Movement Principles
The Balanced Body Movement Principles form the foundation of our education. They include the most important information on anatomy, assessment, biomechanics and foundational exercises needed to become a successful Pilates teacher, personal trainer or movement educator. The course mixes information on how the body works with basic exercises to illustrate the information in movement. Broken down into five categories: Whole Body Movement, Trunk Integration, Lower Body Strength and Power, Upper Body Strength and Balance and Dynamic Flexibility, Rest and Relaxation, the Movement Principles provide a solid foundation for training in any environment, with any equipment. You will come away with a complete tool box for effectively training clients to recover from injuries, improve their general fitness and enhance their performance. The focus on practical understanding of common movement patterns prepares instructors to be excellent at problem solving, goal setting and learning new exercise techniques with ease.
Online option available: Student will need to have access to a 6”x 36” foam roller, a 6-8’ piece of theraband and 2 4” inflatable balls for the course.
Starting in January 2026, Balanced Body is launching a new student resource portal - CLARA. When you register for a class with us, you will then receive a link to purchase your REQUIRED digital course materials directly through Balanced Body ($75). We will have physical copies of manuals ($50) for students who wish to purchase them in addition to the digital format but a physical manual is NOT REQUIRED.
