SynergySystems® Pilates Certification Course
SynergySystems® Fitness Studio is excited to offer our newly formulated Synergistic Therapeutic approach to a full Pilates Instructor Certification.
It includes over 400 hours of comprehensive education with a process that is designed to work with your schedule and can be taken in any order as
long as all hours are logged and completed.
Participants can choose to have emphasis in a certain area of the Pilates Method or choose an all-inclusive certification.
A therapeutic approach means serving and caring for the client in an all-embracing manner,
preventing dis-ease as well as managing specific physical limitations.
With this approach any Pilates Instructor can formulate and safely design a workout regime for all clients ranging from those with unique needs to
those who wish to be challenged at an elite athletic level.
Facilitated by renowned Pilates Master Trainer Cathleen Murakami, this certification process is designed for serious students interested in becoming teachers, veteran instructors who wish to deepen their therapeutic understanding or anyone who desires to refine their craft and understanding of the Pilates Method. This course will expand your understanding and appreciation of anatomy and biomechanics, Pilates theory, philosophy, history, and Pilates mat and apparatus exercises from novice through the advanced. Included in the course are techniques in verbal and tactile hands on cueing, postural assessment, new client protocol, energy sensing and intuition skill building as well as common sense in business and marketing to assist you in taking a holistic approach to your training and the training of others.
