New Mentorship program for Certified Pilates Instructors.

Many Pilates studios that certify instructors are talented in teaching the fundamentals of Pilates, but one area that is lacking in Pilates certification is the life skill in teach instructors how to "teach." A newly certified Pilates Instructor might understand how to perform "The Hundreds" beautifully, but can they verbalize the instruction to someone else, so that they understand it and can perform the same move just as beautifully?

Having the opportunity to work with a Focus Pilates Trainer, will help you to design a program with ease and accurately teach to many different levels of people so you can be comfortable in any environment. The mentorship program is 4 weeks, and a practical & theory test will follow. Once the mentorship program is completed, the instructor will be credited with a Canadian Pilates Association Membership.
