    Improving observation and imitation while learning movement: a neuroscience perspective

    Tele-class outline:

    • What are mirror neurons? How can they help you improve learning or teaching movement?
    • If you believe a movement is impossible can you “see” it?
    • Is it better to teach a beginner in the first or third person perspective?
    • Incorporating theory, research and practice

    Posted By in Blog, Events, Special Topics, Student Forum, Studio Forum With | No Comments
    Seva Sessions = Seva is a sanscrit word meaning selfless service.
    Starting in November Pilates Collective will be offering up to 10 hours of free one-on-one sessions per month to those in need.

    Although we will keep the  process very informal – no application required — potential Seva students must be referred by current students or teachers and sessions will be given on a first come, first serve basis. Each candidate will be gifted 1-2 sessions. We will have 1 rotating spot that will include up to 10 or more sessions. Please ask us for more information.

    We are excited to be offering the tremendous gift Pilates as a service to our community. If you have suggestions about groups or organizations that we might reach out to, please let us know.
    In the meantime, here are some loose guidelines.
