I am pretty sure I have mentioned the life change I am on course to make in October........so here is the latest addition to further my plans and goals.
This weekend I finished Pilates teacher training at KW Pilates (www.kwpilates.com). It was taught by Stephen Filipowicz through The Physical Mind Institute.
I found the course very in depth with a lot of time spent on the mechanics and muscles of the body and how they work for each of us. Although I have taken Pilates as a student many times I found that I was only familiar with about 1/3 or 1/2 of the actual Pilates exercises. I had never learned there names and thankfully didn't realize how many of them we all do in only modified forms. The class was very structured and quite a change from classes I have taken for other modalities. We were lead through some typical classes as well as classes styled by Stephen. This is my favorite part of the program where you experience other peoples style. No two teachers are the same even if they teach exactly the same thing. Workshops and conferences are also great ways to grow your practice and teaching through others experience and style.
Is anyone in the area looking for someone to apprentice or intern for part of the summer to get a little experience, and find some comfort in my own teaching style before heading off to Nicaragua later this year. Any ideas, suggestions or opportunities are welcome!
