The Aline Conditioning Technique®<br />
Certification Program<br />
learned Pilates the old fashioned way...through<br />
I a two year apprenticeship. After completing<br />
my course work and apprenticeship, I was certified<br />
in 1991. I have been teaching Pilates mat<br />
work and apparatus ever since. The success of<br />
my first studio rapidly required that I personally<br />
train teachers who would be capable of preserving<br />
my standards of teaching. That result is<br />
now The Aline Conditioning Technique<br />
Certification Program.<br />
Our Certification Program has earned a reputation<br />
for producing teachers of the highest quality.<br />
Our Graduate Instructors are far more capable<br />
than just studio employees. They are completely<br />
proficient and have gone on to open their<br />
own studios or initiate Pilate’s programs at spas,<br />
physical therapy practices, gyms, dance companies<br />
and studios.<br />
As a program director who still works<br />
hands-on with our clients, I expanded my<br />
knowledge base with a certification in<br />
Gyrokenisis yoga (yoga for dancers) as well<br />
as a separate certification in Gyrotonic apparatus.<br />
I am constantly furthering my education<br />
of the body through anatomy workshops and<br />
seminars, and have recently completed morecourse<br />
work in Anatomy for <strong><strong>Fit</strong>ness</strong><br />
Professionals. Aline Conditioning Studio is a<br />
certified pre-training center for Gyrotonics<br />
and Gyrokenisis Yoga.<br />
The Aline Conditioning Technique<br />
Certification distinguishes itself from other<br />
programs by focusing on the teachers’ ability<br />
to perform the work. By comprehending<br />
Pilates on this deeper level, a teacher can<br />
develop their ability to cue exercises from an<br />
experiential frame of reference. This is important<br />
now more than ever because the core<br />
work of Pilates is being lost by mass certification.<br />
The emphasis is being misplaced on<br />
learning too many exercises without regard<br />
for proper execution, which is where the real<br />
results come from.<br />
Another distinguishing feature of our certification<br />
program is the extensive training in<br />
which our Graduate Instructors are able to<br />
develop variations on the Pilates concepts to<br />
accommodate all body types and fitness levels,<br />
without losing the essence of Pilates’ basic<br />
concepts. Since Joseph Pilates created this<br />
work over 70 years ago, there have been many<br />
discoveries about body mechanics. As Pilates<br />
training becomes available to the masses, it is<br />
imperative that the work be taught by its foundational<br />
concepts, then modified to accommodate<br />
different ages, health issues and body<br />
types on an individual basis.<br />
Finally, after completion of the certification<br />
program, I am available for consultation on job<br />
hunting and preparation for the interview process,<br />
or for planning and set up of your own studio.<br />
Auditions for acceptance into the training program<br />
are held the first Saturday of every month<br />
at 8:15am at Aline Studios.<br />
