Welcome to Pivotal

Kane School and kinected profile





Directed by Kelly Kane and Matt McCulloch, the Kane School Pilates certification is a rigorous training program combining the classic principles of Pilates with a modern, clinical perspective on the body. The program crafts advanced teachers with x-ray vision-teachers with solid knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and injuries as well as the skills to perceive and improve them. Graduates work in variety of settings across the fitness, wellness, and medical worlds. The full training includes Foundation Training (Core Muscle Anatomy), Comprehensive Mat, and Basic Training equipment certifications



Step 1



FOUNDATION TRAINING





Lay the groundwork for learning the Pilates discipline with a comprehensive anatomy foundation. All Pilates certification students must complete Core Muscle Anatomy, or test out with a passing grade on the Kane School Anatomy entrance exam.



COMPREHENSIVE MAT





Get to know the Kane School Core Principles how they apply to the Pilates method. This in-depth course shapes advanced instructors with a mastery of Pilates mat exercises as well as the knowledge to address biomechanics and postural issues in private and group settings. Includes lecture, self-study and assistant-teaching hours.



Step 2



Basic TRAINING & PHASE II





Gain a comprehensive Pilates equipment education. Learn choreography on the Pilates apparatus - reformer, chair, cadillac, and barrels - and how to apply Core Principles to equipment sessions. Interwoven through the training is the story of the moving body-its anatomy and biomechanics as well as its common postural problems and injuries.

“My time at the Kane School has been full of personal and professional growth. The thoughtfully-scaffolded structure of the Basic Training program allowed me to repeatedly circle back to ideas, each time with a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the material.”



Ellyn Sjoquist, Kane School Student - 2017



“I love studying at The Kane School because I’m continually learning about the human anatomy and how it connects to everyday moving, classical, and contemporary Pilates. The teachers are super encouraging and always willing to share their knowledge and expertise!”



Victor Lozano, Kane School Student - 2017
