Advanced ComprehensiveTeacher-Training Program

You want to help people move well and begin a career with Pilates. Our 12 month Advanced Comprehensive Teacher-Training Program is for you.

What’s Included In the Program

Set the Foundation.

You will learn all about the History of Joseph Pilates and how the exercises were ordered in a logical sequence. We’ll break down the fundamentals and make sure you’re set up for success.

Learn about the Body.

Anatomical knowledge is necessary for any Pilates Teacher. By knowing the names of muscles and what they do, you can better understand how movement works and can better assist your client. It also gives you a language for you to understand contraindications and health concerns your clients may have so you can safely modify and adapt to their needs.

Embody & Understand the Technique.

The exercises are very layered. By learning, practicing, observing and teaching, you will feel the movement and begin to understand how exercises build on one another. You’ll be able to take them apart and add complexity depending on your client’s needs.

All Apparatus and Mat from Beginner to Advanced levels.

Pilates is a system. You will learn and discover how the Mat, Reformer, Wunda Chair, Cadillac, Spine Corrector, Ladder Barrel, Ped-o-pul, and small apparatus (such as foot corrector, toe corrector, neck stretcher, magic circle, hand weights, etc) work together. You’ll learn how to break down the skills to their most fundamental component and add complexity as needed.

Knowing the History, Anatomy, and Exercises are a great start to any teaching program, but there are more skills you will need in order to succeed.

  • Teaching Skills

    Learning how to communicate to your client is essential. Not only will we look at different learning and teaching styles, but you’ll also learn how to use your hands, voice, imagery, themes, flow and more to adapt to your client’s needs and goals.

    How are you going to market yourself once your training is done? Learn how to attract the ideal client, set up your own studio, teaching online and also set-up some important items such as insurance, business licenses, and more. Let us help you build a career you can get excited about.

  • Life Skills of the Pilates Teacher

    Confidence is achieved through practice, repetition, and positive feedback. Our faculty will nurture and support your development in finding your OWN teaching voice. You will also learn how to manage work/family/personal life and keep your teaching fresh and enjoyable.
