Course Objectives:

 

Review of DNS principles and developmental kinesiology in the context of adult optimal posture and Pilates technique and instruction.

Define and analyze global movement patterns in DNS and Pilates systems and their relationship to enhance the outcomes in Pilates and daily movements within undifferentiated, and differentiated ipsilateral and contralateral stereotypes.

Understand the importance of training body awareness in developmental positions and transitions, to improve clients' motor skills within global movement patterns.

Learn and practice higher developmental exercises with differentiated movement patterns – side lying, oblique sit, tripod, half kneeling, differentiated bear, differentiated squat, lunge, step up and appropriate modifications.

Demonstrate application of DNS concepts in differentiated movement patterns in all movement planes in Pilates.

Integrate corrective exercise principles based on developmental positions into corresponding Pilates exercises.

Understand support and muscle co-activation in contralateral and ipsilateral movement patterns on the mat and apparatus. Learn how the support function and muscle activation change in dynamic movement transitions.

Clearly define dynamic stabilization and joint centration goals within differentiated movement patterns.

Practice and instruct joint centration throughout entire kinetic chain and entire range of motion.

Understand an apply the unique use of semi-open/ semi-closed chains afforded by Pilates apparatus, in modifying/advancing movements.

Understand and practice the importance of maintaining joint centration through the entire kinetic chain and with the addition of resistance, support and instability, from Pilates apparatus.

Understand the influence of Pilates apparatus on kinetic chains – including the possibility of semi closed and semi open chain exercise. 

Review Pilates instruction (verbal and tactile cues) from a DNS perspective 

Apply basic neuro-physiological principles to Pilates program design and progression
