Pilates continues to grow in popularity, giving health and exercise professionals more opportunities to incorporate its principles into a variety of training environments. But effective mat Pilates instruction goes beyond knowing the exercises. It requires recognizing what is happening as clients and participants move and knowing when to cue, modify or progress a movement based on what you observe.

In this video, Tabatha Russell, founder of tabPILATES, offers a preview of this coaching approach in action.

This clip is a preview of Pilates Mat Foundations: Building Strength Through Principles, which takes a practical approach to foundational mat exercises, helping you identify movement priorities and common compensations, select appropriate corrections and use clear, actionable cues to help clients move with greater control and confidence.

Throughout this two-hour course, you’ll learn how to make informed coaching decisions in real time using an applicable and repeatable framework. You’ll practice recognizing when a client is ready to progress, when an exercise should be modified and which cues can help improve alignment, control and movement quality.

Pilates Mat Foundations: Building Strength Through Principles (worth 0.2 ACE CECs) provides practical tools you can immediately use to adapt Pilates mat exercises to individual client/participant needs and deliver safer, more effective instruction.
