Continuing Education Small Groups allow graduates to deepen their understanding of the Pilates Method by reconnecting with program material and applying concepts to real world experiences.

Continuing Education

Training program graduates are encouraged to join a DPTP Leadership Team member for a weekly class with fellow instructors and movement professionals. Continuing Ed Small Groups follow along with the training program, reviewing and embodying the material, and deepening core theory concepts.
