SmartCore & SmartSpine™ 2-Day Workshop 1/30 - 1/31 2027 

3580 Santa Anita Ave, El Monte, CA 91731

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The SmartCore & SmartSpine™ 2-Day Workshop is a hands-on training designed for movement professionals, Pilates instructors, fitness professionals, and rehabilitation specialists who want to deepen their understanding of core function, posture, alignment, and movement efficiency.

This immersive workshop introduces participants to the SmartSpine™ system, a somatosensory approach that enhances proprioception, improves alignment, restores functional movement, and creates lasting changes through tactile feedback, breathwork, and purposeful movement.

Participants will learn how to:

• Understand the relationship between posture, alignment, breathing, and core function
• Use SmartSpine™ tools to improve body awareness and movement quality
• Apply tactile cueing to enhance proprioception and motor learning
• Create movement progressions that improve stability, mobility, and functional movement
• Integrate SmartSpine™ principles into private sessions, group classes, and rehabilitation settings

This workshop provides practical, immediately applicable techniques that can be incorporated into a wide variety of movement disciplines and client populations.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

SmartCore & Movement Integration

• Understand the principles of SmartCore and functional core integration
• Activate and coordinate the deep stabilizing muscles of the trunk
• Utilize breath mechanics to support stability, mobility, and efficient movement
• Recognize common movement compensations and develop corrective strategies

SmartSpine™ Applications

• Effectively use SmartSpine™ tools for alignment, mobility, and sensory feedback
• Apply tactile cueing to improve proprioception and motor control
• Design movement progressions using SmartSpine™ equipment
• Incorporate SmartSpine™ techniques into Pilates, fitness, and rehabilitation programs

Client Outcomes

• Improve posture and alignment
• Enhance movement efficiency and coordination
• Reduce unnecessary muscular tension and movement restrictions
• Increase body awareness and functional movement patterns
