Pilates Training - The Pilates Standard

Our goal is to respect the authentic method of Joseph Pilates. For all our training programs we stay close to the original method, analysing and conveying its fundamental aspects.

All training programs and workshops of THE PILATES STANDARD are developed by BOB LIEKENS, a second generation teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Bob started in 1983 as a student of Romana Kryzanowska and after a few years he began teaching as one of her trainers. Later, as co-writer, he had the opportunity to write the first teacher training manual together with Romana at her kitchen table. He has devoted his life to passing on the work of Uncle Joe and Romana and over the past decade has inspired thousands of Pilates teachers and teacher trainers around the world, while remaining faithful to the classical method.

By teaching the original method, supported by the biomechanical principles of the human body, the teachers we certify have a solid knowledge of the Pilates method and know how to make progress with their students in an effective way.

Our curriculum covers the classical Pilates exercises on both the Mat and the Apparatus, anatomical and biomechanical knowledge, and we also address the approach to various symptoms and conditions.
