Pilates Coach Mag. Eva Obenaus showed the students and teachers at the HAK/HAS/TZW, the Commercial Highschool and Ski-and Soccer Training-Center at Waidhofen/Ybbs, some suitable body relaxation and strenghtening exercises for school-days. Good posture at the swiss-ball was practised by students and teachers at the school.

Obenaus also offered some exercises included in her DVD „Lifetime Pilates Drives Your Life“: The „Office Break Program“  for neck and back relaxation and strenghtening. „It is increasingly important to incorporate such exercises during classes, because sitting for a long time is very stressful for the neck and back“ warns Prof. Obenaus.

Many students and teachers used this Pilates workshop to practise and internalise the functional upright seating position. More damanding and challenging Pilates exercises were offered, and Prof. Langer and Prof. Schmutzer discovered the benefits of a perfect „Powerhouse“ not only for good posture but also as the basic skill for their favorite hobby – tennis.

The projekt sponsor, „Volksbank Alpenvorland“, was represented by Mark Rinner and Liz Hirtenlehner, who were pleasantly surprised when they experienced the immediate relaxation of their necks as a result of the foot exercises. Thank you for this great cooperation.
