Is this course right for you?
Are you looking for evidence based pilates training? Then this is the program for you. Our course is driven by the most cutting edge research to ensure what you are teaching and how you are teaching will give you and your students the best results. Curated by an academic researcher, Annie Kirwan, you can ensure what you are taught on this course is evidence based and updated to the latest findings.
Do you want to go beyond the traditional 34 pilates exercises? Many traditional mat pilates courses teach only the 34 original mat pilates exercises. This does not include any standing or weight bearing exercises which are essential for bone health, muscle strength and body resilience. We teach whole body movement which considers strength, range of motion, neuromuscular control and psychosomatic control. In addition you will learn how to assess a body, evaluate movement, how to optimally load a person and the tools to help them reach their goals.
