadige verandering begrijpen en steeds kunnen terugvinden , een ankerpunt in je dagelijks leven!
