Pilates

The Pilates career involves not only practical teaching, but also theoretical teaching, where techniques are provided to gain benefits from bodywork and its relaxation.

The Pilates method is learned through classes that cover the conceptual guidelines and the practice that is taught throughout the instruction. Both issues are basic and important, since you will carry out a career aimed at contributing to the health of the students who come to learn about it. Pilates provides training that promotes special work, so that people can look good and feel the same way, improving body posture as well as making a great contribution to performing the appropriate muscular exercise for each person, as well as to breathing correctly in each movement developed in the class. The practice of Pilates is carried out with a particular method that uses special beds, so the teaching also covers the use of each function of that exercise equipment.

Regarding the duration of Pilates training, there are various schools that offer different study methods, whether in-person or remote. The course can last from two to twenty months, and throughout that time different techniques are learned about the weight that can be lifted for the exercises, according to each student; how air should be inhaled and exhaled; what the center of pressure is in each movement to be performed; modifications of muscular movements are also taught for people who arrive with common injuries and who cannot perform certain exercises. During the course all the exercises are provided, from the most basic to the most complex that can be offered in classes, so that later the Pilates teachers, once trained, can choose the type of class they wish to offer and what audience they will target with each class. It is common that to obtain the final title of the career, a practice is carried out with other colleagues, to demonstrate all the knowledge acquired.

Pilates teachers can perform tasks in a gym, offering their knowledge. They can also work in their own centers, offering only the Pilates method or doing teamwork and inviting people to enjoy, in the same place, different body care treatments, such as massages or other benefits.
