NWCC Pilates® Fundamental Mat Introductory Course

NWCC Pilates® Fundamental Mat Introductory Course

This online Introductory Mat Course outlines the philosophy, principles and concepts as discussed in the Fundamental Matwork Course 101. The Fundamental Matwork training and exercises are described in the Workbook, which offers a basic understanding of the NWCC Pilates® Fundamental Transitional Exercise System. This system is a modern day version of the Pilates Method known as Bodiesology®.

Those students and teachers who have trained in the Pilates Method are aware of its founder, Joseph Pilates; however, this Introductory Mat Course describes his role in bringing together this world renown system of physical education, also known as “Contrology.”  As well, this Introductory Mat Course describes the principles and concepts, which Pilates himself founded almost a hundred years ago.

We are privileged to teach this online Introductory Mat Course, as a way of honoring the teachings of Joseph Pilates, and at the same time, bringing forward a new way of thinking, in terms of the physical conditioning of the body. The mind and body approach to fitness has reached a turning point with the knowledge brought forward in modern science. We are offering an expanded view of this mind and body approach to encompass the understanding of the energetic body, which plays a role in the awareness and movement of the body. 

We are excited to teach an online Fundamental Mat Course (101) that further develops the Pilates Method, unifying the understanding of mind, body, energy and consciousness. This understanding of the whole self is not only for teachers but for those individuals who seek a new experience in physical training and strengthening. It is the discovery of mind that is allowing the change, at this time, and we are grateful for the opportunity to provide this outstanding online Fundamental Mat Course (101).
