Form is one of three third level teacher training courses intended for folks who have a strong knowledge in anatomy and have started to explore teaching movement. We will continue to study anatomy and movement, but shift our focus to working one-on-one with Pilates clients. In Form, we will explore client and postural assessment protocols client assessment protocols and session planning for individual(Foundation and Fundamentals, or the equivalent, are prerequisites to all level three courses)

Much like its prequels Foundation and Fundamentals, we continue talking about movement of the body, teaching methods, and cueing techniques. We use what we know thus far to continue exploring other movements, alternative ways of approaching them, and deepen our practice of sharing movement with others. We introduce more small props in Form, like the Pilates Magic Circle and medium weights between 8 and 12 pounds. We will continue to experiment with the Pilates squish ball, Yoga blocks, very light weights between 1 and 3 pounds, and light weights between 4-7 pounds.

Anatomically, Form focuses on Fascia and stretching, spinal mobility and functional strength for aging. Methodologically, Form is mainly informed by the principles of Pilates, but includes some aspects of strength training.
