Comprehensive REAL Pilates Teacher Training Program at Flex Studio
If you are searching for the perfect time and place to pursue your continuing Pilates education, you’ve found it!
Teacher Training
Flex is proud to announce its affiliation with REAL Pilates in New York as a Host Site for Teacher Training. REAL Pilates honours the legacy of Romana Kryzanowska and training is rooted in the authentic Classical method, as learned by Alycea Ungaro.
Next Cycle Starts March 2021!
Why Train Classical?
The life’s work of Joseph Pilates cannot be fast tracked, and the responsibility we all share in promoting and preserving his legacy is profound. As a graduate of Real Pilates Teacher Training (RPTT), you will become a part of this legacy.
“The teacher training pushed me out of my comfort zone, as I was expected to start teaching from day one. I have always been a shy person who is reluctant to come under the spotlight unless it’s absolutely necessary. Beyond my expectations, the programme helped me conquer my biggest fear through the weekly and teaching hour requirements. With the guidance and mentorship from both RPTT and Flex team, I found my teaching voice and confidence. Also, the programme brought my own Pilates practice to the next level and I am happy to see the positive changes in my body.”

SEMINAR SCHEDULE
We have confirmed with Real Pilates in New York that the next training cycle is confirmed to start in February 2021. Assuming the first Beginner seminar will be digital, the dates and proposed times are 22-26 February 2021 6:00-9:30PM. Thereafter, the proposed seminar dates are:
| Intermediate I | April 5-9, 2021 |
| Intermediate II | Week of May 3, 2021 |
| Advanced | Week of June 21, 2021 |
Each seminar is typically 18 hours, 6 hours per day over 3 days.
Hopefully by the spring travel will resume, and we’ll have an Educator from the States come to Hong Kong to lead the seminar in person, but we will have to wait and see how events unfold. If you have not done so already, please complete the program application online or reach out to Heather Thomas Shalabi with any questions.
