Pilates Barrels

1-day topic

Geared to Pilates or Yoga teachers, this teacher training program is on two of the most simple but effective of the “Studio Series” machines developed by J.H. Pilates.
The Spine corrector or Clara Barrel and the Ladder Barrel are loved by teachers looking to develop programs for their patients or clients using classical contents with the PILATESwiss® Visceral approach for breathing and alignment. Learn to teach both personal training clients as well as small groups on and with the Barrels. This can be used as one more building block towards PILATESwiss® 450 hour comprehensive teacher education program. Course materials, assessments and language of instruction are completely bilingual in English or German at PILATESwiss®.
