Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the traditional weekend training when it is teaching a topic like the pelvic floor, or new Reformer exercises.
‼️ But to go through a weekend training expecting to be a specialist at the end of those few days is silly.

There is no such thing as "falling behind" because everyone has their own learning pace.

That is why The Pregnancy Pilates Impact Academy provides personal & professional development exercises so that you can create a lasting, positive IMPACT from the very first meeting you have with a client.
The 'impact' in Pregnancy Pilates IMPACT is an acronym for the Perinatal Pilates Specialists' 'ways of being' that you are encouraged to practice from the very first day you enroll in the PPI Academy.
These are the IMPACTER's ways of being:
By practicing these ways of being in everyday life and teaching, you develop certainty in your abilities which helps to cultivate unshakeable confidence in every situation.
"If you want to impress people, make it complicated. If you want to help people, make it simple."
Research shows that client education is vital in the pursuit of health.
If a client understands
why they are doing an exercise,
how their body functions, AND
that their habits outside of the studio dramatically help or hinder their progress,
they are MUCH more likely to follow-through with their sessions, and work towards healthier habits in their everyday life.
Rachel is referring to a conversation she had with a client who was struggling with a negative body image.
"Being a member of "Pregnancy Pilates Impact Academy" means support, motivation, and amazing knowledge. ✧ I am learning a lot having support not only from Alison, but from the group as well; when I have a question there is always someone there with answers.✧ "
"I have been teaching Pilates for 5 years and pre/postnatal Pilates for 4 years - however I never felt completely confident in my knowledge of pregnancy movement until completing your course. ✧ It's unbelievable the difference it has made to my confidence teaching this population, but also made me realize that I will never stop learning. I have rediscovered my love of learning, so thank you. "
"I highly recommend this course for anyone with an interest in Pilates during and after pregnancy, in scientific/research based information, or for those desiring an accessible & self paced online course. I think most importantly, I became more comfortable teaching a client in her third trimester in a group class."
"I am very thankful for this course which will allow me to use my medical knowledge with Pilates. I have studied the pelvic floor many times, but have never understood it well, until now. Thank you. "

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

My 2 Whys. As you read this story, think about your OWN why.
In 2011, I was asked by my mentor Dolly Kelepecz to create a curriculum for her comprehensive Pilates teacher training program DK Body Balancing.
My husband and I were trying to get pregnant at the time, so I was immersing myself in everything I could related to pregnancy, exercise, and Pilates.
In 2012 I taught the first pre and postnatal Pilates teacher training, along with other contributors.
In 2014, after teaching the training for 2 years, and still not pregnant myself, I said a prayer to God:
"God, if you want me to continue educating Pilates teachers, I want to be pregnant."
After adopting 2 children, and experiencing 8 YEARS of infertility, I was pregnant the next month.
In July, 2015, our beautiful baby boy, Zechariah was born, and God had answered loud and clear what I was meant to do in my Pilates career.
The common theme among Pilates teachers tends to be lack of confidence in their skills, and sometimes life in general.
Despite having gone through other pre and postnatal trainings, they still don't feel ready to take on the responsibilities of teaching this population.
And if they are already teaching this population, they feel like an imposter.
My mission is to help Pilates teachers like you build the confidence and competence necessary to become the expert in teaching pre and postnatal women, so that you can make an impactful contribution with your teaching.
With perinatal depression and anxiety at an all time hight, and rampant misinformation on what to expect postpartum, there's a dire need for Perinatal Pilates Specialists who are educated in the bio-psycho-social aspects of teaching, and up to date with the research that will actually make a difference in their clients' lives.
I invite you to become a Perinatal Pilates Specialist through the Pregnancy Pilates IMPACT Academy, and join me and over 100 other Pilates teachers around the world on this mission of delivering quality Pilates sessions to pre and postnatal women.
