Choosing Your Teacher Training Programme

The Polestar Pilates Teacher Training Certifications are designed to successfully bring you to a level of mastery, preparing you to become a competent Pilates Practitioner. Polestar's competency exams measure your ability to justify your exercise selections or treatment plan.

Polestar's flexible design allows you to attend courses on weekends, minimizing time away from home and work. Time between courses to study, observe and practice allows you to schedule courses based on mastery of the material and the amount of time and energy you can devote to your training.

You can earn Polestar Certifications in Studio, Mat and Rehabilitation. The diagram below shows the certifications according to the level of training they require.

Polestar courses follow the progression illustrated below. For those taking more than one certification program in the Fitness series, the Fitness Principles course (P-F) is required only one time.

Polestars Rehabilitation Certification
The Rehabilitation curriculum consists of three courses that utilize Pilates equipment and small props. These courses integrate lecture, lab and treatment plan design to teach theory and practice of movement rehabilitation for the trunk and extremities. As the courses progress, complexity of lecture concepts and movement repertoire increases, requiring greater skill in movement assessment, verbal and tactile cueing, integration of manual skills and program design (Rehab page)
