Pilates Cadillac

2-day weekend course

The Cadillac or Trapeze Table is the most spectacular-looking machine in the Pilates studio series. This machine introduces hanging elements, springs, bars and inversions into Pilates training with your clients or groups.

This teacher education is geared towards Pilates teachers who wish to teach individuals or small groups of clients or patients on and with the Cadillac. We recommend experience on the machines if at all possible before starting this workshop. The Cadillac is one of the building blocks of the 450-hour comprehensive teacher-training program and one of the “Studio Series” machines. PILATESwiss® is a comprehensive and internationally recognized teacher-training program. Course materials, assessments and language of instruction are completely bilingual in English or German.
