INCLUSIVITY = ACCESS
Pilates has a history of exclusivity, being available only to those who could afford it as well as being associated with dancer like physiques or athletes or celebrities. Real Pilates is about all types of humans. We believe that Pilates should be accessible to all. Pilates educators are responsible for the future of the method but also stewards of the people we serve.
The Real Pilates Teacher Training program is fluid and ever evolving. As resources increasingly become available we pledge to share them and more importantly, integrate them into our content and materials.
Across multiple topics, here are some important resources for both professional instructors and those teachers just entering the field.
