Deeper exploration, for everyone
Master your Practice
Develop your Delivery
Achieve shift success into Open Studio operations
Over my years as I’ve delivered exercise/repertoire and business coaching modules, the more I’ve realised that we all best come to this knowledge organically through our own regular practice with oversight, as well as through observation, just as Joe Pilates progressed his own professionals into their positions within his studio. The things that matter most, indeed the things I think people find unique and most interesting about my teaching, are more conceptual. It’s through the exploration of these ideas, and then putting this into regular practice, that we actually learn ‘the system,’ which is in fact something much deeper than the widely accepted list of exercises considered to be Contrology.
To this end I’ve developed an inclusive Immersive Coaching Program that allows my regular clients to engage with me in a structured manner to further improve their relationship to practice, delivery and operations. The program focuses in on deeper concepts and strategies that aim to reach our own needs, as well as those of the diverse range of clientele that I, and participants, work with. Areas of inquiry delve into open studio business strategy, movement principles, allied therapy and science, method work to grow as a teacher, ways to understand how to assess and address Contrology movement, and methods for improved wellbeing for people that teach and run businesses.
During seminars we will be actively utilising the system of exercises we practice at PP so that you can understand the implications of the topic across the spectrum of Contrology seen through my eyes and philosophies. This not only helps us to learn more about exercises and apparatus we don’t know or understand, but also to see exercises in a new light and their useful place within the web of the system.
The program has also been developed to support my clients who are teachers and business owners that want to shift from other forms into traditional Pilates and towards teaching and running Open Studio model lessons and businesses. As a worldwide industry leader in this form of change I can assure that success with this form of delivery is not as simple as dropping this type of ‘class’ into a current operational model. Instead it actually requires an immense shift in culture, client profile, systems and possibly staff change, and ultimately brand mutation. Undertaking this program while also working out with me regularly through my own Open Studio greatly supports this form of change as you learn, train in and experience an industry-leading example, plus connect and network with the most established culture and group of like-minded professionals worldwide in order to form alliances, friendships and ultimately feel supported along your journey. If this is ultimately your goal I will also work with you one to one through coaching that specifically addresses your unique situation and process.
How it works
Next group to begin late 2025/2026 depending on interest
Studies are for any PP client, not just instructors
The program will consist of two events each month, each event running two hours in duration, 48 events in total across the program
Conducted virtually
Recordings of each event will be available following allowing participants to refrain from note taking and be totally immersed during events
The program will run if two or more people are enrolled. You must complete all events to graduate. If you miss an event you will be able to watch the recording and must then take a private appointment with me in the following month to go through material and questions you may have
If interest should form over different time zones I am open to running two separate groups through the course so long as two persons are enrolled in each
Dates and times will be confirmed once group/s are formed
Particpants will be required to train consistently with me in open studio at least twice per week, and ideally observe an hour each week also. To this end I will also return to recording an open studio session each week so particpants can watch in their own time
If you foresee issues that would interrupt your commitment to the program it is advisable to wait until a future intake. Similarly you can not undertake only part or the program but must be enrolled for its entirety
Cost
The total cost for the program is AUD $9600, paid in $200 installments on the date of each of the 48 events. Previous graduates can resit the program for half price, but must sign up for its entirety to ensure the group establishes a great working relationship.
