Hot Pilates Philosophy

The “Hot Pilates” Philosophy of Teaching is simple. Take the Classic Pilates method, originally created by Joseph Hubertus Pilates, and combine it with energetic, fluid choreography, that includes progressive movements and High-Intensity Interval Training, that will engage and challenge all levels of practice. Change happens through movement (movement heals). Having your clients and or yourselves learn in a flowing style, with appropriate corrections at the appropriate time, will transform the physical body and simultaneously rid the body of compensatory weaknesses that contribute to chronic injuries. What are we made of and what holds us together? Why do so many people suffer from chronic conditions?

With this training, those questions will be answered and more and you will develop the tools to instruct clients (or yourselves) through a complete Hot Pilates workout! Yes, I said WORKOUT! Bodies will change from the core or “powerhouse” (i.e from the inside out). There will be noticeable improvements in posture, strength, stamina, flexibility, endurance and an overall feeling of wellness! Healthy postures can be achieved through learning, practicing and teaching with a thorough foundation. With this training, you will learn how to create a safe challenging Hot Pilates class that works and shows significant results for all demographics. Your experience in this Teacher Training Program will be rewarding and requires your full participation. Recognize that learning comes in stages. Your knowledge and experience in other forms of fitness will be different from that of Hot Pilates; Please be open to this new language. As you learn, you will need to be responsible for your own requirements and also continue to experience Hot Pilates physically in your own body.
