This course encompasses more than 150 of the original and evolved Pilates exercises as well as hundreds of variations and modifications. Our teaching method is interactive, helping you assess the whole person – physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. The educational approach incorporates:

• discussion forum
• labs (doing, observing, teaching)
• problem solving (utilizing case studies and deductive reasoning)
• hands-on teaching (group and individuals)
• assessment skills
• principles of neuro-linguistics (modeling, sequencing and structuring information, and maintaining appropriate learning states)

To graduate you will be required to complete, at your own expense, the required number of hours of observation, self-mastery and apprentice teaching. You will also need an educator/mentor to check-off all of the exercises listed in your course logbook for teaching and demonstration. See our FAQ for further information.

As a Polestar student, you have access to a wealth of valuable course materials through the Polestar Online platform (the online courses awarded depend on the course you are enrolled in). Access is included in your course fee, although there is a limit on how long you can access the online course. This provides students with the opportunity to use this valuable learning resource until they sit their exams. For professional courses, students are encouraged to take the exam 6-8 months after the last course module. Students who choose to sit their exams at a later date (within one year after the last course module) may be required to pay an additional fee to maintain access to the online course. Further details can be found in our terms and conditions. As there may be country-specific terms and conditions of admission, you may need to check with your sponsor.
