Cadillac (100hrs)
In this advanced Pilates Apparatus training you will learn the art and science behind muscle isolation and systematic movement. The Cadillac offers a new layer in the functional movement that rebuilds after injury, creates healthy movement patterns, and fine tunes the body. You will deepen your knowledge of session design and Pilates rehabilitation protocol.
Chair (65hrs)
The Pilates Wunda Chair is a compact and versatile apparatus. It challenges strength and balance while offering a different perspective to the whole body. Originally created as a “home workout” apparatus, the chair rounds out the isolation principle of the Cadillac with a smaller base of support and more open chain exercises. You will learn how to incorporate this piece into group and private sessions.
Barrels/Arcs (40hrs)
The Arc/Barrel is a supportive way to find a deeper abdominal connection. In the course you will learn how the angle of any Arc assists in alleviating strain in the neck and low back while challenging the whole body. The Pilates Barrels, Arc and Spine Corrector training is the final step in the advanced Pilates Apparatus training and to becoming a fully certified Pilates instructor.
