The Pilates Process Teacher training

The Mat and Reformer Training Courses are each held over 5 weekends consisting of 60 studio hours. The in-depth training focuses on safety, logic, and the key element of addressing not just "what" but "how" to teach.

A teaching assistant is added when there are more than 8 students per class (class size is limited to 12), to ensure full and detailed guidance to all students. As with all Pilates Process Courses, manual fees are included in the cost.

The teacher training courses are in depth, intensive - and fun! Be prepared to do homework and practice between sessions.

The Pilates Process Mat and Reformer Training is held at Riverdale Pilates in Toronto and at Pilates North in Richmond Hill.

Continuing education credits are required to maintain TPP Certification. Quarterly newsletters will be sent out offering a variety of workshops that have CEC value.

THERAPEUTIC PILATES COURSE   
Therapeutic Pilates is a 25 hour course designed to bridge the gap between Pilates and Physiotherapy. This course is based on the fundamental principles of core stability and on the premise that although Pilates is a good system for addressing global stability it does not specifically address local stabilizers. The Therapeutic Pilates Course teaches students how to progress clients safely, from local to global stability and why it is such a crucial progression.

This course is designed for instructors already experienced in private training who are searching for more effective methods of addressing injuries and chronic conditions within their clientele.
Due to the hands on approach there is a limit of 12 participants.

Cost $700.00
