The first part of the day is based on the basics: theoretical and practical concrete understanding of the part of the body that we will learn to manage and control by applying the basic principles of Pilates. The second part of the day is based on the application of movement fundamentals. You will get acquainted with the history and philosophy of Pilates, the main principles, you will learn correct spinal alignment, movement control and breathing techniques.

Program

-History and philosophy of the Pilates method. Principles of Pilates.

– Anatomy of the Pilates method.

– Breathing and its technique, movement control.

– Attitude analysis. Correct Posture.

– Spine positions.

– The importance of exercise and its performance.

– MASTER CLASS lesson (beginner level.)

Between modules there is time for students to practice, understand and integrate all the fundamentals and movements of the body, meaning that students must practice every day to arrive ready for the next session. A private Matwork Facebook group will be created where you can post videos, edit videos, ask questions. All doubts must be cleared before the next session.

We will analyze the various movements in the exercises (as we started doing during Module I) and understand how to make them easier or harder, depending on the client’s problems or capabilities. In order to go deeper, we will learn to understand the small details of the method. We will keep the control ideas of Jozef Pilates, but add a bit of evolution because we have more anatomical and biomechanical knowledge these days.

– Practicing breathing and performing movements.

– Movements for special groups of people.

-Regression and progression of movements, performance technique.
