- Eve Gentry in 1991.

The Jess Ann Wellness Institute offers a comprehensive Pilates teacher training program.

Jess Ann Wellness Pilates Institute will be the firststate-approved Pilates school in Kansas and one of only a few in the nation.

The Jess Ann Wellness Institute is not a franchise. There are no hidden fees or partial programs in ouragreement.

f) Description of Training Hours

Personal Tutoring Sessions:Personal sessions are the most effective way to address your individual needs and goals as well as prepare you for the intensivePilates seminars. It is important to maintain notes of each lesson in a notebook as well as writing questions about exercises thatstill seem unclear. It is also beneficial to note comments (made to you or others) that seem insightful, beneficial, and effective.

Observation Hours:Observe private lessons and group classes and take notes. Look for exercises you are still unclear about, watch how teachersand clients interact, see how a lesson develops, and watch how different clients move. Observation hours help the studentunderstand how a private lesson unfolds, why teachers do certain exercises with specific clients, and how to behaveprofessionally in a private lesson and/or group class.

Assistant Teaching Hours:Assist the teacher with class and equipment set up, hands on assists and spotting, retrieval of props, demonstration of exercises,clean up after class. Assistant teaching hours can be used in group equipment classes or private lessons as well as helping outwith general studio operations such as answering telephone, cleaning equipment, sweeping floors, tidying restroom, emptyinggarbage, giving tours and demonstrations.

Personal Practice Hours:A student must have a solid understanding of Pilates in their own body before attempting to teach it to others. Personal practicehours allow the student to work through each exercise at his/her own pace, to make mistakes, and to become physically strongerand emotionally confident.

Workouts:Group Pilates mat classes at Core Strength Wichita can be used toward these hours. Small group classes will help one learn thepace of a Pilates workout, gain knowledge in transition skills, develop an understanding of group dynamics, as well as furtherones own mastery of Pilates exercises.

Teaching Hours:Teaching hours can start to accrue after the Pilates Mat Seminar. Begin to teach what you know on willing participants. Eachstudent teaches free lessons until theyve completed the Trimester 1 practical exam. (Teaching hours can be set up during a t ime

when the studio is open and a Level 3 Instructor is present.) Once the student has been approved by the Director of Educationto teach group classes, Core Strength Wichita. may hire the student as an employee, and the student will be able to teach privatelessons and/or group classes as a Level 1 Instructor. During the course of the Teacher Training Program, it is required that thestudent teacher either: one evening class (6:00pm or after), OR one Saturday. Additionally, students will be required to teach aReformer Basics class throughout the program, with reduced pay. This will solidify the students technique in teaching aReformer-based class and provides foundational practice that is necessary to become a successful Pilates teacher.
