Continuing Education & Professional Development
At The Pilates Standard, certification is not the end of the journey—it is the beginning.
The most accomplished Pilates teachers never stop learning. Continuing education is an essential part of preserving the depth, integrity, and effectiveness of the Classical Pilates Method. As teachers grow in knowledge, observation, and experience, they become better equipped to inspire and support their clients.
Our workshops and continuing education programs are rooted in the educational legacy of Bob Liekens—one of the most respected teachers and educators in the Pilates industry.
Bob was more than an exceptional teacher. He possessed a rare ability to understand movement, organize knowledge, communicate complexity with clarity, and guide teachers toward a deeper understanding of the method. His precision, intelligence, humor, and systematic approach to education continue to influence everything we do at TPS.
Our workshops are designed to carry that legacy forward. Rather than simply presenting information, they offer structured learning pathways that encourage critical thinking, practical application, and meaningful professional growth.
Through continuing education, teachers refine their skills, deepen their understanding of the Classical Pilates Method, and become part of a culture that values excellence, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
Because only when we continue to grow ourselves can we truly inspire growth in others.
E-Learning Workshops
Learn at your own pace, whenever and wherever it suits you.
Our E-Learning Workshops combine expert instruction with a simple certification process. Watch the workshop video, then complete a short assessment consisting of 10 questions based on the workshop content.
To successfully complete the workshop, you must achieve a minimum score of 70%. Once you have passed the assessment, your certificate will automatically be sent to your email.
A flexible and convenient way to continue your professional development—on your own schedule.
