Teacher Training: Curriculum
RedDance Pilates offers a comprehensive classical Teacher Training Program through Pilates Core Integration. Margeaux Raymond is an associate teacher of PCI, which was designed by Virginia Nicholas, teaching the traditional Pilates Method used by Eve Gentry, student of Joseph Pilates, and Michele Larsson. PCI will give students the knowledge and experience to teach Pilates for fitness and body-mind integration.
The training program includes exercises on the mats and five main pieces of equipment. The exercises range from the fundamental to the advanced level.
PCI Comprehensive Teacher Training Program is comprised of five 3-day weekend workshops and two 2-day mat workshops or one 4-day mat workshop, an apprenticeship in an approved Pilates studio, and final tests. The weekend workshops include Pilates exercises, lecture, practice, reading assignments, homework, and anatomy. In the apprenticeship component, students participate in an approved studio for private practice, observation, and student teaching to satisfy a prescribed hours requirement. Finally in the examinations, the student demonstrates his/her knowledge and skill in the Pilates Method for final approval from a PCI Teacher Trainer.
Completion of the PCI Program takes approximately twelve months.
