This package includes the following:
  • Pilates Anatomy, Second Edition, book
  • Online continuing education exam
Take a detailed look at Pilates with the superbly illustrated exercises in Pilates Anatomy, Second Edition. Choose from 46 exercises to target a particular body region and delve deeper to stretch, strengthen, and finely coordinate specific muscles. See which key muscles are activated, how variations and minor adjustments can influence effectiveness, and how breathing, alignment, and movement are all fundamentally linked.

Use the Personalize Your Practice section for each exercise to vary your clients’ practice and customize workouts to fit their needs. Here you’ll find modifications to make each exercise more accessible when there are limitations such as tight hamstrings or underdeveloped core strength. Variations provide variety, and progressions are offered to add more challenge to each exercise and serve as valuable stepping stones on the journey to a more advanced Pilates practice. Also included are techniques for breathing, concentration, and self-awareness, providing a unique exercise experience that enhances the body and mind.

After reading the book, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.

Great way to get your CE credits

When it came time to renew my PMA certificate I thought I had all the credits I needed from zoom seminars that I had done during the Pandemic. Unfortunately I found out a week before my certificate expired that I would have to appeal to get credit. Not wanting to go through that process I went on line to find something affordable and quick. Not only did it give me the credits but I learned some things Definitely a win win
