There are many different formats of Pilates Teacher Training. Some are modular, where you learn one piece of apparatus at a time. Other programs are comprehensive and include all apparatus and all levels of ability as well as injuries and special populations and how to deal with them as well as an understanding of anatomy, exercise physiology and movement science.
The 6 Pillars of our Pilates Teacher Training Program
The 6 pillars of our program incorporate our belief of the concepts necessary to develop a comprehensive understanding of Pilates and develop into a confident and competent Pilates professional. We have created an approach that helps you not only know the information but sparks your curiosity and connection to the work so you can engage on a deeper level. We create inspired teachers in search of the WHY and the HOW of Pilates. Using a reflective, dynamic, and interactive approach, we’ll help you to explore and examine the work actively weaving your past personal experiences and understanding with new concepts, ideas, and depth. Our learning community will help you be an active co-creator of your knowledge through interactive discussion groups where you can challenge assumptions and look at the theory from a completely different perspective.
