Training to teach Pilates
Training is essential for a teacher to teach Pilates safely and with all guarantees. Knowledge on the subject is basic and not anybody is qualified to be a teacher, since it could be harmful.
- It is imperative that the teacher has received complete training before going into teaching.
- Currently, many innovative techniques have been added to the original Pilates method. Therefore, it is important that the teacher knows the old method perfectly, since it is from where the foundation of Pilates is.
- A teacher cannot see more than one student at the same time, the classes must be 1-to-1 because everyone has his or her own rhythm.
- There is no standard approval system of the Pilates method nor pre-established curriculum - consequently we have to be cautious when it comes to contracting services.
- It is advisable to request a certificate before starting to practice Pilates. Lack of knowledge by an unqualified person can cause serious injury.
- Teachers can try to relieve pain symptoms or various problems, but we must be aware that they are not doctors that can heal or cure disease.
