This isn't your typical CEC workshop. This course takes decades of knowledge and practice and delivers it in a succinct, straightforward and easy-to-digest program that you can put into practice right away. No fluff. No BS.
In the lectures, Mariska explains complex science in simple terms, shows you what's possible with the right methods and techniques, then teaches you practical ways to get results for yourself and your clients.
Mariska was diagnosed with MS in 2002, and Meghann has been dealing with the aftermath of multiple concussions since she was 18. The two teachers have dedicated thousands of hours (and tens of thousands of dollars) researching and testing brain-body exercise and symptom management strategies for themselves and subsequently, their diverse clients, and they want to share what works so you don't have to waste time and money on what doesn't.
After 45 years combined in the movement business, they've discovered that there are certain strategies and exercises that CONSISTENTLY – and in some cases IMMEDIATELY – get results. There are also lots of outdated methods and boring, ineffective exercises that will keep you spinning your wheels forever.
Whether you're a PT who has been trained neuro clients for years or a new fitness instructor who is looking for a playbook to start working with this massively underserved population – this course will teach you something that will be game-changing for your clients and your business.
Learning doesn't stop at theory. When you join our in-person Neuro Labs, you'll:
- Work directly with Mariska and Meghann for hands-on guidance in-person and direct personalized feedback in real time
- Connect with the Neuro Studio community, teachers we know are the best in the business
- Practice with real clients experiencing the conditions and symptoms addressed in the course
- Since not everyone can join in person, you also have the option to participate via Zoom. Our virtual group is fully supported and monitored by the instructor who isn't teaching live, so you receive real-time guidance and personalized attention - not just passive observation
Neuro Labs are optional and offered at an additional fee of $449 per lab — but when you bundle them today, you'll save $100 per lab.
We've designed these labs as an incredible opportunity to deepen your learning, practice hands-on techniques (whether you attend in person or join via Zoom), and build confidence alongside peers and mentors.

Common Questions
This course is designed for Pilates & fitness instructors, physical therapists & occupational therapists. It's also appropriate for patients.
Yes! While this course covers MS, Parkinson’s Disease & stroke in-depth and we mainly focus on central nervous system diseases, we also discuss methods for working with people who have peripheral nervous system injuries and diseases. Examples of other applicable conditions and injuries include brain and spinal cord injuries, transverse myelitis, motor neuron disease, post polio syndrome, and Charcot Marie Tooth.
The methods and exercises in this course are designed to help ANYONE who struggles with common symptoms like balance problems, gait issues, weakness & single-sided weakness, spasticity, rigidity, foot drop, and bladder & bowel problems.
You’ll learn how to harness the power of the brain body connection and achieve greater results with your movement training using exercise and neuroplasticity.
These techniques and exercises will work for ANY client who has a brain and a body!
This is a self-paced online course with 4 core modules. Your registration includes lifetime access so you can watch it on your own schedule and refer back to the lessons anytime.
Pilates for Neurological Conditions covers the multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and stroke disease processes in depth, as well as issues common to many neurological diseases, including balance difficulties, weakness, muscle spasticity and rigidity, bladder problems, and gait abnormalities.
You will learn how to assess causes of movement issues, work with single side weakness to create better muscle balance, determine ineffective compensations and help remedy them, how and when to stretch to manage spasticity, techniques to create “detour circuitry” in the brain and spinal cord to work around existing nervous system damage...and much, MUCH more.
This course overs dozens of proven strategies and hundreds of creative, effective exercises that will help you get better results.
No. Some familiarity with anatomy is helpful, but if you have a brain and a body, you can follow this course! You do not need to have prior Pilates or neurological education or certifications to take this course.
No. You'll learn dozens of effective strategies that you can implement with clients with or without Pilates equipment. The course also covers 300+ exercises both with AND without Pilates equipment so you'll never run out of ideas or options you can use with any client in any setting.

No — the labs are completely optional. Pilates for Neurological Conditions gives you everything you need to understand the theory and begin applying the work.
However, if you’re someone who learns best by feeling the work in your own body, exploring the nuances, and practicing real‑time application, the labs are an incredible opportunity. We created them so you can deepen your mastery without having to travel to us for private sessions — while still keeping the experience intimate, personal, and connected to our Neuro Studio teaching community.
If you prefer to practice in your own space, you can absolutely skip the labs. Just be sure to take advantage of our 3 month FREE subscription to the Neuro Studio to join our Q&As, so you can get your questions answered and stay supported.
You’ll see detailed demonstrations of techniques Mariska and Meghann teaches in the lectures, with plenty of time to practice, observe, and ask questions.
YES! Whether you learn best by moving or observing, there will be plenty of opportunities to move and engage, whether you are there in-person or on Zoom.
Yes — there is always a recording.
Whether you join us in person or on Zoom, you’ll receive access to the full replay so you can revisit the work, catch details you may have missed, and experience the magic from a different perspective.
Yes! The course is approved for:
- 16 National Pilates Certification Program (NPCP) CECs
- 15 Pilates Association Australia (PAA) PDPs.
Each Neuro Lab is approved for 5 NPCP CEC’s or 5 PAA PDPs.

If you’re an instructor or movement professional you will be added to our worldwide Neuro Network for future client referrals.
