Teacher Training with Pilates Process
Our Approach
We are detail oriented and limit class sizes to 8 students so that everyone gets the assistance they need.
Small Class Sizes
We really want you to understand the material, not just memorize it and we have developed creative, diverse methods of teaching to ensure just that.
Commitment To Students
We have extremely high standards for teacher trainers. All of our teachers have extensive experience and are passionate about Pilates, teaching, and their students.
Exceptional Teachers
Understandably, not every fitness teacher wants to teach therapeutically. It is a reality however, that every teacher will come across clients with pain and injury whether they plan to or not. Our training is infused with our therapeutic knowledge so that you will feel prepared and confident when those situations arise.

Prerequisites: Pilates Process Foundational Mat and/or Reformer 1/2 Courses
Chair Level 1/2
The Cadillac was the first equipment Joseph Pilates created. Wonderfully versatile, the vast repertoire is as effective for new and therapeutic clients as it is for challenging the experienced advanced athlete. The Cadillac “advantage” is the non moving bed and higher platform – appropriate for many clients with hip replacements, vertigo and mobility issues, as well as an abundance of exercises in standing adding dynamic functional strength elements.
