Introduction
This course offers a dynamic, integrative approach to the art of teaching and practicing Pilates.
You will learn the original classical moves as well as their adaptations and modifications over time. This teacher training is suitable for anyone interested in delving deeper into their Pilates practice or for those who seek to become certified Pilates instructors.
Drawing together different styles and approaches to Pilates, this multi-faceted training gives trainees the opportunity to learn from the best of all methods.
Most importantly we prioritise putting the Client or participant at the centre of your approach rather than your Method or Style. Your style or approach needs to change based on the participants’ needs and in our Diploma certification we teach you to do that.
