More about step 3

From the repertoire to excellent teaching

In step 1 you learn the whole repertoire: every exercise on every apparatus, as one system. Step 2 teaches you how to become an excellent teacher: to read the person in front of you, cue and correct by hand, build a session that suits them, and teach clients with back pain, scoliosis, a pregnancy or an old injury safely.

What you learn

Reading the body

You learn to observe a client before you choose an exercise: posture, breath, how the body moves and where it compensates.

Cueing and hands-on correction

Clear cues, correction by hand, and the structure of a session that suits the person you teach.

Rehab-Informed Teaching

Clients with scoliosis, back pain, before and after birth, after an injury: which exercises suit them, what to change and why. Always within a Pilates teacher’s scope, not as diagnosis or treatment.

Teaching practice

You practise teaching during the course (cueing, correcting, structuring a session), and your educator corrects you until it is right. Step 3 then shows that you can teach a real client on your own.

Teachers who came for step 2

“I know when I go back home, my teaching will be completely different than what I was teaching before.”

Graduate from Nepal, step 2 in Bangkok

“All the teachers that have been teaching Pilates, it's really beneficial for them to have a fresh, open eyes to come and learn from Patricia.”

Graduate from Indonesia, step 2 in Bangkok

“I recommend this course for people that really want that deeper knowledge of how to read bodies, how to connect their bodies and their clients' bodies to postures, and to have that deeper understanding of why we do certain postures.”

Graduate from the United Arab Emirates, step 2 in Bangkok

Step 2, answered

Graduates of step 1, The Pilates System Training, and teachers certified at other schools who have taken the Entry Assessment.

With a practical assessment at the end of the course: pass it and you receive the Integration Instructor Certificate. Trained at another school: if you are already trained on all apparatus, you receive the certificate when you pass it. If your training covered Matwork and Reformer only, you first receive a Letter of Completion; it is exchanged for the certificate once you have completed Chair, Barrels and Cadillac with us. You do not repeat step 2.

Yes. You choose the place for step 2 when you book it, subject to available places (France max. 8). The tuition is the same; in France you add accommodation and all meals.

No. It prepares you to teach clients with these conditions safely within a Pilates teacher’s scope. It does not train you to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
