OUR NEW MENTORING PROGRAM
If you’ve ever wished you could add another private lesson to your schedule but couldn’t afford to, read on.
Clients who are taking one private lesson a week with a faculty or senior faculty member may participate in our Mentoring Program as follows:
During your regular private lesson, a student teacher will observe and take notes.
In your additional lesson with the student teacher, the student teacher will reproduce and build out from the observed lesson, under the advisement of your regular teacher.
We see this as a way to provide continuity to our clients while making less expensive student teacher rates available to you, and furthering the education of our student teachers through the mentoring process. Regular student teacher rates or student teacher ten-pack rates, apply.
CHRISTINE BECKER AND SIRKKA SVANOE GO TO FLORIDA for the annual Pilates Method Alliance Conference in early November. Christine will be teaching two classes at the conference—a first for her. We hope to stimulate interest in our Pilates Teacher Training Program—we usually bring back a few new tools and toys, as well!

I regained the use of my leg. Pilates workouts keep me focused on the strengths and weaknesses of my body, and how to move properly."
