Recommended reading for those embarking on Pilates Teacher Training Courses

Pilates Method: An Integrative Approach to Teaching (Fitness Professionals) (Paperback)

Pilates Method For Teachers And Instructors

"Fitness Professionals: Pilates Method" is the first book to be written for the specific needs of Pilates instructors.

It contains everything a new teacher needs to know in order to pass the national qualification and is an ideal reference for experienced instructors.

Pilates is one of the most popular - and fastest growing - group exercise classes in the UK.

For many years, it has not been possible to write a definitive book for instructors as there have been many different schools of teaching. However, these have recently been brought together under a single national assessment, meaning that all Pilates instructors must have the same foundation knowledge.

This book covers these foundation subjects, which include: anatomy, the key principles of Pilates; assessment structuring a session; and, teaching a session.

Written to the requirements of the national standards, this book contains everything an instructor needs to know in order to successfully teach Pilates.
