Introduction

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.
This Diploma will teach you all about the brain, the neurology of base level movement and how to structure and theme your classes in honour of specific areas of the brain. You will also learn some in-depth neurological assessments that go beyond biomechanics to assess your clients overall health and wellbeing and most importantly….. you will learn what to do about it!

This course is a GAME CHANGER for anyone who wants to understand more about the organ that governs everything about us: the BRAIN.

Understanding neuroscience in a practical, applied interactive way will change the way you move, feel, think and interact with people.

The main focus of this course is to give you practical tools that you can apply immediately to improve and optimise your brain health.

The aims and teachings of the program are to bring about a more current type of Pilates that is in line with the remarkable advances in neuroscience and brain research.

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.
