Learning Outcomes - The fundamentals

By the end of this course, you'll be able to

  • Engage your core

    You'll learn what it feels like to engage your core and pelvic floor muscles. You'll practice engaging through various levels 1-10 using the 'lift technique' to understand how it feels when we work at level 10, 7 or 3

  • Breath Correctly

    One of the hardest principles to master, yet something we do everyday. You'll learn how to breath 'the pilates way'. Inhaling laterally into the lungs and exhaling deep into the abdomen to increase core engagement.

  • Work in imprint or neutral spine

    Instructors often talk about imprint or pelvic neutral. We will help you understand how to tilt the pelvis effectively and correctly so you can choose when to work in imprint and when to advance to pelvic neutral
