MATWORK STAGE-2 INTERMEDIATE  & ADVANCED MOVEMENT 28th & 31ST August-2019

​

Introduction:

This programme is designed to introduce you to the original Pilates repertoire of over 34 movements along with the MK Pilates modifications and variations. The goal is to create a larger body of work to enable you to move your fundamental group Matwork clients toward a more challenging traditional repertoire whilst still adhering to the Michael King Method protocols.

We learn the movements, transition, appropriate stretching and class formatting. For each movement, we develop a difficulty rating together, allowing us to more easily design the class format for the appropriate level of a group. The course also involves homework and a focus on teaching skills, knowledge of the body, and self -practice. This is not a physical test however; the aim is to help you understand what areas of your own technique and teaching practice needs attention while demonstrating the teaching skills appropriate to the level of class you would be expected to be able to teach after completing the course.

​
