THE PILATES IMMERSION

The Immersion is a pre-professional program, designed to fulfill the prerequisite of the Teacher Training Intensive. As a student of the Immersion, you will:

• Learn the essentials of the Pilates Repertoire on the Mat and Equipment

• Build strength, increase flexibility and improve alignment

• Gain confidence and proficiency with the equipment and the exercises so that you can assess if you are truly ready to participate in the Intensive and become a Pilates Instructor

• Be required to complete reading assignments and quizzes in preparation for the Intensive

Precautions & Prerequisites
• The Immersion is a rigorous training program, taking students through the curriculum at a fairly fast pace; it is not appropriate for those with serious limitations or injuries.

• To qualify for the Immersion, you should have at least 2 years related movement experience, be an Intermediate/Advanced level Pilates student and have completed at least 10 private sessions with an EHS Teacher Trainer. It is recommended that you use the private sessions to learn the repertoire (recommended prerequisite curriculum lists are available at the front desk) and to deal with any imbalances or body issues that you may have.

• An audition is now required for all students interested in the Immersion. The audition will be a private session with a Teacher Trainer (at your expense) and will focus on determining if the Immersion is right for you, if you have completed all necessary prerequisites, and if you require additional training before starting the Immersion.
