    1.6 CECs (16 hours) at Heeren
    SGD 2,640 inclusive of course fee, study materials and props bundle

    Designed for fitness, medical and therapy professionals, Fascial Movement workshops and courses explore the latest research findings on the neuromyofascial skeletal system.

    With an emphasis on movement variables including Bounce, Sense, Expand and Hydrate, Fascial Movement training offers a thorough understanding of what fascia is, what it does, how it moves and how to work with it across a range of varying modalities.

    Upon completion of the Instructor Course, participants will be able to incorporate content taught in the course to their existing qualifications/training and can use the term “trained in Fascial Movement”.

    General course objectives

    • Identify the components of fascia and be able to explain its role and relevance to movement

    • Articulate the difference between tensegrity and traditional force and lever-based biomechanics

    • Define and explore fascial movement variables such as Bounce, Sense, Expand and Hydrate

    • Develop programs for clients of all levels integrating specific fascial movement variables

    Part 1 of the Halo Training Instructor Foundation Course provides groundwork education for Instructors, facilitating safe, effective and varied core-integrated body weight training programs, using the unique design of the Halo Trainer Plus, Stability Ball™ and a Resistance Loop™ band.

    More than just a prop, the Halo Trainer Plus is featured as the basis for a complete training program allowing instructors to manipulate exercise attributes and intensity in individual training plans for Level 1 clients.

    The course presents the concepts of interval training principles and variables, the theories of both timed and repetition-based programs, and exercise sequences that are applicable to any healthy client new to Halo Training. Discover the model for movement mastery in this interactive learning session and take away a plethora of detailed exercises in eight complete workouts, including one designed for a group class setting.

    Note, due to the intensity of the program and material covered in the Foundation Courses, we recommended that participants wait at least 3 months following the successful completion of the Halo Training Foundation Course, Part 1 before taking Part 2.

Workshops

  • Tue, Apr 06, 2027 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
    0.2 CECs (2 hours) at Heeren
    400 SGD

    The goal of this workshop is to introduce the concept of interval training and explore how the technique could be introduced in a group class. Many clients are not able to tolerate a full 45 to 60 minute high intensity interval workout, so the technique should be introduced slowly in group class settings. Utilizing the innovative design of the Halo Trainer and Stability Ball, participants will learn an introductory-level group class and explore how to transition smoothly from one exercise to another to maximize flow and build a solid foundation. Help novice clients or those new to Halo® Training get the most out of their workout by learning and understanding how to implement this system in an interval-style class.

    Learning objectives

    1. Understand the concept and value of interval training and how this type of training can be introduced in a group class setting

    2. Learn Halo incorporated body weight training exercises that can be used in an intermittent interval group class

    3. Explore the Halo Trainer and how to choose appropriate exercises for beginner clients

    4. Discover how to use transitions to move smoothly through this type of workout

  • Wed, Apr 07, 2027 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
    0.2 CECs (2 hours) at United Square

    Experience the ZEN•GA® Mindful Movement approach using the Vertical Frame. This workshop blends fascial fitness concepts with breath, support, yield, and flow to enhance body awareness and movement efficiency. Explore three-dimensional sequences using springs, the V2 Vinyasa Triangle, fuzzy straps, and a Mini Stability Ball to challenge dynamic stabilization, whole-body integration, and fluid transitions. Participants will leave with fresh programming ideas that blend strength, mobility, and mindful exploration, offering a unique movement experience that is both grounding and invigorating.

    Learning objectives

    1. Apply ZEN•GA Mindful Movement Principles to a variety of whole-body movements.

    2. Identify opportunities to experience long-chain myofascial continuities in action.

    3. Demonstrate how a mindful movement approach supports and enhances an experiential understanding of the neuro-myo-fascial web.

    4. Integrate ZEN•GA programming concepts utilizing the V2 Max mat converter and vertical frame.

  • Wed, Apr 07, 2027 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
    0.2 CECs (2 hours) at United Square
    400 SGD

    Enhancing upon positions in ZEN•GA® V2 Vinyasa Level 1, this level 2 program increases the demands on the neuromyofascial web, improving strength and stamina. Developed by the STOTT PILATES® Academy team this program incorporates the ZEN•GA® mindful movement principles into this unique routine, focusing on fluidity and stability of the joints and clarity of the mind. Coordination and strength are challenged with longer static holds against the Reformer’s spring resistance, resulting in overall improved fitness.

    Learning objectives

    1. Apply the Mindful Movement Principles exercises on the V2 Max Plus Reformer

    2. Understand how spring resistance can increase challenge when poses are held

    3. Learn how specific Reformer accessories can facilitate various positions

    4. Discover how to create blended programs that bring strength, calm and control

    Learn a clear, practical framework for breaking down complex Reformer exercises and rebuilding them into accessible, teachable progressions. This workshop explores how multi-part, multi-directional movements can be analyzed, simplified, and sequenced to help clients succeed with confidence. You’ll learn how to identify the foundational movement patterns within advanced repertoire and how to use layering, cueing, and variations to guide clients toward more challenging combinations. Ideal for instructors who want to expand their teaching toolbox, this session provides strategies for creating creative, effective, and safe Reformer progressions for both group and private training.

    Learning objectives

    1. Define what makes a Reformer exercise complex and outline its key criteria.

    2. Analyze how to implement three key strategies for teaching complex Reformer exercises effectively.

    3. Simplify complex movements into manageable variations using teaching tips and learning tools to create a clear path for group modification and progression.

    4. Apply Fascial Movement Training Variables (Bounce, Sense, Expand, Hydrate) to foundational Reformer patterns to design dynamic, adaptive movement sequences to create safe, engaging classes that feel fresh and purposeful.

    5. Integrate mindful movement skills that help participants translate Reformer exercises into everyday functional movement.
