The aim of these standards is to give Pilates teachers in training a range of effective teaching techniques that come out of their own embodied understanding of the Method. Once qualified a Pilates teacher will normally be working without direct supervision, so an additional aim of these standards is to ensure that a Pilates teacher is also inspired to continue their own learning and development as a teacher and practitioner of the Method as a lifelong commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal is to train teachers in how to impart their knowledge, skill and confidence in the Method so that clients will be motivated to include movement and exercise into their daily life as a regular lifetime routine. <\/span>These standards have been designed for training providers to map to when submitting their Pilates Matwork and Apparatus training syllabus.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
