This teacher education is specifically designed for Pilates teachers, movement specialists, physical therapists and midwives who want to rehabilitate and strengthen the core of new mothers.
Because the core in particular needs to recover, the PILATESwiss® Visceral approach is the best strategy. The workshop is valuable to participants who have some sort of teaching experience and who would like to gain skills in conveying Pilates relevant work for postnatal women. The workshops were developed in co-operation with PILATESwiss® graduate midwives and physical therapists. Pilates Post Natal is one of the building blocks of the 450-hour comprehensive teacher-training program. PILATESwiss® is a comprehensive and internationally recognized teacher-training program. Course materials, assessments and language of instruction are completely bilingual in English or German at PILATESwiss®.
