We are proud to announce that we will be conducting our own in-house Pilates Certification Course in the fall of 2024. Are you looking to further your knowledge in physical anatomy and the Pilates method of exercise? This course is for anyone interested in furthering their own personal knowledge, practice and those looking to teach.

The Certification will be broken into FOUR weekend modules covering the following information:

Module 1: Human Movement Anatomy and Mat Pilates

 Learn about how the human body moves and how to apply corrective exercises to address postural deviations. We will also learn the original exercises as Joseph first intended them...on the Mat. We will learn and apply the 8 principles of Pilates which will be the foundation for each module. 

Module 2: Reformer 1

*prerequisite is completion of Module 1

Applying our knowledge of the Mat exercises we will now transpose them to the reformer. We will learn not only how to execute and cue the reformer poses but how to both regress and progress to challenge and support participants.

Module 3: Reformer 2

*prerequisite is completion of Module 1& 2

Start to apply our human movement knowledge to address the more challenging Pilates exercises on the reformer. Cueing, coaching and adjusting will be a prime focus in this module.

 

Module 4: The Pilates Chair and Tower  

*prerequisite is completion of Module 1, 2, & 3

Discover the creativity and challenge that additional Pilates apparatus such as the chair and tower can add to traditional Pilates exercises.

Each module will include hands on learning, personal instruction and an in-depth manual. After completing the modules, participants will have earned 111 hours of human movement and Pilates training.

Each module will be presented by Espi MacMillan; Certified Pilates instructor and NASM personal trainer with over 25 years of teaching experience.

Cost per module is $550 or pay in full for all FOUR modules and receive a 10% discount.
