Pilates Leadership Introspective:
An In-depth Experience, Beyond the Exercises.

Taught and Mentored by Marie-José Blom

Overview
Where can teachers go to be inspired, to refresh and update their knowledge; even to be motivated to be peerless in their field of expertise?

As times are challenging, clients invest more proactively in a healthy body and therefore will rely more on our deeper knowledge. Thus meeting the demands of this changing market from fitness to wellness takes a deepening and expanding approach. The gap between science and movement is narrowing very fast. Therefore, these are exciting times for integration of new information and reconfirmation of concepts we always knew but could not be acknowledged.

My intention with this program is to share my passion for renewal and to give you the opportunity to indulge in greater detail of our work with the emphasis on sound biomechanics, a sharper eye for detail and to share my unique to client assessment.

In this setting, you will develop a more profound appreciation and understanding of the Pilates concept that goes hand in hand with a deeper understanding of the functional anatomy.
