Workshops and Masterclasses

Hone your teaching skills and deepen your practice!

Michael & Ton Workshops

Michael and Ton are internationally recognised Pilates teachers, presenters, and innovators whose work has shaped the way Pilates is taught and practiced around the world.

They became the last two people to complete a true apprenticeship of direct mentorship with Romana Kryzanowska, one of Joseph Pilates' protégés.

In 2000, Romana entrusted them with a rare honor—she asked Michael and Ton to become Teachers of Teachers for her original International Pilates Certification Program based out of NYC where they guided, trained and tested hundreds of apprentices.

After years of teaching inside the Romana lineage, Michael and Ton branched out, incorporating the work of many of the other Elders into their practice.

Driven by curiosity, creativity, and a love of movement, Michael and Ton continue to share their knowledge with the same spirit that began their journey—through dedication, innovation, and the belief that Pilates can change lives.

"Joe and the Elders"

Each Pilates Elder carries forward their own experiences and interpretations of Pilates. M & T will compare these and discus why they changed things or why Joe taught them a different version.

"Returning to the Classical work from Injury: A Spiraldynamik® Pathway”

This workshop will focus on common client injuries, specifically "non specific back pain" and “Shoulder Girdle and Rotator Cuff” injures. We’ll “follow" the injury from the first time the client comes to your studio all the way back to the classical work.

The workshop will combine Spiraldynamik (M&T’s movement creation), Classical and non-Classical Pilates work.

These workshops are open to all Comprehensively trained Pilates Teachers and are available to purchase online as a weekend package - €550 for both days workshops.

Master The Magic Circle

The Magic Circle is a Pilates prop that was created to add resistance to your movements. You will learn a specific set of stand alone exercises that Joseph Pilates created with the Circle as well as how to use it to create connections in your Mat workouts.

This workshop is designed for Pilates teachers and trainee teachers. Non teachers tend to also love this workshop as it gives you great ideas for at-home or travel workouts!

You will receive a mini manual to include detailed exercise descriptions of the original Magic Circle exercises. Each Magic Circle variation on the Mat will be listed and pictured. You'll have space for notes on each exercise to create your go-to Magic Circle manual to refer to!

A certificate of attendance will be issued to all teacher participants - please email us to inform us you'll want this.
