Prepare yourself to teach a broad range of exercises, variations and modifications performed on the Reformer. Furthermore, learn how to combine Mat and Reformer based workouts for increased variety and intensity.
STOTT PILATES® is a contemporary, anatomically-based approach to the original exercise method developed by Joseph Pilates. Developed by former professional dancer Moira Merrithew and a team of sports medicine professionals, this method incorporates modern exercise science and rehabilitation principles. The result is a method that is safe and a highly effective low-impact way to stretch, strengthen and streamline the body.
This course is ideal for experienced studio and fitness instructors, personal trainers, sports therapists, physiotherapists and those with a background in dance looking to improve their range of skills and enhance their employability. In a word, for people looking to obtain the finest Pilates education in the industry. However, any Pilates enthusiast looking to enhance or change careers can book this course if they fulfil the anatomy requirements, such as the anatomy course online.
