Presented by: Alexandra Rossopoulou, BASI Teacher

This workshop will provide everything a Pilates teacher should know about breast cancer and rehabilitation in a comprehensive Pilates context.

Alexandra guides attendees in learning how to help women after mastectomy and during the journey of reconstruction. She will also give more information about various therapies, symptoms, lympedema, the psychological state of women going through the treatment and rehabilitation process, and methods of rehabilitation.

Students will learn about different methods of reconstruction and how to choose appropriate exercises accordingly. If there is a volunteer woman with breast cancer, Alexandra will demonstrate ways to work with her as a client and provide opportunities for discussion. Students will also plan classes based on different case studies.

Each day Alexandra will teach a Pilates class on the mat and demonstrate the apparatus.
