What makes a quality Pilates instructor?

Posted on January 25, 2012

 

Sometimes the word Pilates is tacked onto other fitness programs in ways that can be very misleading. In truth, Joseph Pilates was very specific about his methods. It’s a complete and comprehensive body mind system that we at The Lift take very seriously – so seriously that each of our instructors undergo over 600 hours of training by schools and programs approved by Pilates Method Alliance.

So what makes PMA approved teachers so special? We chatted with PMA Board Member Shawn Healey, owner of Carpe Diem Pilates in Eugene, Oregon, about what sets them apart. When it comes right down to it, it’s all about intention, experience and education.
