Sole to Spine Pilates Umbrella is proud to
present for the first time in the UK, 'Sole to Spine Perspectives', a
two-day course developed by Madeline Black. 'Sole to Spine Perspectives'
is a new format of Madeline's most popular course, providing a full
two-day experience with each day organized as a stand alone one-day
workshop. Participants can attend either day, or both days, and receive a
complete learning experience.
