When we have tension in our nervous system, it can have effects all the way through the body. Just like our muscles, nerves need to move!
As a Pilates teacher, knowing the pathways of the major peripheral nerves in the arm and the leg can allow you to safely add neural mobility (neurodynamics) into your class programming. Integrating neurodynamics will help your clients gain improvements in muscle strength and flexibility, and allow them to deepen their Pilates practice.
Join physical therapist and clinical Pilates educator Kobi Jack for this one-hour workshop on neurodynamics, focusing on how to integrate neural techniques into your Pilates teaching.
You’ll learn how to…
- Define neurodynamics
- Understand the difference between neural sliders and neural tensioners
- Recall the major nerve pathways in the upper limb and lower limb
- Pilates exercises that incorporate the principles of neurodynamics
It takes courage to have tough conversations, but doing so can remove the fear and lead to greater empathy and understanding.
At next month’s PMA Connects, Carla Harris, PMA Executive Director, will be joined by Misty Lynne Cauthen, Owner of DragonFly Pilates and Robin Brody, Senior Pilates Instructor at Equinox, for an open and honest discussion on diversity in the Pilates industry. We hope you’ll leave with a better understanding of the following:
- Why it’s important to be part of an organization that represents every person who teaches or practices Pilates
- Why diversity is also about where you practice, how you teach and the methods and styles you use
- Why it’s critical to continue to have the tough conversations
