1.5 Pilates Tower Repertoire Module CPD

Introduction

This Tower reformer Pilates instructor course is a Repertoire only course covering an extensive 'contemporary' 163 Pilates Tower Exercises.  The essential basics of teaching on the Cadillac / Tower are taught in the Mbodies Cadillac / Tower Induction course and not here.   This course is designed for Pilates Instructors or Physiotherapist to extend the scope of their repertoire on the Pilates Tower.

The Course can be taken as Online Learning Only - in which case assessment to ensure that the student has covered the full repertoire and can teach and perform a selection of the Repertoire is by way of Video submission + Virtual 'Zoom' Assessment with one of our Assessors.

The Course can be taken as a combination of Online Learning and then a Summative face to face small group session in one of our UK training centres.

The Course can be taken as 6 full days of Face-to-Face Education in one of our UK based training studios with a guarantee of Small Group (2 - 6 participants).

This is one of the 31 Lessons from the Course

Objectives

Mbodies Intensive Tower Repertoire Course will prepare you to teach a broad range of Tower exercises together with their variations and modifications performed in lying, seated, kneeling, and standing positions on all parts of the Tower including the frame.  

NB unlike the Induction course where we looked also at the Full Cadillac - the Repertoire here is purely 'Tower' and does not cater for the Parallel Overhead Bars or Trapeze.


The 153 Pilates Tower exercises are broken down into 31 lessons split into 6 Categories :
               
1. Roll Down Bar :-                 5 Lessons
2. Push Through Bar  :-        10 Lessons
3. Leg Springs :-                    7 Lessons
4. Arm Springs:-                    4 Lessons
5.Rowing :-                            1 Lesson
6. Baby Chair Arm Springs :- 4 Lessons

Repertoire comprehensively covers the exercises taught on the Tower.

At the completion of this module you will have a collection of safe and highly effective exercises which can be used as a part of Tower exercise programming focussing on, muscular conditioning/endurance, flexibility and strength based programmes in either one on one or group Tower situations.

Prerequisites

This course is suitable for any Pilates Matwork qualified instructor, physiotherapist or medical movement professional who has first attended the Mbodies Pilates Studio Tower Induction module. 

Students who can show attendance at an alternative Cadillac or Tower course where the basics of safety and use of Tower were taught will also be admitted

Online lessons are also suitable for those who purely wish to work through the Tower Repertoire for personal reasons and do not wish to take the summative face to face instructors day or Online Assessment - these customers will NOT receive any accreditation for having attended the course and there is no price reduction for not taking the summative assessments.

Duration

Approx 50 hours home study + Video Submission of you teaching 15 exercises and performing 15 exercises chosen by Mbodies tutors followed by a 2 hour 'Zoom' style one on one practical with an Instructor Trainer.
