TEACHER TRAINING details

THE LAB [500hr]

The Lab Pilates Teacher Training is a carefully designed program to bring you both Classical and Contemporary exercises on a mix of traditional Pilates equipment: Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Spine Corrector/Step Barrel, High/Ladder Barrel, and Magic Circle. Join me for a 500hr comprehensive, PMA-approved training program at Sapphire Pilates in Silver Lake.

The 120hr Mat program includes 2 weekends of in-person training, 25 hours of observation, 25 hours of self-practice, and 40 practice teaching hours. The 500hr Comprehensive program includes 6 weekends of in-person training, 75 hours of observation, 95 hours of self-practice, and 125 hours of practice teaching. Throughout the duration of the program of study and beyond, students will have access to ongoing job support and mentorship. I am committed to you and your Pilates journey.

The Lab Pilates Teacher Training program is composed of 4 main components:

1 - In Studio Lecture: Over the course of 6 weekends we will learn Anatomy, History of Pilates/Scope of Practice (as required by the PMA®), and a breakdown of every exercise according to choreography, muscle focus, and contraindications. We also spend time learning how to put together programming for private sessions, duets and group classes.

2 - Self-Practice Hours: a minimum number of hours practicing on your own either in studio, following your manuals, along with online or in other studios.

3 - Practice Teaching Hours: after the first weekend, I encourage you to begin teaching to people. Anyone you can get your hands on: friends, significant others, and family. The more body types you see moving the better off you will be.

4 - Observation Hours: watching experienced teachers teaching others is one of the best ways to absorb information (online or in person). See how they setup sessions, correct, & cue.

Upon completion of your hours, you will schedule a date to take your Practical exam. Upon passing both a written and practical exam you will be a Certified Pilates Teacher.
