This is a comprehensive continuing education program for teachers of any style of Pilates. It is what you’ve been waiting for! And it’s On Demand!⁠
⁠
The Pilates Teacher Intensives (PTI) is a continuing education program for Pilates teachers of all styles. It is not about exercises, but about everything else!⁠
⁠
- Biomechanics with applications to Pilates⁠
- Studying your particular method/style of Pilates and recognizing what each level needs based on what we discovered in biomechanics.⁠
- Incredible teaching tools⁠
- Deep understanding of the apparatus and how to make the most of it⁠
- Injuries, ailments, imbalances and weird aches and pains and how to adapt to these in our work and so so so much more.⁠
- This is not about the individual exercises, though we do a lot of physical work.⁠
- This is not a Bridge program. This program, The Intensives, is designed for any style of Pilates. It’s all of the information and work that one needs that isn’t covered in teacher training programs, but is essential.⁠
⁠
While this is a comprehensive program ultimately designed to do all of the seminars with their associated projects, you can do each seminar separately. I want you to get what you need!⁠

Pre-Recorded/On-Demand Workshop ~ Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction:

Pilates teachers ask me more about the Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) and its dysfunction than any other joint in the body. Whereas most of our clients struggle with their lumbar spine, a hip, a knee, it’s Pilates teachers who struggle most with their SI joints. Whether you or your client has SI joint dysfunction, it can be quite frustrating to manage. That is, until you learn what goes on at this joint, what can alter its balance and how to return it to balance...not just for the moment, but for the long-term. That is what we will discover in this workshop. Whether you teach on the mat, some or all apparatus, this workshop is for you!
