Teacher Program
The Program™ Pilates Teacher Training requires approximately 13 -15 months to complete the curriculum and teaching practicum. Students are then endorsed as Certified Teachers of Joseph Pilates’ work.
The Program™ Pilates Teacher Training teaches the foundation and progressions of Contrology through weekend intensives, private lessons, self-practice hours, and monthly apprentice meetings.
The Program™ Pilates Teacher Training develops a strong understanding of Joseph Pilates’ Contrology in the apprentice. The apprentice feels well-equipped for the practicum portion when learning HOW to teach others.
The Program™ Pilates Teacher Training curriculum includes Joseph Pilates's corrective exercises, concepts for achieving the depth of the work in the body, and themed mini workshops over four intensive module weekends.
