What and where do we teach?
We teach Matwork Pilates from the classical repertoire, which means that it is based on the original exercises of Joseph Pilates. The training is delivered at the Pilates Place studio in Stratford.
How do we teach Pilates?
First and foremost, we will teach you to become a teacher. You will learn the original 34 Pilates exercises and modifications, and how to cue, correct, and modify them. The theory part of the course includes modules on Anatomy and Physiology and learning how to construct and plan a Pilates class.
