Pilates Training Speciality Certificates/Mat Workshops
What is Pilates?
Pilates is an exercise method designed to condition and connect body and mind, correct muscle imbalances, improve posture and tone the body. Created by German Joseph H. Pilates more than 70 years ago, Pilates is a combination of eastern and western exercise philosophies. The exercises mix fluid yet rhythmic yoga-like movements with strengthening techniques to develop lean, long, flexible muscles.
The primary focus of Pilates is to strengthen the body's core, the area between your hips and abdomen, often referred to as your "powerhouse." Why? Because, your body's center is the source of your power balance and movement.
Pilates' exercises, often referred to as the "method," are organized and practiced sequentially. Movements are practiced with control and precision, with emphasis on achieving correct form, rather than performing endless repetitions.
There are many applications and approaches to the traditional method. Applications include Matwork (specifically limited to a mat) or using a specially designed machine called a reformer or small equipment and apparatus.
The approaches vary from traditional to the more contemporary. The contemporary approach uses many modifications, choreography or arrangement of movements, assumptions about the way the body moves, instructional style and what correct alignment looks like.
Our training programs are not intended to take the place of the extensive training required to teach Pilates on its pure form, but were developed and are presented to "bridge the gap" between Fitness and Pilates, allowing the fitness professional or enthusiast to design a Pilates based program by incorporating the concepts and methods into his or her fitness classes and workouts. We hope our programs inspire you to further your education in this wonderful discipline.
