Excercise without stress, but needing full committment from both tutor and devotee.
Pilates wakes up the body, mind and spirit. It reconnects and co-ordinates the neuro-muscular system by using conscious control. Pilates engages the mind in simple, thoughtful analysis which is fundamental to the technique. The self is fully activated and engaged in the work. Whether for basic maintenance, learning new skills or improving technique, the devotee can expect constant benefits and improvements.
Working the body from basic to complex routines can challenge us on all levels of self, yet it gives back a great sense of mental and physical integration. We work with fewer repetitions and a wider range of variations to each exercise, relating to the needs of the individual. This keeps the devotees focused, alert and motivated to improvements to their programme.
The controlled breathing patterns in co-ordination with each exercise, help create a meditative element which allows the devotee to release and distress the mind while working out.
The Pilates Professionals International, train their teaching staff for 2 years. After graduating there is a probationary period of 2 years before they are a fully accepted member of TPPI. This is to ensure ongoing training to confirm and enhance the knowledge they have gained. Many Pilates Practitioners agree it takes nearly 5 years of constant teaching and practice before one truly is able to understand and execute the method with awareness.
The training with the TPPI incorporates rehabilitation with pre-basic pilates all the way through to very advanced work. Balancing the bodys integration is a top priority each session before the true workout begins. We work with the awareness of 3 dimensions, from the internal to external, with deep to the superficial body alignments.
All members of TPPI are obliged to continue with professional development 10 hrs per year, as well as weekly workouts in order to maintain their membership ( see membership for details). All members are owners, managers or employees of a fully equipped Pilates studio. Though our focus is on fully comprehensive membership, most members also enjoy the benefits of teaching Pilates Mat classes.
We give thorough tutoring and directions, consistently co-ordinating and assessing the needs and progressions of the individual. Our members emphasise excellence in studio practice, guiding clients through immediate, short term and long term aims and objectives, and take a consistent integrated approach to each session.
