Pilates Teacher Training at Bodylight studio

Bodylight^® Teacher Training school had its first course in 2004 with now many certified teachers teaching in various Pilates and Yoga studios all over Auckland and NZ.

If you are thinking about a career in the holistic health and wellness industry or simply wanting to expand your knowledge of the working of the body so you can help yourself and your family maintain a strong and healthy mind-body connection, enquire with us about our courses.

The unique Bodylight^® method draws from the wisdoms of ancient Yoga and Qi-gong, mixed with the modern Pilates approach to offer a whole mind-body education system.
Pilates education, Anatomy, Yoga - asana, nidra and pranayama, Qi-gong practice, and manual therapies taught in a deep, thorough and practical way.

Small class numbers allow for a full immersion and understanding of the techniques with strong hands-on approach, teaching skills and many practice hours at the fully equipped Bodylight^® studio.

 

How is the Bodylight^® method different from other Yoga, Pilates training courses? 

This is the original and first nz mindful movement training course which weaves together yoga, Pilates, Qigong and mindfulness training. The training focus on the understanding of the many similarities and possibilities of integration of the different disciplines, rather then the differences.

The course is largely instructed by Edna, the founder of the method so you get the knowledge, the content, mentoring and hands on teachings from the founder directly.

Students in this year's training course will enjoy free participation in weekly classes during the 7 months of their training. The course includes a weekend retreat at Mana retreat centre.

A follow up period of assisting at the Bodylight^® studio to gain real life experience is also offered to students who pass the theory and practical exam.

The Bodylight^® Foundation course is designed for students who have Pilates or Yoga Experience and want to become Bodylight^® instructors or who wish to expand and deepen their knowledge of Mind-body awareness, movement and health.
At the end of the course, students will be able to teach Mat, Small Props and Equipment (studio) classes, at beginner and general level.

The course runs over 7 intensive weekends - one weekend each month, plus an immersive Bodylight weekend retreat 

Students are expected to complete assignments/readings at home/studio throughout the progression of the course.
