Are you searching for an exciting career?
Wanting to build on your foundation of healing arts or dance?
Looking for fulfilling work helping others?
Taking the next step in your own personal fitness?
Our comprehensive training could be ideal for you!
Twice each year, we welcome small groups of students into our sunny studio
for twelve months of highly personalized teacher training
in our unique certification program.
At Vitality, students spend the first six months of training focusing on their own bodies.
This emphasis allows students to experience first-hand the results of the Pilates Method,
including improved posture, strengthened core muscles, and proper joint alignment.
Additionally, each new student is paired with a mentor
to strengthen the relationships of the students body and foster academic teamwork.
The second six-month segment is devoted to learning the art of teaching Pilates
through imagery and creative visualization. In this segment, students build confidence
in their teaching skills through instructing individuals and small classes.

and studio practice time, each student will receive:
- training on the full spectrum of Pilates equipment, including Reformers, Cadillac’s, Chairs, and mats.
- introduction to anatomy, kinesiology, and pathology as related to Pilates.
- certification by the Pilates Method Alliance, so you graduate with the professional credibility to meet the demands of your clientele.

The Vitality Philosophy:
We honor individuality, and believe every body is unique and wise. Integrating the original work of
Joseph H. Pilates with current research and adaptive applications, our goal is to increase effectiveness
through modification and expansion. Our approach includes a unique focus on calming the nervous system
which awakens the deeper muscle layers in our bodies, leading us to more complete support and balance,
as well as to a lifelong journey of discovery.
_______________________________
Pilates, like ballet or martial arts, is a discipline. At Vitality, Pilates is approached with an emphasis on technique. Our students learn correct form for breathing, alignment, fluidity & precision, concentration, control & isolation, centering, and stabilization. If you’ve experienced Pilates, you will have noticed that:
- Continuous, full, deep breathing is synchronized with the choreography of movement.
- Moving with the joints in efficient alignment reduces friction and wear.
- Smooth movement is achieved by proper pacing and fine motor control.
- Conscious awareness of the body's movement and sensations is achieved through mental focus.
- Movement follows intention; specific muscle sets work while others relax.
- Movement & stability come from a still, solid, central foundation, both physically and energetically.
Our Teachers in Training learn to apply these forms to produce the most efficient use of muscles, so the maximum benefit is gained from each exercise.
