Course Introduction
A progression from the Mat Pilates Fundamentals course, this course teaches you many more mat work exercises from the Joseph H. Pilates original repertoire, at improver and intermediate level and how to adapt and progress them.
The workshop will add to the theory behind neutral alignment and good posture and how to help your clients achieve this. It will also give you ideas on how to incorporate small mat equipment such as stability balls and resistance bands, to give interest and variety to your Pilates sessions.
What Our Students Say...
"I already had a level 2 qualification and I was looking for something that would extend my knowledge beyond the basics. Future Fit provided the support I needed to ensure I was competent and capable in delivering the exercises to my clients. They took the time to ensure I had everything I needed to pass and I’ve decided to go on and do my advanced Pilates course with them."
