STOTT PILATES® Intensive Reformer - IR
The STOTT PILATES® Intensive Reformer Course is for students who are already working in the fields of fitness or movement, as well as those who want a career change and whose schedule does not allow them to devote the time necessary for our complete Comprehensive Program
This 50-hour course is usually conducted over 3-4 weekends or ten days.
This training will allow you to plan and guide private sessions or group classes with the STOTT PILATES Level 1 (essential and intermediate) Reformer repertoire of exercices for a wide range of clients.
You will leave with a solid foundation and required skills to develop effective and motivating Pilates Reformer programs.
* Although it is preferable to complete the anatomy course before your first class, it is possible to take the course at the same time or within a reasonable time frame.
** While It is better to complete the IMP course before the IR course, the reverse can also be done.
