Pilates Teacher Training - The Pilates Standard

Our aim is to respect Joseph Pilates' authentic method. In all our training programmes, we stay close to the original method, analysing and conveying its fundamental aspects.

All THE PILATES STANDARD training courses and workshops were developed by BOB LIEKENS, a second-generation teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Bob started in 1983 as a student of Romana Kryzanosvska and, after a few years, began teaching as one of her trainers. He then had the opportunity to co-write the first trainers' manual with Romana at her kitchen table. He dedicated his life to passing on the work of Uncle Joe and Romana and, over the past decade, inspired thousands of Pilates trainers and teacher trainers around the world while remaining true to the classical method.

By teaching the original method, which is supported by the biomechanical principles of the human body, we ensure that the trainers we train have a sound knowledge of the Pilates Method and know how to achieve progress effectively with their students.

Our curriculum covers the classical Pilates exercises on both the Mat and the Apparatus, anatomical and biomechanical knowledge, and also approaches to various symptoms and illnesses
