Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training
This 485-hour program includes learning the classical and contemporary repertoire on all Pilates apparatus: Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and Barrels.
Through the lens of anatomy and an understanding of the various forces acting both within and on the body, students learn not only the repertoire, but also gain the knowledge of how to adjust that choreography to truly tailor workouts to meet the individual needs and goals of their clients.
For every exercise, we discuss the joint range of motion and muscular participation involved based on body position, plane of motion, and the type and direction of resistance. Students will learn how to modify the repertoire for everybody (and "every body"), from beginner to advanced clients. The basic Pilates principles of control, awareness, and breathing will also be demonstrated in every exercise so that our students (and their future clients) can deepen the mind-body connection.
