Immerse Yourself In Pilates
There’s no way to get properly trained and certified as a Pilates Instructor in a single weekend. If you’re already a fitness professional, and just want to add a couple basic Pilates exercises to a routine, then perhaps a weekend course will do. However, if you’re driven to help people understand the benefits of Pilates and how it improves everyday life for everyone, from high level athletes to the elderly, and if you want to help people rehabilitate from injury or be able to teach clients about the biomechanics of movement and the benefits of Pilates — then you need to invest in comprehensive training.
CHOOSE FULL CERTIFICATION—OR TAKE INDIVIDUAL COURSES
