Join an expert teaching community that inspires their students through the most comprehensive Pilates education in the Midwest.  Helios Center for Movement offers exclusive teacher training through Fletcher Pilates® Program of Study. This educational program includes a comprehensive professional teaching curriculum with unique continuing education opportunities and an exclusive endorsement from Ron Fletcher.

The Fletcher Pilates® Program of Study is designed to give future teachers a thorough knowledge of the Fletcher Pilates® work and to instill an impeccable understanding of how to teach movement to all levels with expertise, integrity and enthusiasm. The full range of Pilates exercises with all apparatus is incorporated, as well as the Pilates Matwork, the signature Fletcher Floorwork®, Fletcher Towelwork®, Spine Corrector and Percussive Breath™ technique.

The comprehensive program is taught in six, 5 day sessions, spread out over the course of a year.  Each session includes teaching and discussion of the movements, structured group classes and unique opportunities for student teaching.  Complete anatomy lectures pertaining to the class material and guided opportunities to explore movement are also included in sessions. In addition, students take part in multiple teaching labs that mimic true to life teaching situations that prepare the students for the professional world. In an effort to guide teachers through every aspect of this process, we place a strong emphasis on communication between the student teacher and Fletcher Faculty Member in this teaching program.  Weekly and monthly communication is paramount to the success of our future teachers and will be scheduled between each student and their advisor.
