01 February 2012
Accredited by the Pilates Foundation UK™, the Trinity Laban
course is the only one of its kind in the UK, specialising in dance
performance enhancement and dance injury rehabilitation using the
Pilates Method.
The 18 month long course offers a minimum of 1,200 hours through
an extensive programme of workshops ranging from ball and small
equipment repertoire, use of breath, mindfulness and working with
remedial conditions, to postural assessment, red flags and
screening. Coursework and teaching covers the use of Pilates with
different populations such as the elderly, post and antenatal
clients, as well as those with conditions such as osteoporosis,
hypermobility and scoliosis.
Course leader, Jessica Moolenaar, who has been training people
for over ten years, says: "Our training will suit people who want
to become teachers and particularly wish to extend their
understanding of specialist topics such as somatic patterning,
anatomy, physiology and fascial plasticity: There are also
specialist lectures on body reading skills, listening skills and
the person-centred therapeutic relationship. These are exclusive to
the Trinity Laban course, and reflect a holistic, somatic and
mindful approach to the Pilates Method.
"All of the teachers certified through our course have found a
full time career and are now considered to be among the best in the
field."
The course is delivered from Laban Pilates, one of the largest
studios in the UK, in Trinity Laban's Faculty of Dance in Deptford.
Students have unlimited access to the studio and are able to work
with dancers and performing artists on a daily basis to maximise
their developing specialism. Students also have access to one of
the largest movement/dance libraries in the UK. Trinity Laban has
an internationally renowned reputation for excellence in Dance
Science and works in close collaboration with Laban Health - a
complementary health clinic including both physiotherapists and
complementary health therapists who have accumulated vast expertise
working with dancers and musicians.
Applications for this course can be accepted until 31 March.
