Initial Assessment »
The initial assessment is the first step on the rewarding journey of becoming a Romana’s Pilates Instructor. We recognize that each candidate comes to us with various levels of experience and knowledge in the method and so we assist each applicant to prepare for the assessment and enrollment according to their specific needs.
During the assessment, candidates are expected to demonstrate proficiency at the intermediate level on key pieces of apparatus and show a basic understanding of the principles of Pilates. Enrollment to the program is open to applicants who have been formally assessed and cleared by an authorized instructor.
Certification Stages 1, 2 and 3 »
The Program is structured as 3 stages – Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. Each student must accomplish the activities within each stage before progressing to the next level. Following completion of all three levels, newly certified Instructors are presented a Certificate of Achievement signed by Romana Kryzanowska’s daughter and level 1 instructor, Sari Meija Santo.
