What you'll learn

  • Human anatomy
  • The anatomy necessary to take Pilates teacher training courses

Requirements

  • No prerequisites

Description

When I started my Pilates training, I knew zero anatomy. Literally, nothing. I was intimidated — big time. When I began my Pilates teacher training course everyone seemed to talk-the-talk. I listened and nodded pretending I knew what they were talking about and hoped I didn’t get called on. Needless to say, this was not a great way to begin my training. I was in over my head.

I want you to have a different experience. I want you to walk into your first Pilates course with the confidence and knowledge to crush it.

This course will:

  • Build your foundational knowledge of anatomy,

  • Teach you to use the correct anatomical language that will be used throughout your Pilates teacher training courses,

  • Give you the skills to understand the anatomy of an exercise, which will allow you to teach directly to your client’s needs,

  • Set you up for long-term success and give you the confidence to teach with knowledge.

If you don’t know what muscles an exercise targets, how can you give a client a well-balanced, educated workout?

Who this course is for:

  • Individuals with an interest in becoming a Pilates instructor
  • Existing Pilates instructors who want to understand anatomy better
  • Individuals who are interested in learning more about the human body and movement
  • Pilates lovers who want to understand more about the body

Hi, my name is Holly Furgason and I’m the Founder and CEO of Blue Sparrow Pilates, the Merithew Licensed Training Center in San Francisco, California. I have over 20 years of teaching experience working with everyone from professional and Olympic athletes to cancer survivors. You can find me anywhere from Michigan to South Korea teaching the next generation of Pilates instructors. It’s my passion and life purpose to spread the benefits of Pilates to those that need it. It’s this passion that has enabled to me to build and successfully run my studio, Blue Sparrow Pilates, in the heart of San Francisco for over 10 years.


In addition to teaching Pilates Training Courses around the world and in San Francisco, I write the teaching blog, The Hatchery, developed a Pilates app called Fit Pregnancy, and contribute writing to Pilates Style Magazine, PilatesIntel, Pilates-Pro, PilatesPal, and Profitable Pilates.


I received my STOTT PILATES® certification in 2001, became an Instructor Trainer for STOTT PILATES® in 2011, and a Lead Instructor Trainer in 2016. 20 years later, I’m still here and want to help you become the best instructor your can be.

I can’t wait to see you in one of my courses soon!

Happy teaching!

Holly
