Learn to Teach Pilates, Become Certified

Holistic Pilates Ltd is offering an intensive teacher/instructor training course. Sign up with us and concentrate for one solid week on becoming a Pilates teacher.

Why is this a good thing? After talking with potential Pilates teachers we found that many had the same concern. If they chose a course that was only a few hours a week, it could take months to complete and disrupt their lives for that entire time.

With our course you need only take one week off work; seven days where you eat, sleep, breathe Pilates! This will include being trained in Holistic Pilates and how to teach it to others. This course (Holistic Pilates for Teachers 1) covers the fundamentals of mat work, which forms the core of all successful Pilates teachers' lessons. The syllabus strongly favours practical sessions where, after being shown how, you then teach Pilates to individuals and small groups under our supervision (during the 7 day course). You will also be encouraged to work with each other before and after classes each day to get extra practice. The course will also include learning how to run your own Pilates business.

The contents of our course are based on the actual practical needs of Pilates instructors and students. (Although anatomy is covered it is only to the basic level required to teach Pilates.) We concentrate on teaching you what you will need to know to be successful. We can help you avoid the "teething problems" and give you insights into how you too can be a successful teacher. This is your chance to learn the “secrets” of Pilates teachers! In addition to traditional Pilates we also cover a number of lifestyle issues which in reality are often an integral part of one-to-one tuition. This includes areas such as stress management, positive thinking, colour theory, and more.

With the continuous assessment system to evaluate your ability as a Pilates instructor, you are evaluated on a daily basis. We believe that this is far better than a one off exam. Because of this there is NO exam!

The great advantage of this course is that you only have to take one week off work to attend and at the end of the course you walk away a qualified instructor (subject to ability, of course!)

Our goal, and yours, is for you to walk away from our course just a phone call away from your first paying client! So we don't just give you a certificate and then ignore you. As part of your course you get a "Goodie Bag". This will include a foldable Pilates mat, sticky mat, exercise band, a three inch and one inch cushion and that's not all.

We also have a comprehensive post-course programme to help you with business development. This includes a personalised web site that we set up for all successful students and you will also be listed in our online searchable index of Holistic Pilates teachers.

To further your ability as an instructor we have plans for additional courses and workshops. (see below).

Finally, we like to keep things relaxed and informal, so although this course will be hard work it will also be informative and fun!
