What makes this course unique compared to other courses?

These courses focus deeply on alignment protocol, hands-on/tactile feedback, understanding movement, gait and compensation patterns, working with common ailments as well as postural awareness and assessments. Education in program development for private clientele allows the student to focus on creative movement integration for the individual progressively working towards group instruction. One of the greatest benefits of this course is the small group training size between 2 to 6 students maximum.

What makes Pilates apparatus different than mat? Is mat important?

Pilates mat provides the essential basis for technique. This is where one develops concepts of movement proprioception, breath work and execution of proper form. Pilates' mat curriculum is integrated within the apparatus repertoire and its important foundational concepts blend into a greater understanding of the Pilates work.  Working with Pilates' versatile apparatus gives the instructor an enormous amount of liberty when choosing which movements are appropriate for an individual or group class. This work allows a deeper freedom of movement in all planes of motion using a bio-mechanically supported spring system. The fascial system learns to unwind and is safely re-educated to elongate and decompress the musculo-skeletal system. Ultimately, this provides structural freedom and greater strength and mobility in all joints.

Pre-requisite: approval by instructor.
