The Movement Principles form the foundation of Balanced Body Education. The course focuses on structural and muscular functions and then provides basic exercises to illustrate the information in movement. You will explore the following areas and create a foundation for becoming a successful Pilates teacher, personal trainer or movement educator:
- Anatomy,
- Assessment,
- Movement biomechanics,
- Foundation exercises
The Movement Principles provide a solid foundation for training in any environment, with any equipment – a Pilates studio or gym. Our focus is on whole body movement, segmented into five categories:
- Trunk Integration,
- Lower Body Strength and Power,
- Upper Body Strength and Power,
- Balance and Dynamic Flexibility,
- Rest and Relaxation.
Your deeper understanding of the body’s functional movement will help you interpret situations you find with clients. This knowledge, combined with the exercise tool box you will develop, will allow you to effectively train clients recovering from injuries or to improve their general fitness and athletic performance. The focus on practical understanding of common movement patterns prepares instructors to be excellent at problem solving, goal setting and learning new exercise techniques with ease.
