PAULINE’S WORKSHOPS 2015 The following is a list of current workshops I am offering to host facilities. All my workshops are approved by AEA for Continuing Education Credits. You are welcome to ask me for special topics. You can also request longer or shorter versions of these programs. Please Note: The majority of these programs are 3-hour workshops, with half the time spent in lecture, followed by a pool practicum. Lectures are classroom only programs. Some workshops do include land movement skills, and would need a studio/aerobics room. Preferred water depth is indicated, but some sessions can be adjusted for just shallow or just deep. Again, check with Pauline. The workshops are not listed in any particular order. Each host is given the opportunity to select topics that are of most interest to their facility. If you don’t see what you want here, I have another list of workshops that I can send you.

Learn new ways to incorporate power moves and relaxation techniques and still have a high intensity workout. Equipment Needs: Webbed gloves (Pauline supplies the gloves) Special Notes: Space in the classroom to learn the moves would be very helpful (or a studio) Course Name: VERTICAL CORE CONDITIONING Course Type: Workshop Length: 4 hours Depth: Shallow/deep Course Description: Staying vertical to do core strengthening is functional, normal, comfortable, and truly successful! Crunches make you strong at crunches, but vertical core conditioning makes you strong for everyday activities. Learn how to provide the vertical core challenge in water. We will not be going supine! Equipment Needs: Noodles Special Notes: The lecture covers a lot of material, so 2.5 hrs are assigned for lecture; 1.5 hrs for pool. Most of the pool session is shallow, but we need enough depth to do some suspended exercises.

Course Name: CHOREOGRAPHY FOR THE CORE Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow/deep Course Description: Core conditioning is one of the most popular areas of training. This workshop will specifically focus on a blend of core stabilization exercises with targeted strengthening exercises so that you learn a good selection of combinations for vertical core strengthening. The key will be safe and effective movement in a vertical position, both deep and shallow, with advanced moves requiring good body control. Equipment Needs: Noodles Special Notes: Space in the classroom to learn the moves would be very helpful (or a studio) Course Name: GROUNDED, REBOUNDED PYRAMIDS Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow Course Description: Grounded moves are often underrated in water exercise, and yet they require amazing body control, balance, and strength. By building progressive combinations from grounded to rebounded moves we can provide new challenges and accommodate more abilities in our classes. Integrating the pause principle and constantly shifting the requirement for body control and core strength, this workshop will give you many new ideas to take home. Equipment Needs: None Special Notes: Space in the classroom to learn the moves would be very helpful (or a studio) Course Name: HEALTHY BACK Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow/deep Course Description: The aquatic exercise specialist needs to be able to guide clients with back issues through a safe and effective water program. This workshop will provide clear guidelines for the use of the properties of water to reduce the effects of gravity on the spine, strengthen abdominal muscles and back musculature. The emphasis will be on postural awareness, dynamic stabilization, and kinesthetic cuing. Equipment Needs: Noodles for suspended moves Special Notes: Warm water is ideal for this workshop Course Name: GENTLE MOVES Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow Course Description: We often need water exercise classes that can accommodate a variety of health issues, regardless of age. Gentle Moves will focus on balance training, gait training, and strength training without any bouncing on the pool floor. Learn how to keep the exercises active, but jointfriendly. Learn how to deliver a lively class full of functional movement that accommodates all ages. Equipment Needs: None Special Notes: Course Name: WEBS GO LATIN Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Deep Course Description: It is unbelievable how many moves you can do with webbed gloves! But even webbing needs some careful choreography to ensure balanced conditioning of the upper body muscle groups. The many styles of webbed gloves further challenge the instructor to carefully design the exercises. This workshop will focus on the principles of resistance training in relation to using webbed gloves, and maintaining anatomical integrity around the shoulder girdle. Deep water and Latin music will set you up for a fun experience. Equipment Needs: Flotation belts, webbed gloves (Pauline supplies the gloves) Special Notes: This workshop can also be offered in shallow water

Course Name: BEING EFFECTIVE WITH BUOYANT EQUIPMENT Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow Course Description: It’s made of foam, and we want to use it in the pool! The popularity of buoyant equipment requires instructors to know the effects of foam on the moving body. Submerging foam changes muscle involvement, stabilization and strengthening outcomes. This workshop will explain it all! Equipment Needs: Noodles, hand buoys, cuffs for ankles* (*if available) Special Notes: This workshop can be done without the buoyant cuffs Course Name: ECCENTRIC CONDITIONING IN WATER Course Type: Lecture Length: 3 hours Depth: N/A Course Description: Foam equipment activates the eccentric muscle actions in water, but that’s not the only time you do eccentric contractions. We need eccentric strength to live on land, so do we get the muscle action in the right muscles when we train in water? Learn how to provide the benefits of eccentric muscle strength while training in water, but the key is how to make that functionally valuable on land for joint protection. Equipment Needs: Foam equipment in the classroom for demonstration Special Notes: This workshop can include a shallow pool session if the facility has warmer water. Course Name: DEEP UPPER STRENGTH Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Deep Course Description: Total immersion in deep water provides the perfect “watergym” for upper body strengthening. Using all planes of motion, varying lever lengths, power moves, and frontal resistance you will learn how to provide a full upper body strengthening routine. The bonus is major stabilizing strengthening in the core. Expect your arms to be tired! Equipment Needs: Flotation belts, hand buoys, webbed gloves (Pauline supplies the gloves), Hydrotone yellow bells or similar hand held drag equipment. Special Notes: Course Name: ACTIVE STRETCH & RELAXATION Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow/deep Course Description: Learn how to provide active stretching with moving choreography, and range of motion relaxation techniques. Using established stretching principles, learn simple choreography patterns to engage the natural properties of water for supported lengthening. Empower your clients to move freely, discover their own functional potential, and complete your class soothed, relaxed, stretched, and warm! Equipment Needs: Flotation belts for deep portion of the pool session Special Notes: Space in the classroom to learn the moves would be very helpful (or a studio) Course Name: FLEXIBILITY THAT MOVES YOU Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow/deep Course Description: It’s cool in the pool, but these moves are hot! Learn how to provide full body flexibility with moving choreography, and active range of motion techniques. By understanding and applying established stretching principles, learn simple choreography patterns that will use the cooler water for supported lengthening. We move constantly! Equipment Needs: Noodles for deep portion of the pool session Special Notes: Space in the classroom to learn the moves would be very helpful (or a studio) Course Name: ANALYZE IT, ADD WATER, STRENGTHEN IT Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow Course Description: This workshop looks at safe and effective targeted conditioning. By understanding the importance of anatomical integrity, and equipment design for achieving strength gains, instructors

will learn how to strengthen specific muscle groups in a resistive medium. Types of muscle contractions will be discussed. Effects of buoyant equipment will be taught. Strengthening through stabilization will also be covered. Equipment Needs: Foam equipment like noodles, hand buoys, cuffs. Drag equipment like webbed gloves, paddles, fins. Special Notes: Muscles targeted will depend on the equipment available at the facility. Pauline can bring webbed gloves. Course Name: CHOREOGRAPHY WITH POLLY Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow Course Description: From simple to advanced, this workshop will provide 40 shallow water combinations, choreographed and ready to use in your classes! Learn how to choreograph, and structure your moves to provide logical, safe, effective exercises for all levels of participant. Transitions and cueing will also be covered in detail. Take home all the moves! Equipment Needs: None Special Notes: This is a choreography workshop so the classroom must have space to get up and learn the moves (or a studio would be great) Course Name: TO DECK OR NOT TO DECK Course Type: Workshop Length: 3 hours Depth: Shallow Course Description: The leading practitioners in the water exercise industry advocate the best teaching position from the pool deck. However, it is impossible to lead effectively from the deck unless you have some deck teaching skills. This workshop will provide a hands-on training for all instructors who want to demonstrate water simulation, manage and facilitate better, improve body awareness, motivate, build sequences of moves with good transitions, and look after your own body. It’s also great fun! Equipment Needs: Chairs on deck – one per pair Special Notes: The pool session involves a lot of teaching assignments so we need deck space. Also need space in classroom to work on skills (or a studio) Course Name: PUMP UP YOUR TEACHING SKILLS Course Type: Workshop Length: 8 hours Depth: Shallow Course Description: How often do you find time to really focus on your teaching skills? Who is there to watch and help you improve presentation, demonstration and class management? This teaching clinic is dedicated to YOU!
