Paola Paingatelli

In my personal experience, the Pilates Unlimited- Mat Course was exactly the kind of course I was actually looking for!!! Not just an insight in the Pilates method principles and repertoire but a strong focus on ANATOMY applied to MOVEMENT, and that I think was the key that opened the door to understanding! Being able to assess how people’s muscles, joints, chain reactions work when they move- allowed me to see the bigger picture (what the goals are and how they can be achieved, what needs to be strengthened and/or stretched, client’s awareness, what needs to be avoided to prevent injury….). For the first time, I was able to design an exercise program appropriate to a particular person. I could start thinking out of the box, making links, and it all finally started to make sense! As regards the course per se, everything was amazing and I had lots of fun! Interesting theory and practice, great atmosphere, good vibes! Teachers extremely knowledgeable, as well as willing to assist us all the way from start to end! The course provides all the tools and resources necessary for the learning process, but it is important for us, students- to be aware that professional training requires effort and a lot of self-commitment from our side to keep it going: a lot of studying, observation, exercise, teaching hours, and in my opinion, going over and over it to get the wanted results. The good news: all that work is totally worth it! I enjoyed it then and I’m still loving it and more passionate than before!!!! A big thanks to Tanya for facilitating the course and her teachings live and online. Highly recommended!"

I graduated as a physiotherapist from the University of Cape Town in 2011 and have since    worked in government as well as private practice. I also completed my post-graduate   diploma in Orthopaedic and Manipulative Therapy (OMT1) in Johannesburg last year,   specialising in neuromuscularskeletal Physiotherapy.   I have had the privilege of knowing Tanya for many years, both as a Pilates client of hers   as well as completing my mat course and now, two years later, currently completing my   equipment course. Her passion for what she does is incredible and drives her clients and   herself to continue to excel.   The knowledge I have gained during the courses has been exceptional, with sound   anatomical basis as well as constant practical advice and applications. I believe her   anatomical knowledge to be of a higher standard to that which I learnt during my medical   studies. Her passion for learning as well as her desire to impart this knowledge is truly admirable.   I believe that she values the opinion of all in the multidisciplinary team   (including all medical professionals) and will use these resources in the best interest   of the client. This interactive approach has made her studio highly regarded in the province   and country. Pilates as a whole and her associated input into my professional life has greatly enriched my skills as a physiotherapist and as a rehabilitative professional. I believe Pilates-based exercises to be of paramount importance these days in any musculoskeletal injury or condition.   I have no doubt that her knowledge and input into your community will be of   unparalleled value and that you will be witnessing one of the great minds in   the field of movement and exercise.

Coming from a group fitness training background, it is extremely important that you evaluate and get a good sense of the person who will be joining your sessions. This can help you prevent injuries and provide a specialized approach to each person you deal with.  This course has helped me find an effective approach to discovering the goals of each client, discovering areas of weakness and giving them a great first impression with you as an instructor.  I highly recommend that every person involved in the fitness industry goes through this course to improve the way they evaluate clients and create a first impression.
