Requirements

Some level of Pilates experience.

Applicant must be able to do one of the following:
- Attend the LIVE training Workshops in person in North Liberty, IA
- Attend the LIVE training Workshops virtually
- Watch the Workshop REPLAY before the next Workshop

Please note that the best way to learn is live. I understand that this isn't always feasible for different reasons, so I am providing a replay option.

Applicant must complete the Anatomy Course in Teachable and attend / watch the Week 10 Workshop [LIVE or REPLAY].

Applicant will be responsible for the following costs:
- The All Levels Pilates Mat Manual and the Workbook (~$70 + shipping)
  - Everything in the physical manual is available in the Teachable Course, so this is an optional purchase.
  - I cannot ship outside the US. Anyone outside the US will get a pdf copy of the manual, if they choose, or they can have access via the Teachable Course. **It is expensive to have it printed because it is over 350 pages!
- Anatomy Materials listed on the Mat Program Page
- Travel, Lodging, and Food expenses [if traveling to the workshops]
- Self-Guided Hours**
- Assessment Fees**

*Training takes place in North Liberty, Iowa (close to Iowa City)

- About 4.5 hours from Minneapolis, MN

- About 3.5 hours from Chicago, IL

- About 4.25 hours from St. Louis, MO

- About 4 hours from Omaha, NE

**Extra Notes About Costs:

The program costs do not include any of the assessments, but I will have options to cut costs. These come much later; after you've completed your self-guided hours.
The program costs do not include any of the self guided hours [see below], so these are done at your own cost. I have provided options to cut costs below and will talk more about this in the Workshops.
The program costs do not include the Anatomy Materials listed on the Mat Program Page, but the Course in Teachable is included.
Observations - a minimum of 35% must be in studio.
- A pre-approved list of virtual observations will be provided with a code for 15-30 days free.
Private / Semi-Private Sessions - you can practice with any classical teacher; virtual or in studio. Options provided to help with cost.
Classes - a playlist with classes will be provided and can fulfill ALL class hours needed.
Self Practice - you'll learn how to create self practice during the workshops. There should be no cost to practice.
Practice Teaching - there is typically no cost unless you need to rent studio space or buy props.
