Course Objectives and Description:
Discussion of different core strategies and their effect on respiration, relaxation, spinal elongation and functional joint centration during static and dynamic loading.
A brief review of sagittal stabilization, working in open and closed kinetic chains, and ipsilateral and contralateral patterns. Correcting dysfunctional patterns with coordinated co-contraction of antagonists and functional respiration to improve dance, yoga and pilates postures. Emphasize the importance of support as well as relaxation in movement patterns.
Discuss the difference between a “developmental” supine triple flexed position and a “visual” triple flexed position, and the implications on centration and activation of the intrinsic spinal stabilization system.
Become comfortable in understanding cervical spine and scapular stabilization using concepts of loading and centration, and using DNS neurodevelopmental principles to improve “port de bra” positioning.
Using DNS active exercise positions to centrate the foot (correcting sickling and winging), knee and hip and to coordinate muscles in the pelvic girdle and lower extremities.
Explore how to avoid over-activation of the hip flexors using DNS locomotor patterns while at the same time improving turn out through hip joint centration, thereby correcting hip impingement issues.
Review the neurodevelopmental aspects and foot and hand support of various yoga asanas- downward dog, triangle and cobra.
Brief introduction to integrate the use of DNS principles and developmental positions into interactive flow sequences, known as “DNS Flow”.

Prague School registration fee helps to support DNS scientific activities, to collect new video/photo material, to develop the DNS handouts and publishing activities, to present the DNS system at the scientific congresses, and to present the DNS concept online. |
It is not a payment for the course. Please contact the local organizer to secure your enrollment in the course and make sure that the course is not full, prior to paying Prague School registration fee. Once your PS fee is completed, your registration will automatically be sent to the course organizer. After that, payment of course fees can be made with the organizer. The organizer reserves the right to request proof of licensure.
The Prague School registration fee is non-refundable.
Without your online registration and PS fee payment you will not be permitted to attend any DNS course nor will you receive the Prague School Certificate of Attendance; thus you cannot take the DNS test and you will not be allowed to register for later advanced courses.
Thank you for your understanding
