Overview

Pilates Technique Teacher Certification

Thank you for your interest in the Pilates Technique Certification Course. We are excited that you have chosen to become a Pilates instructor, and we look forward to teaching you what Pilates can do for you and your clients.

Format

Training is taught one on one. You schedule private sessions directly with Jill and pay per session.

  • Sessions: in studio or live on Zoom

  • Pace: flexible scheduling to fit work and life

  • Assessment and feedback at every step

  • Testing: Levels 1-5 have practical exams before moving to next level.
    The Final exam is written.

Program goal

To develop intuitive, confident, thinking instructors. You will study the Pilates system as a whole, then the detailed technique and purpose of each exercise. You will learn how to progress each client through the system based on that individual body.

Joseph H. Pilates intended his method to be taught in five progressive levels. The Pilates Technique program follows that design.

Curriculum structure

Five levels taught through a series of private modules. Across the program you will cover:

  • Basic Principles of Pilates

  • The history of Joseph Pilates

  • Creating an effective session for your client

  • Safe and appropriate spotting techniques

  • Developing an eye for teaching

  • Voice cues and commands

  • Working with injuries

  • Pregnancy and special needs

  • Safety and maintenance for all equipment

Every exercise on all Pilates apparatus is taught and practiced.
