“I didn’t want to become a Pilates instructor, I just wanted to know more about Pilates. I signed up for the Mat+Anatomy training so I could do just that. I learned about human anatomy and how it functioned. I learned how our muscles relate to each other and our bone structure. By learning the names of the muscles, I could understand the cueing in class more correctly. I learned to visualize terms such as extension, flexion, protract, retraction as they relate to my body movement. Best of all, when an instructor specifically names the muscle that should be working in a particular series, I am now able to move more correctly. This keeps me from injuring myself. I enjoyed learning how to teach others specific moves, which helped me to learn more completely about the move. This training has helped me move more efficiently and effectively. ”
