PILATES STATEN ISLAND offers a 625 hour comprehensive teacher training (includes a 150 hour apprenticeship) following the guidelines set forth by the Pilate Method Alliance (PMA). The Program teaches the Integrated Contemporary Pilates Method (ICPM) and prepares participants for the PMA National Examination. Additionally, it takes the student on a comprehensive Pilates journey including philosophical, theoretical, practical, and scientific applications of the method. The program explores and integrates aspects of both classical and contemporary methodology and has a strong focus on functional rehabilitation principles without losing the vision of J.H. Pilates. The coursework revolves around theory, physical review, exercise dissection (anatomical reference and biomechanical principles), postural analysis, practice teaching (with cueing), observation, and client programming and reassessment.
Emphasis will not be lost on Pilates’ vision of fluid and dynamic movement or its stabilizing principles. Upon completion of the program the graduate will have an exceptional foundation for both teaching a practice. Program participants cannot test out until completion of the entire program.

Continuing Education offerings will be updated on this site as they become available.
