Core Curriculum

Core Stability- the process and skill of learning to exercise to peak performance.
Core stability is the efficient integration of the trunk stabilizing muscles, thereby reducing excessive global recruitment and decreasing strain on the musculoskeletal system. It is desirable to apply these principles to all exercise and rehabilitation protocols, as well as in activities of daily living. Instructors also benefit by using this system approach in their own bodies as they improve their stamina and reduce strain while teaching their clients. Learning core stability proficiency pre-strengthens those clients with special needs. Through the instructors understanding of core training they will better be able to reduce injury rates, improve effectiveness of training and be able to identify and isolate faulty movement patterns. To build range, one goes deeper first, not farther. The core skill technique elevates Pilates instruction to a new teaching plateau for the instructor by embracing the highest standards of teaching.

• Local Stabilizers vs. Global Stabilizers and Mobilizers
• Effective skill development in efficiency of tactile and verbal cueing for core stability
• Anatomy and biomechanics of each core stability system, their anatomical relationship to each other and their influence on posture
• Protocol design of the repertoire from mat to equipment including the use of props

• Pre-Pilates Mat Repertoire with the focus on back strength and maintenance, and the core principles technique.
• In-depth functional anatomy biomechanics: illustrated by 3D presentations and PowerPoint.
• Practical application of these learnings is applied in the analysis of the movement repertoire.
• The course is taught in a noncompetitive supportive environment where each student will experience the work hands-on and will practice the teaching and cueing in one format.
• For the purpose of quality, there is a maximum of 16 students per course.
