Peak Pilates® Master Instructors represent a variety of disciplines and training backgrounds and their INSTRUCTOR EDUCATION GLOBAL NETWORK success as educators comes from their ability to teach students through the wisdom and skill they have amassed through their years of experience and study. Spanning the globe, speaking over 13 languages and representing 16 countries, the depth and technical expertise of the team who create and deliver the programs is impressive. We’re always grateful and amazed at the “common language” Pilates allows us to share with so many worldwide. THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PROGRAMS It’s important to note that the heart and soul of the education programs belong to our team of Master Instructors, who together bring over 70 years of combined experience in the Pilates and fitness industries. Challenged to create a new paradigm for classical Pilates education that would demystify the often-misunderstood system and deliver it in an accessible format, the dynamic team got to work. Their diverse skills and backgrounds enabled them to mesh their talents with the end goal of helping students advance to their full potential. Proprietary teaching methodologies were developed that allow participants to identify and address any weak areas of their teaching. Professional development was a primary focus with an emphasis on teaching new instructors how to teach, and not just what to teach. Additionally, it was important to add the latest in science and anatomy to create a deeper understanding of the integrated and systematic approach. Today, from lesson plans to instructor manuals, the Team continues to refine the programs based on student feedback and practical application, while looking toward the future to meet the needs of our ever-changing industry. 15
