What is Romana’s Pilates Teacher Training?

Kinesia Pilates Seattle is proud to host Romana’s Pilates International Instructor Training Program (RPI ITP) for professional certification.

To join RPI ITP you need to pass an entrance assessment demonstrating strong skills and knowledge of Romana’s Pilates. These skills are NOT taught in the teacher training program, it is expected that you already have them before you start.

Start your professional training journey with personalized preparatory training with teacher trainers. Once you are accepted in RPI ITP you will continue to work with teacher trainers at Kinesia Pilates throughout your apprenticeship.

 

  • You need to pass an entrance assessment demonstrating strong skills and knowledge of Romana’s Pilates. These skills are NOT taught in the teacher training program, it is expected that you already have them before you start.

    After you are in the program you will attend 3 seminars either at Kinesia Pilates or another host studio in LA, Fort Lauderdale, or NYC.

  • You can start at any time. There are seminars scheduled at various training centers throughout the year. We will offer training in Seattle or recommend alternative locations based on your timeline.

  • Romana’s Pilates teacher trainer is a personalized apprenticeship in the comprehensive classical Pilates system on all the apparatus and the mat.

    It takes 12-18 months to complete the training. You need 800 hours at 40-60 hours per week in the studio with teacher trainers.

    There are 3 seminars; Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. At each level you will take a practical teaching test with a senior or master teacher trainer.

    At the Intermediate and Advanced levels you will also take written “knowledge” tests, these are not multiple choice questions but designed to test your memory and comprehension of the work.

  • This is personalized training to prepare you for the skill assessment to join RPI ITP. You can start whenever you are ready. We will form your training plan based on when you want to schedule your assessment.

  • How long it takes depends on your current skill level and how often you can practice in the studio.

    To pass your entrance assessment to RPI ITP you need a personal practice at the high intermediate to advanced level. You should be confident on the Reformer and Mat, and all the various apparatus.

  • You can have any level of experience but you must be ready to commit to an intensive training practice.

    We recommend practice in the studio a minimum of 4x per week in a combination of private lessons, group classes, and “open-gym” self-led practice.
