A & K Movement Fundamentals
Anatomy and Kinesiology for the movement professional and pilates practitioner.
The house won't fall if the bones are good...
The foundation of my teacher training program is
A&K + Movement Fundamentals.
I was not taught anatomy when I went through training and I was lucky that I had already taken multiple undergraduate A&K classes. I repeat...I was lucky.
Not enough programs thoroughly teach A&K in a way that is easy to digest and even easier to afford. Many just teach to memorize parts of the body but never truly address how to apply what they learn. The application is everything.
The application is everything.
You will be able to immediately apply what you learn in this course to your teaching and personal practice. All of my trainees have grown successful careers and their client retention is unparalleled. I have been teaching A&K to my trainees for years as the beginning of their apprenticeships. They learn the exercises and most importantly can justify, modify and adapt for every body they teach because of their grounding in A&K.

Teaching anatomy to a mover can only be done through movement.
This course prompts you to move as you learn and explore the entire body. In depth presentations and movement analysis can be done at your own pace.
Each chapter contains a downloadable .pdf study guide for you to create your own workbook in your own words. This course spans the entire musco-skeletal system from head to toe. Breaks down the neuromuscular system and gives you a strong foundation in biomechanics.

I have been a movement educator for over twenty years. I found Pilates through my undergraduate curriculum as an injured dance major with years of misuse. Pilates did what years of physical therapy couldn't and became my passion. Using Pilates to heal my body has shaped my teaching method and approach. Guided by the classical method of Joseph Pilates, I teach to educate each body of their individual movement potential.

“I loved it! As a person who has had a hard time “memorizing” anatomy, I found that actually seeing it and having it explained in real life situations made it stick with me. Danica knows her stuff and I am SO GLAD I invested in her program! ”

“An in-depth pilates-specific course that guides you through anatomy and movement but which also encourages you to study independently by providing the material and method to do so. The videos on movement analysis are the highlight of the course that really make all the material click through. ”
Laura Somenzi
“I have taken a college level anatomy course and mini anatomy courses associated with Pilates teacher training courses. Danica's A&K Mvmt Fundamentals course was like a breath of fresh air. Her presentation of the material keeps you engaged. I am a visual learner , and her method of teaching the systems of the body and then applying them to movement makes it all make sense. I highly recommend her course for anyone just starting out in their moment journey. I also highly recommend this course for those seasoned professionals needing to refresh this very important aspect of their craft.”
