The Functional Anatomy course fully prepares students for STOTT PILATES® training and serves as a refresher for anyone needing to fulfill the anatomy prerequisite for intensive courses. The classroom-style presentation utilizes visual aids and hands-on techniques to provide students with a thorough review of anatomy basics which will be instrumental in the completion of all Matwork and equipment-based courses.

This lecture-based course covers a complete range of functional anatomy topics. Th material presented will enable instructors to effectively apply biomechanical principles to teaching exercises and programming workouts for both personal training clients and group classes.
