Certification through a classical Pilates program requires a significant investment of time and resources, yet it is only the beginning.  Being a Pilates teacher requires a passion for teaching, broad experience working with different people and body types, and extensive continuing education. 

CORE hosts a variety of continuing education seminars throughout the year, both formally in our capacity as a Power Pilates PTC and informally as internal enrichment for our employees and other teachers in our community.

Upcoming Continuing Education at CORE:

Course: Pre & Post Natal Training

Instructor: Carolyne Anthony

Dates: October 14-16, 2011

This intense course is geared towards the experienced instructor who can assimilate information quickly. The three day course covers all the information from the pelvic floor, prenatal and post natal courses. The information is formatted to become a single program that will allow the instructors take their client through pregnancy, into early postnatal period and progress to a regular postnatal session. The exercise programs are linked through each period for maximum benefit to the client.

Course: From the Ground Up & Pilates and the Shoulder Girdle

Instructor: Rachel Taylor Segel & Kelli Burkhalter

Dates: August 20-21, 2011

From the Ground Up

In this workshop we will delve into the power inherent in the feet, which both ground our entire body as well as act as a conduit for energy and information. We will explore the ramifications of the support and action of the feet rising through the legs and into the hips and pelvis. We will learn how to get the most out of and into our feet throughout the Pilates repertoire.

Pilates and the Shoulder Girdle

By learning to facilitate optimum movement in our client's shoulder girdle - whether they are healthy, pregnant or post-partum, or even injured - we can help our clients relieve neck pain, shoulder cuff injuries, carpel tunnel syndrome, etc. as well as enhance and deepen their breathing. We will review key Pilates exercises which access and strengthen the shoulder girdle in order to rehabilitate or to prepare for Level IV-V exercises.
