The BodyTree Academy Difference.

 BodyTree Academy’s Comprehensive Teacher graduates are well sought after in the region.

BodyTree Academy believes in teaching excellently and we want to help you help others move well and with ease.

The heart of the Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Program is in its client-centric approach. You will learn to teaching the bodies (clients) presented, as opposed to mindlessly applying a fixed sequence of exercises to any client.

Starting from the Pilates Matwork Teacher Certification, the focus is on the process of:

– assessing your client when they are moving
– making critical judgements about their strengths, challenges and imbalances
– deciding what your client needs
– understanding which pieces on which Pilates apparatus is the most relevant to your client at every stage of his/her practice
– understanding the intention of each Pilates movement on each apparatus so that the benefits of the exercise can be experienced by the client through relevant verbal and tactile cues
– managing client’s expectations and goal setting

Being comprehensive certified by BodyTree Academy means:

1. You have completed all Prehab Trainer Modules (which are the pre-requisites)

2. You have completed and passed the Pilates Matwork Teacher Training Certification

3. You have completed all BTA Apparatus Training: Spine Corrector Teacher Certification, Reformer Teacher Certification and Studio Teacher Certification

4. Passed your Comprehensive Program Evaluation

After completion of the program, you can apply to National Pilates Certification Program (US) or Pilates Alliance (AU).

Blog: Knowing when to strengthen and when to release/ stretch

What will you do if your client comes up to you and say this exercise/ movement feels uncomfortable? Or what will you do if your client gets the movement concept but just can’t do the movement well despite trying multiple cues? And what will you do if your client just feel hamstrings and can’t get the glutes working although you have worked through various glutes exercises and movement tweaks? Do you try to work on it or do you avoid it entirely?

“ … I very much enjoyed it. I’ve always been interested in Pilates ever since taking the Reformer classes with Pilates BodyTree® many years back. When I heard about this training, I jumped into it. And also knowing that Daniel was leading the training, his expertise and experience, are something that money doesn’t necessarily buy. So it is a program that I have no regrets taking. I currently teach Reformer classes with Virgin Active. Daniel with his experience and skilled eyes, has also not just imparted his knowledge to teach exercises but also as an instructor, how to look out for students and how to program our classes better, or at least to know how to brainstorm our classes in terms of structure, how to troubleshoot in situations where you have many students to teach, how we can break things down so they can understand the exercises better through certain preparatory work …”

“Very lucky to be part of the trainee for this course. Daniel’s is a great teacher. I totally feel the new body of myself after the course. That’s important how we feel, in order for the members feel what we need them to feel!”

Initially I was contemplating to attend another Reformer course on top of my STOTT Pilates Reformer certification but Roz encouraged me to join. Well, I never regret the decision. I did learn a lot to enhance my teaching skills, on top of what I have learnt before. Not only it helps in my teaching, it helps with my own practise as well. The movement anatomy part was pretty helpful and I love the part where we are taught to prep for our joints before working on the exercises. It was made easy to understand. I love teaching Pilates as I can help to create more body awareness to allow people to move better. It is not just exercise repertoire but understanding more on different body types to help them move better. I really enjoyed the whole process and the course. Daniel is always open in sharing his knowledge and experiences in teaching. Thanks to Roz for bringing in the program and to everyone in BodyTree Academy for being so friendly and helpful.

I started private sessions with Jane at Pilates Body Tree because I wanted to enhance my training as a ballet dancer. Prior to returning back to Singapore, I was training in New Zealand and introduced Pilates there. Hence, I knew that I had to continue Pilates once I returned. Jane has been my mentor for over a year and I am very grateful to have her as my teacher. Whilst I was training to be a dancer, she was able to understand and help with what my body needed. She knows how to push me to my potential and help me to improve on my weaknesses. I always enjoy my lessons with her. She is very encouraging and nurturing. Jane is someone who is passionate and committed to what she does and anyone who attends her classes is in good hands. Many of the students at PBT enjoy her lessons because she knows when to push and not to overstrain our bodies. Her classes are fun yet challenging. Never over strenuous but yet you feel worked. This is something I really admire and aspire to learn from Jane. Now that I am in the process of training to be a fully certified Pilates instructor, I continuously look to Jane for help and advice. She is always willing to share and help me in whatever way she can. I am thankful and glad to have her guide me in my Pilates teacher journey.

I am a yoga instructor who was pursuing a Pilates course, and Jane was one of my Pilates Matwork TT course teachers. During the course, and my time of training with her. I found Jane to be very passionate, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. She made some key explanations on the differences between the two sports that help me clarify my concepts between yoga and Pilates. Her precise instructions guided me on how to become a good Pilates teacher. She shares her experiences with her all her students and how she deals and manages with her own injuries. An old injury on my right ACL and LCL, was always present but her expertise and guidance lead to safe and productive training. I’m always thankful for her advice and insight to make my injuries recover faster. I went through an intensive course with BodyTree Academy® and without Jane, I won’t be here where I am at the moment. As an instructor, I aspire to be like her one day in the future. I would strongly recommend for those who choose to study with BodyTree without a doubt.

Priscilla 是我垫上皮拉提斯的指导老师。当我在准备第一次教课内容时，自己重复练习后还是有些问题，Priscilla很有耐心的帮我调整并和我说为什么这样调整！教完我的第一堂课后，有更多的问题想要请教指导老师，她也总是试着了解我的问题从何而来，并教我如何帮助客户在运动上能更进一步和运用正确的肌肉在发力！我喜欢她无私的跟我分享如何利用和为什么有时需要用手引导的方式去教学！每次有问题请教她，总是不厌其烦的和我分享也让我每次学到新的东西，又或者激发我从不同角度去教！她是个很棒的指导老师，总会鼓励我多试多练去找到自己的教学风格！非常感谢妳Priscilla!
