MISSION PILATES INSTRUCTOR Training and education courses!

The Human Anatomy course focuses on just that. The course covers the skeletal system, nervous system, muscular structure, and so much more!

Movement and Anatomy takes what we have learned in Human Anatomy and applies it to movement patterns. This class is about understanding how these systems work together, work against each other, how movements can be helpful or harmful, and which structures are being used to perform different movements.
