We’re 5 weeks away from our fall EYT Pilates Teacher Training Pilates Mat Teacher Training! 🩵Join us for three weekends of in-person studio learning! Use the EYT Pilates Teacher Training online materials to supplement your studying in the weeks we are apart.

We believe in teaching the body in front of you! Our ultimate goal is to empower you with the skills and knowledge to keep your clients safe while they explore the Pilates method. While Pilates Matwork is having a “moment” on social media platforms at the moment…the Pilates method has a rich history! Mr. Joseph Pilates developed his system of “Contrology” in the 1920’s. His exercises were developed to unify “mind, body and spirit”. We have a deep respect for the classical repertoire and strive to offer a balance of modifications and variations to bring the Pilates method into a contemporary setting.

We would love for you to join us! Please contact Kirsty at info@kootenaipilates for more information! Registration for our Matwork training will be closing soon!
