This course is designed to augment a teacher’s understanding of the Pilates movement principles- incorporating breath, core activation and movement sequences.   In addition, instruction in fundamental anatomy will be discussed so that the movement educator will have a deeper understanding of how it relates to the Pilates repertoire.    

Participants will be educated in how to recognize postural deviation and mal-alignments in their clients during exercise execution.  Varying facilitation techniques to enhance muscular control and counteract asymmetrical movement patterns will also be utilized.  Specific exercise selection will be discussed for those individuals that require modifications or enhancement for their training.
