Understanding the difference: Workshops vs. professional development
Workshops focus on practical, hands-on training in Pilates and mind-body movement. Open to all without prerequisites, these workshops help refine teaching techniques with skills that can be immediately applied in classes.
Professional Development Courses offer a broader scope for Pilates instructors, movement, and health professionals looking to stay competitive and lead in mind-body exercise trends. These courses, also without prerequisites, provide a deeper, more theoretical exploration of advanced techniques, anatomy, injuries, and business skills. Participants gain the flexibility to implement this knowledge in ways tailored to their career goals.
Workshops offer direct, applied learning, Professional Development Courses provide comprehensive, advanced education while both offer valuable networking opportunities, supporting professionals in their ongoing growth and specialization.
Upon successful completion, of a Professional Development course participants receive a letter of completion, a certificate of participation along with STOTT PILATES® Continuing Education Credits (CECs), highlighting their dedication to advancing expertise in mind-body fitness.
