Anatomy for Pilates Instructors
Pilates Anatomy + Movement
To complete your Pilates Certification, you must complete two Anatomy workshops; Anatomy of the Limbs and Anatomy of the Trunk. There is no specific order as to which course to take first.
Anatomy: Movement of the Limbs
Good teachers know the names of muscle groups, great teachers can use their understanding of anatomy to create better programs for their clientele. In Anatomy of the Limbs, you will study all major muscle groups pertaining to the upper extremity joint movements and their muscles and primary actions within the body. We will then apply this knowledge to the Pilates repertoire. Memorizing the names of muscle groups will not enhance your teaching, but learning anatomy while moving your body will. Required Materials: Pilates Anatomy By: Rael Isacowitz & Karen Clippinger*Can be purchased on Amazon
August 20, 2021 | 3:30pm-7:30pm | Cost: $175
Deconstructing Pilates and the Anatomy of Movement
This workshop is geared towards breaking-down specific Pilates exercises piece by piece.
This workshop will focus on only a few exercises to help breakdown the movement sequence, purpose, muscle activity, modifications for specific injuries, cueing, purpose of the exercise, modifications for all levels, and precautions. Example: Start position, what muscles are being used, how to engage those muscles, how to cue your clients into each position throughout the entire exercise.

The absolute best way to home in on your teaching skills is to get feedback while teaching clients. During a teaching lab, you will bring an individual to teach a full Pilates session on. Maria will videotape your teaching and review the footage with you and the other instructors attending the teaching lab. During the review process, the instructor will receive constructive criticism based on the session he or she has just taught. This is an excellent way to take your teaching to the next level, and to prepare you for your Pilates test-out.
