What’s included in Kinesia Pilates Prep Program?

Kinesia Pilates Seattle is proud to host Romana’s Pilates International Instructor Training Program (RPI ITP).

To join RPI ITP you need to pass an entrance assessment demonstrating strong skills and knowledge of Romana’s Pilates. These skills are NOT taught in the teacher training program, it is expected that you already have them before you start.

Our private preparatory training is for those who are pursuing professional certification with RPI ITP. Once you are accepted in RPI ITP you will work with teacher trainers at Kinesia Pilates throughout your apprenticeship.

Kinesia Pilates preparatory program is designed to give you the skills that meet the expectations for acceptance into RPI ITP. This program is entirely focused on your personal practice in learning the exercises, techniques, and building your Powerhouse. You will learn the teaching skills in seminars with Master Teacher Trainers after you are accepted into RPI ITP.  

 

  • This is personalized training to prepare you for the skill assessment to join RPI ITP. You can start whenever you are ready. We will form your training plan based on when you want to schedule your assessment.

  • How long it takes depends on your current skill level and how often you can practice in the studio.

    To pass your entrance assessment to RPI ITP you need a personal practice at the high intermediate to advanced level. You should be confident on the Reformer and Mat, and all the various apparatus.

  • You can have any level of experience but you must be ready to commit to an intensive training practice.

    We recommend practice in the studio a minimum of 4x per week in a combination of private lessons, group classes, and “open-gym” self-led practice.
