Introduction to NeuroPilates™ Diploma

NeuroPilates is an education programme for Pilates teachers that focuses on learners understanding the neuroscience and neuroanatomy of Pilates and brain health. The courses integrate neurological exercises and principles with the traditional Pilates repertoire with the aim of improving overall brain health.

The aims and teachings of the training are to bring about a more current applied neuroanatomy training to the Pilates industry that is in line with the remarkable advances in brain research. You will be able to help people from all walks of life by understanding their brain and its circuitry better. 

 

Who is this for?

  • Pilates instructors who want a deeper and more current understanding of the brain and nervous system.

  • The first unit is open to anyone with an interest in brain health (doesn’t have to be a Pilates instructor).

  • Those who want to help people who have neurological conditions.

  • Those who want to understand the neurology of movement, posture and overall health.

  • Those who love anatomy.

  • Those who plan to continue studying and learning about the brain beyond these 3 units.

NeuroPilates level 2: THE NEUROPILATES™ REPERTOIRE

This next level 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 neuroanatomical 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.
