What is the LEAP?

The Learning Education Advancement Program (LEAP) is an 11-day continuing education program designed for experienced Pilates teachers who want to take the next step in their teaching journey.

The program is divided into two 5-day in-person modules, followed by a final online collection day dedicated to reviewing exercises, answering questions, and deepening your understanding. This online day takes place approximately two months after completing the in-person modules.

During LEAP, you will:
• Explore in depth the exercises in the “Second Manual”
• Learn the complete syllabus of the Pilates Method
• Discover and practice several archival exercises rarely taught elsewhere

Why LEAP?

LEAP is created for certified teachers who:
• Have at least 3 years of teaching experience
• Have completed a Comprehensive or Studio certification
• Are looking for a challenge, professional growth, and a deeper understanding of:
– The history of Joseph Pilates
– The classical apparatus and exercises
– Applied anatomy and movement principles

This is your opportunity to dig deeper, expand your skills, and reconnect with your passion for teaching.

The program is led by Petra Karlsson and Tony Rockoff, who bring years of teaching and mentoring experience to guide you through an intensive and inspiring learning journey.
