ANATOMY:  The Core and Lower Body Biomechanics

Date & Time: This 1-day intensive course is to be held on Saturday, October 16th from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Cost: $199 ( includes a manual)

Short on time? This is an intensive, detailed anatomy class of the lower body and “core”.   You will learn detailed anatomy in a relaxed, yet focused environment.  Rob teaches anatomy in a way that anyone can understand and gives you tips on how to remember the muscles and grasp complicated biomechanical movements.  We will cover which muscles are used in specific Pilates exercises as well as every day movements (run, walk, lunge, squat, calf work, etc.).  We will discuss how an injury or dysfunction effects the entire lower chain. We will also cover how the lower body effects the ability of the core to function.  You will come away from this class with a greater understanding of the anatomy and function of the lower body, how to avoid injury, and how to train yourself or your client more effectively. 

 Who should attend:

Anyone who wants a greater understanding of how the knee, ankle and hip should function and how that function effects performance as well as quality of life:  Health professionals, recreational athletes, trainers, Pilates instructors, elite athletes, anyone curious about how their body functions.
