Overview of course: You have your certification and you have been teaching for 2 years or more; but you know there is more to learn.
This is the 5-month guided course that will take you to the next level in your teaching and your personal practice. Even if you are already a good teacher, this course will help you become an even greater one. Upon completion of this intensive program, you will earn an enhanced status over any entry-level Pilates certification program. The Vitality Method Advanced program does more than provide you with a college-level education in the broad arsenal of tools and apparatus that Joe Pilates invented. The courses will provide you with the knowledge to build as deep a level of mastery as you choose to practice.
Unlike other programs, which teach a buffet of unrelated, unintegrated variations of exercises, Vitality Method teaches the original work of Joe Pilates. It is a skill-based systematic approach to the exercises which provide anyone a lifetime of bodywork and goals.
Each workshop weekend will test your individual physical abilities and teaching proficiency. Every workshop is 10 hours; 5 hours on Saturday, 5 hours on Sunday. You will be provided a list of exercises and syllabus that will be covered in each workshop for you to practice in advance. Recordings of the workshops will be made available.
Master-level guest teachers will lead various workouts during the weekends. These teachers will be following the same teaching protocols you are learning during the weekend.
Each Participant will have 1 private session, 2 group sessions, and 3 observation sessions a month with Joel Crosby included with the course.
Although classical equipment is not required to participate, you will learn how the classical equipment was designed to help teach the body.
After the course is completed, a test will be scheduled with Joel Crosby. The test will consist of a teaching test and an exercise performance test. When tests are passed, a certificate of achievement will be awarded.
Building The Strong and Supple Contrology Body
Advanced Teaching Themes:
The Foundation of MatThe mat work is the heart and soul of Contrology. You will learn how to get the most out of each exercise for your personal practice. Taking what you learn from your mat experience, Joel will teach you the most progressive way to effectively teach clients. By applying what you learn you will see quicker progress in your clients. You will be able to empower clients and create a strong foundation to build on. Rings, bars, and hand weights will be utilized as tools to deepen the work. You will be taught assisted pushes and pulls for the mat.
The Foundation of ApparatusIn this workshop you will learn the best way to introduce a complete studio to new clients. Understand how the introductory exercises can be planned for the greatest progress. Challenge your strong athletic clients and support your elderly or unconditioned clients. Learn how to assess when clients are ready for more challenges. Begin to teach your clients how to feel correct movement skills; rather than you having to tell them every session.
The Main Living Space After a solid foundation is built, this is where most of your clients will live. You will learn how to give your clients a lifetime of work to practice that will strengthen the brain and the body. Progression and regressions of exercises will be taught to fit a wide variety of people. How to logically add exercises to the exercise routine to progress clients based on their individual ability will be learned.
The Upper LevelSome clients may progress to the higher level of precision and challenge. You will learn proper execution of “Upper Level” exercises. Setting goals and establishing clear expectations for each exercise will be taught.
The Attic Learn advanced exercises that are not taught often. These are exercises that are appropriate for teachers or longtime strong clients. You will learn how these exercises are the foundation exercises performed at a very high level.
