Previous Workshops

The Art of Control offers a Pilates Master Mat Class, and a Feldenkrais workshop to "Unleash Your Neck..." on December 8, 2007 from 10-5pm

Please join us to stretch, strengthen and release tension in your muscles, body and mind on December 8, from 10-5pm, with two master teachers, Michael Johnson, Pilates Instructor, and Sharon Oliensis, Feldenkrais Method Instructor. This is the perfect time of year, in the midst of the holidays and just before the New Year, to take time for yourself and let go of stress and tension patterns that accumulate if ignored. Join us at The Art of Control® for these two special classes and you'll feel rejuvenated!

Sharon and Michael are also available for private and semi-private sessions; please call the studio at 914-251-7842 to reserve your spot and for more information. See below for more information about the classes and the instructors.

Join us on December 8, from 10-11:30am with Sharon Oliensis to loosen and lengthen our neck and shoulders, and discover ways to move that allow chronic overwork in the neck and shoulders to soften by involving the much more satisfying, and often elusive, movements of the chest, ribs and shoulder blades. Let go of that stiff neck in this wonderful class. Cost: $40. From 11:30-1pm, Sharon will have a limited number of private sessions available for $120. Call to register for the class and book your session.

Call to register for the class and to book sessions. The class costs $40. The semi private sessions are $60 per person; and for groups of 3 or more, the cost is $50 per person.
