Comprehensive

The STOTT PILATES® Comprehensive program is intended for aspiring instructors with limited training in functional anatomy and little to no prior teaching experience. If you are not sure if the Comprehensive Track is appropriate for you, please discuss these options during your application interview. Students enrolled in this program will take the Intensive Level Courses (listed as IMP and IR on the course schedule) but will also take additional classes in functional anatomy, postural analysis and exam preparation and gain additional teaching skills through Pacific NW Pilates’ apprenticeship and mentoring program.
