Programme overview: 

This programme expands on the historical teachings of Joseph and Clara Pilates and others dedicated to their work. Recognising this seminal work through the anatomy of fascia, teaches you to teach others to “return to life”.

The original Pilates Methodology will be studied and learnt through a neuromyo fascial lens, learning and utilising the Anatomy Trains map as your guide. This multi-dimensional programme is an in-depth study of the nature of the neuromyo fascial body. 

You'll be learning about the fundamentals of universal movement and Pilates and fascial principles, to make sense of the repertoire for restored mechanical auto-regulated organisation. 

You will learn how influential and essential the recent 'anatomy of fascia' has become - and how important it is in securing your position as a truly authoritative and respected Pilates teacher in the world today. 

On qualification you will be eligible to sit the PMA Third Party Certification.
