NeuroPilates Diploma – Dubai

Course Structure

This 3 unit qualification is for those who are already Pilates Instructors or Movement professionals who want to deepen their understanding of applied neuroanatomy and brain health in order to confidently help any client that walks through the door regardless of their ailment.

The diploma is divided into 3 courses:

Unit 1 – Neuroanatomy Foundations for Pilates

Key Neuroscience principles that apply to us as movement professionals.
The Neurology of movement, coordination, motor control and stability.
Practical ways to enhance proprioception and interoception in your sessions.
The anatomy of the visual and vestibular systems and roles in governing movement and posture.
Understanding the different brain lobes and how to incorporate different neurological exercises in to the traditional Pilates repertoire.
Neurological pathways and the importance of training the right and left sides of the body in different ways.
The neurology of Posture and Gait.

Unit 2 – NeuroPilates classes

This next unit in the NeuroPilates Diploma teaches you how to integrate the neurological exercises with the traditional Pilates repertoire in a way that respects and honours the classical work with a contemporary understanding of the body.
In this 5 day live course we will go through each brain lobe in anatomical detail, how to assess its function, as well as how to directly stimulate that part of the brain with the neurological exercises.
You will learn how to structure and theme NeuroPilates classes so that you’re able to offer a class that is stimulating and energising in both mind and body which allows the participant to get to know and understand their own brain over time. This is a very practical, applied neuroscience course. During the live days please make sure you have a mat, a small ball such as a tennis ball and you’re dressed to move. You will also get free access to NeuroPilates classes that you will use for practice after the live days.

Unit 3 – Neural Assessments and Programming

In this course we will be focusing on private sessions as opposed to group classes. You will learn how to take a detailed history of your client, conduct a series of in-depth neurological assessments including dynamic posture, gait analysis, brain tests, movement screen as well as balance, vision and breathing tests. You will also learn associated exercises and suggestions to be able to instantly make decisions based on your clients’ neurological response.
