Continuing Education

Continuing Education is offered year round by Dorothee VandeWalle. Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced workshops are each offered two times a year. Guest teacher seminars are offered once a year.

Basic System Workshop

This workshop introduces students to the Pilates philosophy and the techniques of the beginner system. The basic exercises are the foundation of a good Pilates practice. Clients can only progress and grow in their practice if their foundation is strong. This workshop is a good refresher course for Pilates teachers who want to be more precise and meticulous in their teaching and give their beginner clients a strong foundation for a lifetime of Pilates.
