We developed this program to provide trained Pilates instructors with a clearer understanding of how to better teach Pilates within a professional, supportive and focused environment.
Through a concise breakdown of selected exercises from all levels participants will develop strong teaching skills that are defined and progressive.
Emphasis will be placed on:

2) To deepen participants understanding of the muscles and joints involved in the biomechanics of selected exercises.
3) To consider best programming options based on clients’ goals, postures, range of motion and physical capability.
4) To assist participants in strengthening existing client teaching skills
5) To encourage thoughtful, customized programming that is geared towards the individual client and their particular needs
6) To engage in a dialogue of the interrelationship between client retention and ongoing professional as well as self-development
