What is the Michael King method of teaching Pilates?
Besides learning the original goals and traditional exercises of Joseph Pilates’ work, the Michael King method draws on up to date anatomical and physiological research and applies it to the Pilates technique. MK have been delivering Pilates teacher training since 1995. Our courses were among the very first Pilates teacher training in the UK and became the basis for the OCR UK Pilates Mat Teacher qualification. MK has now taken the Pilates Teacher Diploma to new levels. The name of Michael King is recognised around the world and we provide an internationally recognised qualification which greatly exceeds the current basic UK level 3 standards. We specialise in enabling the participants in our classes to achieve great results from Pilates.

MK Matwork Teacher Certificate
You will have 96 hours of face to face tutor time when you study for the Matwork Certificate, typically we work together at weekends over a period of 6 months. Home study hours will be 125 hours minimum, including personal practice. You are able to complete the home assignments at your own pace, in your own time. Patricia is on hand to help if you need it. We expect that you will take a further 3 months to fully complete the assignments and be confident to teach your exam class, but that can vary according to your commitments. Some students take longer, it depends on you and your own learning style. Group teaching practice is arranged ad hoc, whenever you or the tutor feel the time is right. Once we have completed the course, you will have one year to complete and submit your course materials and videos for assessment.
On the course you will study the traditional classical exercises and learn how to adapt and modify to ‘best fit’ the needs of the individual client or group class participants. MK classes have a typical ‘flow’ which our clients love , making the class feel like a smooth transition from one exercise to the next.
The course price is £2550, inclusive of all teaching materials and manuals.
