6 CEs NPCP Learn fascial and motor control strategies that allow progression to more advanced Pilates vocabulary and open avenues of alleviation for stubborn “benign” symptoms.

6 CECs NCPT. Enhance your teaching with practical, physiological tools for breath training. Learn to assess and retrain breathing patterns, organize the 5 diaphragms, and support functional breath for improved movement, posture, and performance in your Pilates sessions.
6 CECs NCPT. Learn about the nature of fascia and how teaching with fascial intent drives efficiency, effectiveness and quality into all our exercises. Teachers will learn not only the anatomy, its importance from womb to birth to adulthood, but also the compensatory patterns that can hinder our improvement.
Discover how spinal asymmetry evolves through adulthood—from post-partum to aging clients—and how Pilates can address fascial, neurologic, and skeletal changes. Learn to adapt sessions for each life phase with targeted strategies for balance, mobility, and stability.
Pre-natal time in Pilates is concerned with acknowledging the trimester precautions while also preparing the woman’s body for a very physical event. In post-natal restoration, focus is on restoration to avoid physical risks of the 1st stages of post-partum, up to 18 months.
6 CECs NCPT. Learn about how Pilates helps bone health in varying ways throughout the lifespan with a fascia-focused emphasis. Become knowledgeable about what exercises to include and which to avoid to sidestep the “one size fits all” concept of low bone density activity in Pilates.
6 CECs NCPT. Learn how to work safely and confidently with students with prolapse while also encouraging progression in the Pilates paradigm. You will learn the types and stages of prolapse as well as the evidence-based bio-tensegrity and fascial integrity framework for improvement.
1 CECs NCPT. Discover how lymphatic anatomy supports self-care in Pilates through techniques that aid recovery from cancer treatment, surgery, and childbirth, while enhancing healing, pain relief, and overall well-being.
6 CECs NCPT. Support clients through hip replacement recovery with Pilates-based movement, fascia-focused strategies, and practical post-op guidance. Learn how to address swelling, nerve disruption, and muscle imbalance for a safe return to movement and improved quality of life.
2 CEC NPCP. Learn fascial and motor control strategies that allow progression to more advanced Pilates vocabulary and open avenues of alleviation for stubborn “benign” symptoms.
