econd Wind Pilates Plus® Studio specializes
Sin The Pilates Method and Integrated
Movement Therapies (IMT)®. The Pilates
Method is an approach to body conditioning that
develops deep core strength, balanced flexibility,
endurance, and movement coordination for optimal
fitness. IMT is a synthesis of complementary
approaches to movement education, rehabilitation,
pain-management, and body-mind fitness
that includes essential principles found in Laban
Movement Analysis®, the Bartenieff
Fundamentals®, Yoga, Dance, Tai Chi, and studies
in biomechanics among others. Through
Pilates and IMT, our instructors work a diverse
range of clients in the areas of strength, range of
motion, flexibility, muscular and fasciae strain,
postural alignment, injury rehabilitation, and
neuromuscular re-patterning. The goal of Second
Wind Pilates Plus® Studio is to facilitate efficiency
and freedom of movement with the aim of
creating well-aligned, pain-free, and physically
active individuals.
Second Wind’s Teacher-Training Certification
Program combines The Pilates Method with
IMT® to form a unique somatic approach to
physical fitness. Bridging fitness, rehabilitation,
movement education, and stress management,
the program offers practitioners a model of integration
that combines holistic and Western
approaches to wellness. Second Wind’s instruction
in The Pilates Method integrates the medically
advanced knowledge of our time while
simultaneously preserving the essence of the
original work. Our goal is to help individuals
achieve their physical and personal potential
through conscious movement.
The learning goals of our program are: 1) To
offer an educational framework for the study of
the body-in-motion. 2) To deepen teachers’
knowledge and movement experiences of their
bodies by learning new ways to understand and
access their own movement profiles. 3) To use
this information to help teachers develop the
ability to “see” and assess the postural profiles
of their clients in order to work with them with
accuracy and sensitivity. 4) To acquire movement
and teaching skills that help teachers to bridge
the gap between floor/equipment exercises and
movement patterns that travel through space. 5)
To enhance inter-communication, networking,
and sharing of ideas between medical and complementary
health care practitioners in order to
maximize the success of our combined
approaches to physical health.
Three certification programs are offered: 1)
Pilates Mat/Integrated Movement Therapies
(IMT) ® (Level I), 2) The Pilates Reformer, and 3)
IMT® (level II). The Pilates Mat/IMT® course is
70 hours of studio and theory costing $1700 with
additional weekend courses in Functional
Anatomy and/or Postural Assessment. Students
are required to complete two case studies, 50
hours of observation and internship teaching, and
final exams in both Pilates and IMT®. Both
exams are practical and written. The Pilates
Reformer Certification is 40 hours in length costing
$1300 with a maximum of six students. The
IMT® (Level II) certification is offered in the form
of a series of intensive weekend workshops.
All certification courses include a Second
Wind® manual along with a series of readings.
Each certification course holds between five to
12 students; up to three teaching assistants will
also be present to assist in the training. The
requirements of the program are two years
teaching experience in the movement, fitness, or
healthcare fields, and a basic background in
anatomy. Students with less than this background
are supported and required to complete
more training.
Second Wind’s certification advisory group
includes a Certified Fitness and Program
Director, Personal Trainer, Pilates Director,
Certified Movement Analyst, Osteopath, and
Chiropractor. Second Wind® is recognized for
continuing education units (CEU) by the
FBC 53
