Fletcher ABC's Course: March 13, 10-5pm

One of the elements of Fletcher Pilates that sets it apart from many other Pilates programs is its codified cuing system and percussive breath.  This course covers the Fletcher Percussive Breath™ technique, the Standing & Centering™ Cues, the Fletcher Fundamentals™,  and Pilates Movement Principles.  This is the foundation of all Fletcher Pilates® study and practice.

This is a terrific course for Pilates students, teachers in training, and even for experienced teachers.  This course is a pre-requisite to all Fletcher Licensing Courses.

$250 includes materials and licensing fees. Take this course with the Spine Corrector Course, and get both for $450. Register here.

Fletcher Spine Corrector Course: March 14, 10-5pm

This course provides the most innovative and comprehensive exploration of this vital but largely underused piece of Pilates equipment. It covers the original spine corrector work taught to Ron Fletcher by Clara Pilates, as well as many of the Fletcher innovations developed over the past 30 years. Designed primarily as a licensing and continuing education opportunity for Pilates teachers, this course also provides an excellent continuing education opportunity for teachers and students of other movement disciplines.

$250 includes materials and licensing fees. Take this course with the ABC's Course, and get both for $450. Register here.
