Pilates Anatomy Course: The 34 Exercise Doodle Notebook

Hi there! I’m George Watts…your friendly neighbourhood Pilates teacher, doodle enthusiast, and the slightly anatomy-obsessed person behind the Online Pilates Lesson Planner.

And when I’m not creating Pilates class plans, Pilates Card Decks, or wondering whether the hip flexors deserve their own fan club, I’m usually drawing little anatomy doodles to make Pilates easier to understand.

Now let me introduce you to the Pilates Anatomy Course: The 34 Exercise Doodle Notebook.

It’s a printable, interactive PDF that explores the 34 classical mat exercises through hand-drawn anatomy notes, teaching tips, and friendly explanations that won’t make your brain quietly leave the room.

Inside, you’ll find 34 colour-coded Pilates anatomy doodles, one for each classical mat exercise, plus key anatomy focus points, beginner-friendly “what’s happening in the body” notes, teaching links, and a handy glossary for when words like rectus abdominis and erector spinae start exercising your brain. 

Whether you’re a Pilates teacher, trainee teacher, enthusiastic student, or someone who just wants to finally understand what’s supposed to be working during The Hundred, this course notebook is designed to make anatomy feel clearer, friendlier, and a lot more memorable.

Think of it as a Pilates anatomy course in doodle form.

It’s printable, clickable, teacher-friendly, and far less scary than a giant textbook wearing a lab coat.

Good news! If you enjoy this doodle notebook, you’ll probably also like the Pilates Card Decks and the Online Pilates Lesson Planner, where all these anatomy ideas can be turned into actual classes.

Each exercise page is designed to make Pilates anatomy easier to see, remember, and actually use when teaching or practising.

Feature 1.
Hand-Drawn Anatomy Doodle
Each classical mat exercise has its own colour-coded anatomy doodle, showing the key muscles and movement ideas without turning your brain into a bowl of overcooked spaghetti.

Feature 2.
Key Anatomy Focus
A quick, easy-to-scan summary of the main anatomy themes for each exercise, so you can instantly see what the exercise is asking from the body.

Feature 3.
What’s Happening In The Body
Friendly, beginner-friendly anatomy notes that explain the movement in plain English. No textbook fog. No Latin thunderstorm. No pretending you’re in a medical lecture.

Feature 4.
Teaching Notes
Useful teaching reminders to help you cue the exercise with more confidence, clarity, and “yes, I definitely know what I’m talking about” energy.

Feature 5.
Clickable Teaching Links
The PDF includes handy links to extra teaching notes and exercise resources, so you can jump straight to more detail when you want it.

Feature 6.
Anatomy Glossary
A helpful A–Z glossary explains key anatomy terms used throughout the notebook, perfect for quick revision or when a muscle name sounds like a spell from Hogwarts.

This is the heart of the notebook: simple, colourful anatomy doodles that show what’s happening in the body without turning the page into a medical textbook having a nervous breakdown.

You can quickly see the main players: the spine curling, the abdominals doing the heavy lifting, the hip flexors helping the legs stay organised, and the hamstrings quietly reminding everyone that flexibility is a journey.

Each doodle is designed to be easy to scan, easy to remember, and easy to use when you’re teaching, practising, or trying to explain Pilates anatomy without waving your arms around and saying, “You know… the bit that does the thing.”
