Professional Development for Teachers
We are committed to continual learning and we are delighted to include other like minded teachers.
Our Studios are open to all Reps Level 3 qualified Pilates Teachers and we welcome the chance to get together, update knowledge and add to your continuing development or come to a weekly class and employment opportunities.
We run informal sessions for teachers to swop ideas and information and also offer more formally structured teacher training session and workshops which we all require for our Professional/Career Development Points.
Sessions run so far this year include..
An explanation of Hip and Knee Problems with Mr David Stock BSc; FRCS (Orth) Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Northampton General Hospital and The County Clinic, Billing Road, Northampton.
Brilliantly presented session with David discussing hip and knee issues and the surgical possibilities and an opportunity for a Q&A session for Pilates teachers to gain a clear understanding of working with clients who have had or may be having these procedures.
Hip and Knee Rehabilitation with Mark Buckingham MCSP Dip AP Phys Sports
Phyio lead follow up session to David’s surgical session, with a hugely experienced physio, Mark heads up Witty Pask and Buckingham Physiotherapy Clinic and another chance for teachers to gain clear understanding of correct practice.
Spinal Examination with Mr Nick Birch Orthopaedic Surgeon and Spinal Specialist based in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
Another great session with Nick who has done so many sessions for us. A follow up to the Low Back Pain Course, Nick gave us a simple way of assessing clients spinal mobility. Essential to know where we need to focus our sessions for effective results.

Supervising Teaching for Body Control Pilates®
If you are currently training with Body Control Pilates, then do contact Studio Director Karen Grinter to book your supervising teaching hours.
Karen is Regional Co-ordinator for Home Counties and a First Sign Off, Louise Stafford at Towcester
and Heather Clarridge at Olney are also Supervising Teachers both about 20/30 mins from the Northampton Studio. With a few phone calls and planning ahead you can maximize your hours in three venues.
You are also welcome to observe any of the other 7 teachers who work with Karen at both the Northampton and Rushden Studio’s and gain more valuable experience on your Pilates certification journey.
None of it will be wasted!
Karen has run a student teachers day at the Northampton studio and offered 4 classes free to everyone and this enabled the student teachers the opportunity to teach as they would for their final sign off exam.
All students were asked to teach the opening, middle and closing phase of the class. It was a hugely successful and tiring day! But well worth it for the students who got plenty of hours in and the chance to teach a full sequence as they will need to for the final sign off. If you wish to come to the next one, contact Karen.
If you wish to register for supervising teaching, do contact Karen. For sessions with Louise Stafford or Heather Clarridge contact them directly, contact details will be in your supervising teacher listings.
