I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in joining the Pilates Industry. Seeing them comment in the Breathe Instructor FB groups was a real 'aha' moment for me, as I now see why they are the ones I want to go and work out with/learn from in my personal practice. It actually made it a lot easier to get the hours in that were needed for this part of the course (and I am super excited about all the new pilates friends I have made around the country) I didn't realise until I started this course, how many of my favourite instructors were also Breathe trained.
I live in WA and worked out with others doing their breathe training in WA, SA, VIC & NZ. Having practice teaching sessions available on zoom was invaluable. Zoom was fabulous and the explanations by all trainers, was very thorough. Initially I was worried about the online format, as I am a very visual/hands on learner. I have just completed my Cert IV Pilates Matwork & Reformer training with Breathe Education. You can follow Sarah on Facebook and Twitter can purchase the Elvie Kegel Trainer here And, when to cue pelvic floor and when not to mention it!
Towards the end of the interview Sarah gives in-depth instructions on how to do a pelvic floor contraction, and how to cue one.
We talk about diastasis recti abdominis or abdominal separation, and finally we spend quite a bit of time on Sarah’s favourite topic, urinary incontinence, on which she has recently published a book. Sarah and I talk about pregnancy and exercise, what you should and shouldn’t do with a pregnant client, pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, and what you as a group exercise instructor can do for your clients with pelvic girdle pain. In 2009 Sarah was awarded the Certificate of Achievement in Pelvic Physical Therapy (CAPP) from the Section on Women’s Health, and Board Certification as a specialist in women’s health (WCS).
She went on to get a Masters of Science in Women’s Health and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Rosalind Franklin University in 2008. Sarah graduated from Marquette University in 2002 with a Master’s of Physical Therapy. Sarah is a women’s health physiotherapist, and co-owner of Entropy Physiotherapy and Wellness in Chicago, Illinois.
