The People’s Pilates

Our teachers are trained in a program which is 12 to 15 months long and involves 521 hours of personal practice, observation and teaching. Instructors are trained in ALL pieces of equipment and are encouraged to sit the NPCP exam once they are certified. A complete training should also cover anatomy, history or pilates and teaching special populations.

A complete pilates training that prepares you to teach a safe, progressive, impactful session cannot be taught in a weekend.

We are hoping for more regulation around Pilates. Meanwhile, please don’t be hesitant to ask your instructor about their training.

Calls for Reformer Pilates regulation amid boom Reformer Pilates businesses in the UK rose nearly ten-fold between 2024 and 2025.

There are energy storage devices located throughout the body, especially in areas such as the hip, the knee and the foot. As one of the main roles of the lower limb is to improve the efficiency of gait and to give us a longer stride as we walk forward, one of the ways we become more efficient in the next step is by storing elastic energy while moving through the gait cycle on one leg. One way we do this is by storing energy in the iliotibial band, which has strong connections to the hip. Our ability to move the hip through flexion and extension is therefore incredibly important for storing energy in the thigh. Our capacity to move the knee through flexion and extension is another way in which we store energy in this area. The iliotibial band extends beyond the hip and knee and continues down into the foot through its connection with the tibialis anterior, which itself has multiple bony connections in the foot. The tibialis anterior also functions as an energy storage structure during walking and helps propel the foot forward with less muscular effort. One of the benefits of Pilates is that by focusing on full movement at the hip, knee and ankle, we can improve a person’s ability to experience more effortless movement in daily activities such as walking. Focus on the hip and you improve the foot. Focus on the foot and you improve the hip. Movement is medicine Tom
