Explore gentle, supportive Pilates strategies for clients with fibromyalgia and other chronic pain or fatigue-related conditions. This extended masterclass is structured more like a workshop and focuses on managing pain and fatigue while improving breathing, mobility, core control, balance, body awareness, and the mind-body connection.
Using the Cadillac, Reformer, Wunda Chair, and a variety of props, learn how to adapt familiar Pilates exercises through thoughtful positioning, padding, pacing, resistance, range of motion, and cueing. These strategies are also useful for beginners, older adults, highly stressed clients, and anyone who feels overwhelmed by traditional exercise or disconnected from their body.
 
You’ll learn how to:
Understand how persistent pain, fatigue, sleep disruption, and “fibro fog” may affect movement and learning
Adapt each session to the client’s symptoms and energy level that day
Use supportive positioning and props to reduce pressure on tender or sensitive areas
Improve breathing, comfortable mobility, core control, balance, and proprioception
Restore body awareness and strengthen the mind-body connection
Simplify exercises and cueing to reduce confusion, frustration, and physical overwhelm
Progress exercise gradually while avoiding overexertion and unnecessary symptom flares
Apply these strategies to fibromyalgia and other chronic pain or fatigue-related conditions
