Introduction to Anatomy is designed for those studying towards a Certificate in Pilates Matwork Instruction or Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction (10537NAT), or for anyone who is interested in learning more about the body and how it works. Held at and for National Pilates Training this short course is held multiple times through our the year with both online and face to face components.

I have designed the face to face component of the course to be as fun and enjoyable as possible while still relaying the information as effectively as possible with the view of catering to all types of learners.
