STOTT PILATES®
Intensive Reformer Pilates Teacher Training
in a time when the word pilates is used more loosely than ever and new teacher trainings appear everywhere, our intention has always been different. we believe that meaningful education comes from depth, clarity and standards. not from volume.
this is why we’re thrilled to have been selected as a merrithew™ host training center. merrithew™ is internationally recognized for its leadership in mind-body education and is the creator of the renowned stott pilates® method. as a host center, we are able to offer merrithew’s high-quality pilates education and instructor training in hamburg, bringing global standards of excellence into our warm and welcoming studio environment.
the stott pilates® intensive reformer course is perfect for movement lovers who want to take their pilates teaching to the next level. this program covers both the essential and intermediate reformer repertoires, giving you the tools to guide clients safely and effectively in private or group sessions.
you’ll dive into the stott pilates® movement system. a smart, mindful framework that helps you create personalised programs for every client. built on stott pilates® principles, the course emphasises optimal movement, body awareness, and fascial integration to improve performance, balance, and overall wellbeing.
every exercise and modification is explored in detail, so you’ll master programming, cueing, and client correction. by the end, you’ll leave confident, skilled, and ready to deliver high-quality reformer sessions tailored to each client’s needs.
