Joseph Pilates addressed the whole body in each exercise. I have added the whole psyche to the whole body. Hence Pilates Plus Psyche.

I offer Pilates Plus Psyche for diagnosing, deepening and challenging those of you Pilates teachers, advanced students or other professionals who have a yearning to delve into more about yourselves and your clients. Pilates Plus Psyche can also be for a beginner with a need and talent to work deeper. If you are a professional psychotherapist (counselor, psychologist, psychoanalyst) who would like to add fundamental body work to what you already practice, feel welcome to come in through that door. The Pilates Method is an ideal resource for an overall body/mind health program.

Pilates Plus Psyche extends Pilates work to engagement with the unconscious. A practical tool for working with the unconscious is Jungian typology, learning our psyche's structure - understanding which 2 of the ways of knowing and experiencing out of 4, thinking, feeling, sensing & intuiting (which Carl Jung called functions) are conscious in us and available and which 2 are in the unconscious and full of difficulties. Realizing our own type and our individual client's type gives us a blueprint to determine which teaching approach is best.

I have given a number of workshops on personal typology to an enthusiastic reception. It is clear that there is a deep interest in understanding the psyche and its structure within the Pilates community.The PMA (Pilates Method Alliance) has videos available of my presentation in Miami (2002) and promises to have available videos of 2001 (the first PMA conference in Miami) and 2003 (the third PMA conference in Denver) at its 2005 conference in California.
