4. Workshop: Doing Pilates When Hypermobile with Mindi Westfall
In this workshop, we will go through ways to get more stretch by adding more strength keeping you more pain-free. More strength is needed to really get the stretch because the joints are able to go beyond where they should. We will also cover the difference between Hypermobility and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome).

Let’s strip it down to the fundamental exercises that you most likely practice today, but just didn’t see them as the building blocks to Control Balance. Let’s check in to see how you connect in those exercises using a Magic Circle, a theraband, or a pole as tools to help us along the way.

Join me for this empowerment workout to reconnect, rediscover, and reimagine what might be possible in your movement practice after breast cancer.
