Volunteer for a free Pilates session with teacher training students at The Practice Space
Our incredibly skilled Pilates teacher trainees are required to teach real humans before the get certified. There is no better way to learn than to practice! Click the link below to volunteer for a free 45minute Pilates session Friday evenings between 4pm and 7pm. Sessions start March 15th.
What happens during a session?
The teacher training student will teach you for 45 minutes on all studio equipment at The Practice Space on Belmont street. They may come in with a goal to teach a certain sequence or set of exercises. The reason behind these hours is each teaching student can rehearse things they will eventually be teaching on a regular basis as a Pilates professional. As they progress through the program that session may become more customizable for the volunteers individual needs. Ultimately, volunteers are there to help and support the learning process of the teacher in training.
Sessions end at 45 minutes sharp so the educator and the training students can debrief, trouble shoot, and feedback from sessions.
Who if this for?
Volunteers need to be reliable and timely. The teacher training students hold a very tight schedule and having a reliable volunteer is the only way that hour of teaching counts towards the certification. If a volunteer no shows for a session they will no longer be able to volunteer for the program.
What are the prerequisites?
These free sessions are recommended for students who do not have serious medical conditions that may effect their Pilates practice. Although our teacher training students are wonderful and educated with regards to safety, they are still learning and need volunteers who are confident in their own body to be able to try things and provide supportive and constructive feedback.
Supervised By: Krista Loveless, Lily Ohm, and wonderful Practice Space educators

*If a teacher already has an education in Pilates repertoire this program is of great benefit as it dives deeply into teaching theory, planning, biomechanics and physiology, assessment and cueing. This program will help all teachers refine their "spidey senses". If you are already certified and desire to take this trimester independently of the first two please contact Krista directly.
