Real people, real testimonials from the BASI Community.
“The Power of Aging, was an invigorating workshop! Rael was as usual full of positive energy, compassion, and always with evolving knowledge. A thousand thanks to BASI headquarter staff for their kindness and positive energy throughout this amazing training! I highly recommend this workshop for any Pilates Teacher out there,” (It should be a certification program).
“The Power of Aging” workshop by Rael Isacowitz and BASI was impressively thorough. The information presented is packed with methods for modification and variation of the BASI repertoire to assist, yet still, challenge our mature client population. A valuable learning experience that ranks comparable with the BASI Comprehensive Teacher Training Program.”
“Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend “The Power of Aging” workshop, created and presented by my Mentor Rael Isacowitz.
What I loved about this workshop is that we explored all facets of wellbeing for the mature population in a unique way. During the lecture part, we got all the essential information about the challenges, the needs, and how to work effectively with our clients. This was perfectly balanced with the repertoire part, where we learnt a lot of exercises, including modifications. All the above combined with Rael’s inspiring and generous way of teaching. All in all, it was an amazing learning experience!”
“The power of aging” workshop was a deep experience! Rael taught with empathy, patience, and with respect towards everyone! It seems he took his injury as a gift and used it as a tool to comprehend better the weak side someone older can have… The sincere, honest teacher that always leads by example!”
“The power of aging workshop was such an inspiring experience to me. Aging, in general, should be an ongoing topic that all populations all age groups should pay attention to for ourselves and others. This workshop brings such a positive, comprehensive approach to it. The learning experience was amazing, it’s a perfect combination of lecture material and movement analysis. And I love the passion and love Rael always brings to us. All in all, it was such a great opportunity to learn from Rael and everyone else attending the workshop, thank you so much for having me! BASI always presents the most amazing programs and workshops and they did it again this time!”
“We know Rael is always inspirational as an instructor. I have dipped in and out of work with him over the past 20 years. This two-day Power of Ageing workshop was particularly well planned with so much relevant content I feel it has given me another angle on the way I can help my clients achieve their bodies’ movement potential. In fact, I believe we are offering a Pilates Superpower to people, helping them access so much more than they think they can at any age. Thanks, Rael, always fun working out with you too! ”
“ I believe the subtle power of aging comes from uniqueness of everyone’s experience.
Multiple life’s verges that we have walked through and keep counting on the go build up truly priceless tool box for every Teacher. Raw experience teaches us all the dos and don’ts, all the shoulds and shouldn’ts, shows us how to treat our bodies in more loving and caring ways, guides us to our major point breaks and helps to surf them in the most graceful manner.
This two-days workshop is about generosity and abundance, about unique tool box (treasure box to be precise!) of one powerful man. Rael selflessly shares enormously huge knowledge he has collected all his life bit by bit. Attendees are only required to be open to this alchemical fountain as learning from the very source is the shortest and most efficient way towards well-being, healthy body and genuine love to selves and people whose lives we touch as Teachers.”
“As a former Principal Ballerina, and current BASI Pilates and Ballet Instructor, I was extremely interested in taking the Pilates for Dancers Certification Course with Karen… and I must say Karen was absolutely AMAZING! She brought new perspectives to my teaching and challenged me to dig deeper. I really enjoyed the lectures on current statistics and anatomy. Like other BASI workshops and certification courses, I left wanting more!”
“The course was wonderful! Going into this course I was worried that there would be a lot that I would not understand, being fresh in my Pilates career and not being a dancer. But I was intrigued by the course because I have always loved dance and thought it was an extraordinary art, then becoming a Pilates instructor, brought in a lot of clients that are dancers that want to enhance their skills. For these reasons, I was drawn to sign up for the Pilates for Dancers course with Karen Clippinger. Every day of the course brought so much new knowledge about dance, pilates, and more about anatomy. Of course, I am young in my journey as an instructor so there was some advanced information, but nothing that was unclear, and the space created at BASI always left room for me to feel like I could ask questions without feeling behind. Karen’s intelligence radiates through everything that she does and combined with BASI this created such an incredible environment to learn and grow as an instructor. I am excited to continue to study the material given to me at the conference so that I may learn more to be a better instructor for my dancers.”
