Course Objectives:
Introduction to DNS principles and Developmental Kinesiology (DK) - relevance for Pilates instructors.
Summary of philosophies of Joseph Pilates and similarities to DK – e.g. upright spine, physiological breathing, “core” stabilization.
Understanding relationship between development during the first year of life and dysfunction of the movement system in adulthood, including common postural and breathing dysfunctions.
Discussion and demonstration of the foundations of human movement: postural support, stepping forward, biomechanics of motor function, the process of verticalization, and functional joint centration in postural development.
Evaluation and correction of poor respiratory patterns, and instruction in proper breathing techniques through both isolated and integrated DNS and Pilates exercises.
Understanding sagittal stabilization and assessment of the Integrated Spinal Stabilization System (ISSS), both visually and using DNS functional tests.
Integrate DNS tests into pre-Pilates exercises and instruction.
Use of Pilates equipment to facilitate proper motor learning of global movement patterns.
Exercises to enhance movement awareness, motor control, coordination, and range of motion.
Achieving optimal movement parameters: support, stride, biomechanics of movement functions, trunk stabilization and functional joint centration.
Selecting appropriate equipment and exercises to influence stability or mobility in specific body segments for clients or patients.
Identifying the functional threshold of a given exercise. Setting resistances and selecting equipment for modification, intensity and difficulty of the exercise.

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.

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.
