Are you ready to get started?
I am so excited to help you on your journey to becoming a classical pilates teacher. The more I have learned over the past 20 years of teach Pilates, the more amazed I am by how brilliant Joseph Pilates was. In the beginning I loved mat, then the reformer, then the more I learned about all of the apparatus and the mat work, the more it made sense that it all works together as a system. Pilates is corrective exercise and truly can be for anyone. Understanding the classical work helps you to be able to teach anyone, from children to senior adults. It can be gentle and it can be acrobatic and still all be within the Classical system of Pilates. You will learn how to select the appropriate exercises for each client on the appropriate apparatus. Often it is the same for all and sometimes it is different. Not everyone will get to the level of Intermediate 2 or Advanced but some will and you will have the knowledge and skills to help challenge and strengthen each and every one of your students.
