I'm currently on my second week of the program and while it's getting more overwhelming with every class, I'm still enjoying every moment of it.
In our first 4-hour class we mostly went through the basics of the program itself, signed some more paperwork and made sure everyone understood what it's all about and what to expect moving forward. Luckily (?) there's only one other student in my class, so we'll be getting a lot of attention in our, basically, private sessions. We also discussed observation and practice hours, exams and projects that we will have to work on throughout the next couple of months.
Then we went straight into the material and started discussing the Nuts and Bolts of Pilates. Posture, alignment and main body parts to look out for, what to adjust, how to adjust and, and, and wow. We also started reading through Grounding, which is basically a warm up and breathing exercise for Pilates.
In the next session we finished Nuts and Bolds and jumped into Philosophy. Now that was a lot. I still haven't gotten around to reading through it again, let alone study it. And I'm already halfway through week 2 at this point. Oh my, I need to work up a study plan immediately. Any advice and tips are more than welcome. HELP!
My classmate was missing for the first part of the class and so I went through a lot one on one with our teacher, really looking into involved muscles, looking up pictures of everything, as I'm a visual/practical study type of person it seems. Time flew by and before I knew it, we had covered 65 pages of material and therefore finished our first week of "basics". Detailed basics. The most detailed basics in the history of basics. Haha!
