From learning anatomy by building the body with clay to Prenatal Pilates, here is a run down of our most favorite workshops, courses and apprenticeship programs nationwide! (of course, including our own in NYC!)
ANATOMY FUNDAMENTALS WITH ANATOMY IN CLAY
Where: Core Pilates NYC, New York, NY.
A Pilates instructor must know the body. And there is no better way to understand the body as it moves in Pilates than through the Anatomy in Clay program. With manikens, colored clay and a direct, interactive way of presenting how the bones, muscles and tendons work in Pilates, the Anatomy in Clay program is tops in our mind to deepen understanding. Seasoned Pilates instructors, new teachers, yoga teachers, and just a curious public all participate yearly.
PILATES AND PREGNANCY AT CORE PILATES NYC AND BEYOND
Probably the most popular continuing education for Pilates teachers is learning how to safely and effectively lead Pilates classes and private sessions for pre and postnatal clients. Pilates is so valuable for pregnancy — it assists labor (aka makes it shorter in most cases and the push is so very efficient!) and the healing after the fact comes much easier so it’s no wonder why women flock to teachers and Pilates studios where the prenatal programming is kick-butt. Our top 3 picks:
