Comprehensive Certification Program

Studio owner and master Pilates instructor, Varvara Kalinin has developed two Pilates Certification Programs to train new Pilates instructors to be competent and effective movement practitioners. Varvara draws on her 24 years of teaching experience and in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and movement exploration to create this multidisciplinary Pilates training system. Her method is grounded in both classical and contemporary Pilates exercises, Feldenkrais, Alexander technique, Gyrotonic, release work and other evolved methods of exercise techniques supported by current movement science. Upon successful completion of our Pilates certificate programs, you will gain the competence and confidence required to be an effective Pilates teacher in both group and private client settings.

Perfect Posture Pilates Comprehensive Training program is divided into 2 phases:

Phase 1 – Anatomy & Mat Pilates: 

Phase 1 is the foundation module currently being offered twice per year. It includes anatomy, essential movement, biomechanics and the Pilates Mat repertoire. Students will receive a certificate upon completion of Phase 1 and are then certified to teach Mat Pilates at any Pilates studio or fitness center where Mat Pilates is offered. Those who wish to complete the Comprehensive Pilates Training Program will need to complete the Phase 2 module. Please note successful completion of Phase 1 is required prior to enrolling in Phase 2. 

Phase 2 – Specialized Pilates Equipment & Advanced Pilates Concepts:

Phase 2 includes training on all specialized Pilates equipment, including the Cadillac, Reformer, Chair, Ladder Barrel and small props. Students will learn both classical and contemporary Pilates equipment exercises and variations. In addition, Phase 2 includes advanced lectures such as postural analysis, key assessment skills and essential hands-on techniques. Graduates of Phase 2 will receive a Comprehensive Pilates Training Program certificate and are then certified to teach Pilates privates and group classes on all specialized Pilates equipment. Phase 2 is offered once per year starting in January.
