The Pilates School is design for dedicated students and future teachers. Kicks off January 6th
By exploring the classical and contemporary Pilates method, students will leave this program with a thorough understanding about how the Pilates Method relates to their unique body. The curriculum lays an actionable foundation for students who want a sustainable and adaptable life long practice.
The goal of this 8-week curriculum is to dive deep into the hows and whys of the Pilates Method exercises and how the human body can perform those exercises effectively and safely. The mat and reformer repertoire is prioritized and supported with musculoskeletal anatomy education. Additional props, studio equipment, and contemporary supporting methods (ie. release work, motor control, etc) will be taught to create effective self-practice sequences for all students and future teachers.
Students will receive a detailed print manual, access to pre-recorded videos for self-study and the following texts: Anatomy of Movement by Blandine Calais-Germain and Return to Life Through Contrology by Joseph Pilates.

*If a teacher already has an education in Pilates repertoire this program is of great benefit as it dives deeply into teaching theory, planning, biomechanics and physiology, assessment and cueing. This program will help all teachers refine their "spidey senses". If you are already certified and desire to take this trimester independently of the first two please contact Krista directly.
