Studio 4 Pilates is thrilled to be one of six studios across the country entrusted with disseminating the internationally acclaimed Fletcher Pilates, the authentic evolution of the traditional Pilates work. Ron studied with Joseph and Clara Pilates (along with other movement legends such as Martha Graham) before teaching and evolving the work on his own. Our teachers studied directly with Ron, and, in many cases, actually helped to shape his program. Our students are from all over the Bay Area, and even travel from neighbor states to work with our renowned faculty. |

Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training Program: The Fletcher Pilates Program of Study is one of the most rigorous and comprehensive teacher training programs in the country. The ten month program includes beginner through advanced repertoire on the Mat, Reformer, Chair, Ped-a-Pul, Spine Corrector, Cadillac, High Barrel, and Magic Circle, in addition to the unique Fletcher Towelwork and the Fletcher Barrework. Students are required to learn the work in their own bodies, making this one of the most experiential programs around. But beyond learning material, we place a great deal of emphasis on teaching our students how to teach. One of the ways we do this is through the Fletcher Fundamentals and a detailed cueing system which forms the cornerstone of this program. You'll also study anatomy, contraindications, specific body types, and body issues. Our program of study produces fully formed teachers--professionals ready to enter the workforce. Our next Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training Program starts February 22, 2012. Click here for an application. Click here for more information. Email Catherine with any questions you may have. Fletcher Intensive Licensing Courses: Fletcher intensives are an opportunity for movement professionals (Pilates teachers or other movement specialists) to have an in-depth learning experience with the Fletcher style of Pilates. Each course is 5 consecutive days and includes an exam and a license to teach the work presented. The Towelwork/Barrework/Floorwork course is a wonderful opportunity to experience the repertoire that is unique to the Fletcher program. Ron's dance background and his gift for creating movement led to the development of these three elements. They are all dynamic and functional, profoundly valuable to the general population and add a whole new dimension to teaching classes or private clients. This particular intensive is a perfect match for the veteran Pilates teacher looking for something inspiring to enrich their teaching. Join us January 25-29, 2012. Email us to reserve your spot. The Matwork intensive is perfect for the fitness professional looking to add Pilates to their repertoire. Beyond the 36 mat exercises, you'll learn the Fletcher Fundamentals, basic Pilates principles, transitions between movements, and how to effectively teach this work to a mixed population. It's the most comprehensive self-standing Matwork intensive you'll find anywhere, because we care about how you teach it. Check back for our next workshop. Continuing Education Courses: Studio 4 Pilates presents workshops on a variety of topics, including Fletcher Spine Corrector, Advanced Towelwork, Advanced Floorwork, Ped-a-Pul, Pre/Post Natal, Osteoporosis, and more.
