So, WHAT IS IT?

The Rhythm Pilates® Online Teacher Training Course is a continuing education program for Pilates professionals, dancers and other fitness instructors who have knowledge of and training in movement.

Rhythm Pilates is an exciting fusion of study and disciplines that expands on the traditional Pilates method by incorporating more fluid transitions into whole body integrated movement art workout sequences choreographed to music. Rhythm Pilates is an exciting and evolutionary approach to the mat work incorporating Pilates, Yoga and Dance. Coordinating the original six Pilates principles and highlighting the elements of rhythm and flow, Rhythm Pilates transforms static movements, creating a series of 30-minute movement art workout combinations. The routines vary in levels and complexity, from the beginning level, to the intermediate and developing to the advanced level work. The sequencing is thoughtfully created to target the whole body, intelligently working to biomechanically prepare the mind, muscles, joints, and tissues and engage the positive spirit.

Developed by Lisa Hubbard, a Senior Faculty Member for the world renowned BASI Pilates®, the goals of Rhythm Pilates are threefold:

1. To increase the enjoyment of Pilates without diluting the true form of the method or sacrificing the intensity and focus of the work.

2. To take traditional mat Pilates in an evolutionary process.

3. To incorporate differing modalities for an enhanced experience.
