INSTRUCTOR EDUCATION ASPIRE TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM. INSPIRE OTHERS TO TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES. We want to awaken a passion. We strive to make teacher training with Peak Pilates® a source of fulfillment and achievement because to us, it’s about much more than getting a certificate. It’s about shaping people whose strength, balance and well-being start at the core—and show up in every aspect of their lives and the great things they’re able to accomplish. With Peak Pilates education, we strive to help students achieve the highest standards and become thoughtful, confident and responsible leaders in the Pilates community. We encourage students to develop their own style that blends their natural talents, unique skills and individual creativity with intimate knowledge of the standards, precision and technique that make Pilates so effective. We teach how to teach, not just what to teach. Our philosophy is grounded in the classical Pilates method and a systematic training approach that’s proven to create excellent instructors. Classical Pilates is rhythmic, fluid and focused—connecting one movement to the next to build greater strength, flexibility and endurance. We refine it with sequencing that builds a Pilates body with maximum efficiency. We designed our unique Peak Pilates coaching models to heighten each trainee’s confidence and capability as an instructor. All certification programs are offered through a modular educational pathway, allowing instructors to progress at their own pace. Lectures and presentations are combined with practical applications to prepare instructors to teach both private sessions and small group classes with confidence, clarity and success. Our comprehensive support materials include manuals and DVDs, providing a wealth of information, exercise templates, cueing instructions and more. 13
