Keep the Integrity of the Method Alive
During the unique programs, participants learn the exercises and principles created by Joseph Pilates through a classical - systematic - integrative approach. Classical or "authentic" pertains to the specific exercises being taught and the vocabulary used to teach them. Systematic pertains to the progression of a session; starting in a horizontal position and progressing to a vertical one (sitting or standing). Integrative pertains to the inclusion of all the apparatus within a session.
Pilates was originally developed with the understanding that the center/core of the body is where the initiation of movement should come from. Flexibility, range of motion and a long lean body will result. In addition to learning the exercises, the true education in Pilates is about giving tools to the instructor that enable him/her to understand and communicate the principles that are being taught. In short, learning how to teach by using an easy-to-follow formula for success. Participants in our educational programming learn the specifics of a balanced workout, develop the eye and ability to recognize proper body mechanics and learn the methods necessary to work with special case clients (i.e. back, knee, shoulder problems).
Power Pilates believes that learning is an on going process and certification is the first step. Once certified, instructors are required to complete continuing education courses through Power Pilates. These courses allow instructors to review principles and exercises learned during certification, explore topics not covered during certification and, most importantly, keep the integrity of the method alive. There is always more to learn. Power Pilates has developed the most extensive continuing education curriculum in the marketplace.
Power Pilates offers the following certifications nationwide: Beginner and Intermediate Mat , Comprehensive, 12-Day Intensive, Power Pilates System Training: Levels 1, 2 & 3 and introducing our BRIDGE program for Pilates instructors who are certified through another organization, yet want to obtain a Power Pilates certification.
Evolutions also has the ability to customize a program to fit your specific needs and teach it on-site (host) at your facility.
