Implicit vs Explicit Memories

Pause for a second and think of your favourite activity and then connect it with how you feel when you’re doing it. Procedural memory is intimately connected to our emotions via neural pathways.

So Much More Than Yoga Pants

There are researchers in the field of movement that study and write thesis assignments based on the work that they do. Movement Specialists, studio owners, teacher training schools read these and create easy to understand programs based on this research to be made available to all Pilates Instructors and movement practitioners. This is called continuing education.
