In 2022, I signed up for the Pilates Instructor Training with Rubecca. I selected Pilates Native instead of other training programs because of Rubecca’s extensive knowledge, commitment to the principles of Pilates, instruction that goes beyond “cookie cutter” and memorization, and “hands-on” teaching experience that would prepare me to work with a variety of clients, especially the actively aging. I successfully completed her program with a sense of empowerment and confidence knowing that I have the ability to positively help, influence, and/or inspire others in their fitness and health goals. Learning with Rubecca, and coaching actual clients in injury prevention or recovery, has accelerated me forward by at least two years in my career as a Pilates Instructor. I cannot put a price tag on the level of education and confidence that I have received under the guidance and leadership of Rubecca.
Training will cover:
Over the course of 24 weeks, the program will cover all of the listed topics. The program is designed to build upon itself, with all of the foundational skills covered in the Mat program . We realize this is an unconventional method for Pilates teacher training. However, we have found that by really spending time with the anatomy, lecture materials, special populations and all of the foundational topics, our students have been much better prepared to teach the exercises and are better able to learn the exercises and how to apply them.
The best part of our training program is that include real-life hands on experience with clients as part of the training program. You will learn on real bodies as they apply to the various modules.
