Absolution Teacher Training: Introduction

Our comprehensive program has been carefully designed so you can become an intuitive, communicative, confident teacher with a strong technical eye. Through our training program, you will learn all the exercises included in the five classic levels of Pilates, on all the equipment developed by Joseph Pilates. You will study the basic principles of Pilates, and how these principles relate to movement and injury, so that your understanding of the exercises and how they work together is thorough and complete. You will also learn appropriate safety and maintenance on all the equipment.

Your training will focus on the broad picture of the Pilates exercise system and how it can most effectively help your clients, as well as the detail and technique of each exercise and why it is important. As a Pilates instructor, you will be exposed to a vast array of client scenarios: working with clients with different body types, clients who are injured, pregnant, and those who have special needs. You will learn how to progress a client through the system with respect to all of these situations. Ultimately, as a Pilates Teacher, you will be able to apply what you have learned regardless of how you choose to continue your practice.

Our staff of instructors will be your support team, to answer your questions and to encourage you to be the best teacher you can be. We believe in learning through participation. In keeping with this philosophy, you will be able to start apprentice teaching professionally after completing Level II. As long as you have the willingness, desire and dedication to learn, you have the potential to become an extraordinary instructor.
