Basic Science Preparation – Pilates Training

Participants gain a solid scientific foundation in subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and Pilates principles.

This program teaches a holistic understanding of the body, not just its external appearance, but its muscles, joints, and movement systems. This allows participants to practice Pilates movements consciously and safely, providing a strong foundation for advanced training.
