Introduction

Introduction

This is a course which has been developed with the development of the Pilates Teaching Industry for those instructors who wish to bridge between their existing qualifications and the MK Pilates Diplomas we are very excited to offer a tailor made education which incorporates the work of not just the Matwork Stage 01, but also our Stage 02 and 03 courses to fully round our education to cover group and personal training formats to all levels of the Pilates Matwork Repertoire.

Many teachers have now been teaching for some time and either come from a specific school and style of the Pilates Method or have a varied and multitude different educations from training providers and events. We offer this course to all instructors who wish to add onto or develop their existing knowledge and experience and MK Pilates have had over the years many people from both of these groups come to us asking for more education or specifically how can they learn the specific MK Pilates interpretation of Pilates.

Traditionally we have always recommended that our Matwork Stage 01 course is where we lay down the MK Pilates Method, and also where we focus specifically on how we believe one should teach the Pilates Method for the best results, both physically and mentally, for the clients. But also our unique modifications and variations the we look at on Matwork Stage Two and the Assessment Process and Programme development on Matwork Stage Three all offer our unique style of teaching. Here with our Bridging course we have taken the main elements that make us different on each of these courses and bring them to you in our new Bridging Course
