• All Pilates teachers (of all backgrounds)
• There is classical work and  contemporary work. 
• Pilates teachers who have gone through a Mat Comprehensive Teacher Training (classical or contemporary)
• Pilates teachers who have gone through an Equipment Comprehensive Teacher Training.
  • Equipment curriculum includes Reformer, Trapeze, and Chair. 
• Pilates teachers who have just received their certification, through Pilates teachers who have decades of experience.

• Pilates teachers who are not open to learning more efficient ways of teaching.
• Pilates teachers who want a quick training just to get the certificate.
• Pilates teachers who want to learn extreme, high-impact exercises for pregnancy and postnatal.
• Non-Pilates Teachers. 

To earn 16 CEC's for the National Pilates Certification Program, you will need to be active in the course for at least 4 months and complete the graduation requirements which include:

1. Your choice of an educational blogpost, or video showing what you have learned 

2. Completed the quiz at the end of the chapters. 

If you are a monthly member, your membership must be active at the time of graduation. 

• Most other trainings are offered over a 1 or 2 day course, in person and online. 
• But if you have taken one of those trainings, you know that they are not effective in making sure you are confident in what you are doing. 
• That's because education is only effective when you can actually practice what you are learning as soon as you are done with the lesson. 
• After each lesson in the PPI Academy, you are encouraged to practice what you learned within 24-48 hours. 
• This model is proven by the numerous graduates of the PPI Academy who share the grounded confidence they now have because they have been able to practice while they learn, and the women who are benefiting from their services.

• The estimated time to complete the program, including practice is 4 months.
• If you dedicate 4-8 hours a week to study and practice, you will easily graduate within 4 months. 
• With that said, I encourage you to focus more on implementing what you learn, by actively working with pregnant and postpartum women, rather than focusing on the amount of time it will take you to finish the course.  
• You are encouraged to begin working with this population after you complete the QUICK-START Quiz (within a few weeks of joining the program)
  • Then, you can apply what you are learning in the course (aka 'practice') with the women who are lucky enough to work with you.
• I encourage you to approach all continuing education this way. 
• You can have all the certifications you desire. Yet, they are only valuable when what you are learning is being shared through YOUR unique approach to teaching.  

• 100% online, We use a platform called Kajabi, which houses the course content.
• The course is delivered in the form of:
• Videos
• Keynote Presentations (Power Point)
• Audios
• PDF Guides
• Images 
• The course requires you to be ACTIVE in the learning process, so you will have an activity after each lesson

• Women are having babies later in life; in their 40s. This population tends to pay closer attention to their health, increasing the chance that you WILL be teaching pregnant women at some point in your career. 
• You don't want to be the teacher who turns away, or loses a client because they become pregnant, and don't know how to work with them. 
• Also, pre and postnatal Pilates is FANTASTIC for
  • beginners to Pilates,
  • clients with back pain, and
  • clients who prefer or need a gentler workout. 
• You never know when a pregnant or postnatal woman is going to walk through your studio door! 

• The on-line academy structure allows you to go through the lessons on your own time, in the comfort of your own studio or home and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, apply the lessons immediately, so that you can:
• Start helping women now
• Refine your teaching skills
• And boost your confidence in teaching
• Saves you time and money on travel.

After completing the Pregnancy Pilates Impact Academy training, including practicing your teaching,

• 1. Record a 20-30 minute video teaching a pre or postnatal client using the techniques taught in the PPI Academy. 
• 2. Write a blog post/article for pregnant or postpartum women using what you learned in the PPI Academy 

AND

• You will need to complete the quiz after each specified chapter.

You must be active in the PPI Academy for AT LEAST 4 months before you are eligible for graduation. 

You get 365 days to go through the PPI Academy and apply the lessons. 

If after 365 days, you have not increased your confidence in teaching, I will give you a full refund. 

However, you will need to show that you have done the work, practiced with pre and postnatal clients, and have a conversation with Alison about why you feel you aren't more confident in teaching.

• Closing enrollment allows us to focus on supporting the teachers who are on their Perinatal Pilates Specialist journey. 
• It also creates an exciting group dynamic where teachers get to support each other to the 'finish line' of graduation!
