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™.
