LETTER FROM LOLITA SAN MIGUEL
I call my Teacher Training Program Lolita’s Legacy™ because I am very conscious of the marvelous legacy I received from Joseph Pilates as well as from other wonderful teachers, and I have finally designed a Teacher Training Program that embodies this legacy and my more than 58 years of professional experience in the movement of the human body. In Lolita’s Legacy™ my goal is to provide superior Pilates instruction and thus produce excellent Pilates teachers. For that reason my program is unique. Only Pilates professionals whom I have personally trained for two years in my Mentor Program—a minimum of 160 hours directly with me—will be qualified to teach my Teacher Training Program.
The Course is Comprehensive and covers historical and contemporary exercise on Mat, Reformer, Cadillac/Trapeze Table, Chair, Barrels and Auxiliary equipment in addition to history, philosophy and teaching protocols; the course is enhanced by an Anatomy Manual by Dr. Aaron Spector, written for Lolita’s Legacy™. The four parts of the course are: Introduction and Mat plus Systems I, II and III that cover Pilates Apparatus and Auxiliary equipment.
Program Details:
According to Ms. San Miguel, Mat is the basis for the Pilates Method. The Lolita’s Legacy™ Mat system is enhanced by the following course materials:
Kinematics of Movement Anatomy Manual, created especially for the program by Dr. Aaron Spector.
Introduction and Overview of the Pilates Method, which deals with the history of the creators of the Method and the “elders”.
The Philosophy and Principles of Joseph Pilates and Ms. San Miguel.
The Fundamentals, benefits and values of practicing the Pilates Method.
A DVD of Ms. San Miguel’s workshop on the History of Pilates recorded for Pilates Anytime which includes a month free membership to Pilates Anytime.
Two DVDs on Mat performed by Ms. San Miguel.
These materials accompany the Lolita’s Legacy™ Mat System Teacher Training Manual.

This Module teaches the historic order, contemporary movements, as well as Pre-Pilates, and post Pilates movements that will prepare and condition your body to work on the floor using only your own body weight as resistance. Although traditionally the Mat work was designed by Joseph Pilates as the accomplishment of his technique, Lolita developed and integrated further movements into the the traditional work to enable your body to perform at its best ability.
