So far 2026 has been a year for continued continuing education. I’ve since enrolled in these courses:

• Centre for Women’s Fitness (now Carolyn Anthony Method) – Rocking & Rolling to Release, Pre & Post Natal Mat & Equipment Trainings
• Core Exercise Solutions PCES and Pelvis Pro courses
• Asia Pilates Summit 2026: Aligned Knee Workshop

Courses I’ve joined online:

• KPlix Posture Series
• Humani Moves Courses on Class Sequencing & Cueing
• Precision Nutrition Level 1 (PN1)

(Update: As of July 2026, I’ve also joined a Neuropilates Level 1 training)

Theme 1: Working with the body, not against it

Many of these courses emphasize understanding why the body moves the way it does rather than forcing it into an ideal position.

Examples:

• Rocking & Rolling to Release → facilitating tissue release and nervous system regulation.
• PCES & Pelvis Pro → respecting physiological changes, adapting exercise appropriately.
• Aligned Knee Workshop → understanding how the whole body influences knee mechanics.

Common thread: Meet the body where it is and improve function through intelligent input.

Theme 2: Whole-person movement instead of isolated muscles

Rather than thinking “strengthen the glutes” or “stretch the hip flexors,” these courses encourage looking at the interconnected system.

Across them you’ll find:

• Fascia
• Core and pelvic floor
• Breathing
• Posture
• Movement chains
• Load distribution
• Functional movement

The question shifts from:

“Which muscle is weak?”

to:

“How is this person organizing movement?”

Theme 3: Nervous system-informed coaching

Although only some courses explicitly mention the nervous system, it’s a recurring principle.

• Gentle myofascial work improves body awareness.
• Cueing changes motor learning.
• Sequencing affects movement quality.
• Pregnancy and postpartum training requires managing load and recovery, not just building strength.

The focus becomes creating conditions for better movement rather than forcing better movement.

Theme 4: Assessment → intervention → integration

Each course contributes to a different part of the coaching process.

• KPlix Posture Series → observe movement.
• PCES/Pelvis Pro → understand underlying contributors.
• Rocking & Rolling → prepare tissues and improve mobility.
• Aligned Knee → refine movement strategies.
• Sequencing & Cueing → integrate changes into exercise.
• PN1 → support adaptation through nutrition and behaviour.

Together they form a complete coaching framework rather than isolated techniques.

Theme 5: Lifelong movement and resilience

None of these are about teaching advanced Pilates tricks.

Instead, they all ask:

• How do we help people move well?
• How do we reduce unnecessary pain or stiffness?
• How do we build strength that lasts?
• How do we support people through different life stages?
