Frederico (Kiko) Figueiredo will be presenting a workshop for Pilates teachers at our Midtown studio in August.

He will teach construction of the intermediate exercises of the mat and reformer using the Authentic System of Contrology as taught by Teacher-of-Teachers, Inelia Garcia.

This 2-day workshop is for teachers who are interested in learning (or reviewing) how to use the deep Pilates system to build the body, mind and spirit in a safe and effective way. This process is the road to transformation in the Pilates Method. It is the secret weapon that exists in the method that Joseph Pilates created. It is beyond exercises, beyond choreography and beyond sequences.

This is the real way to combat pain, bad posture, poor circulation and overall ill health and promote mental and physical well being.

If you are a pilates teacher looking to deepen your own practice and improve your teaching, understand the Authentic System, gain more confidence and serve your clients better, this workshop is for you.

Kiko is the owner of several studios in Portugal and the lead European teacher-trainer in the Authentic System Inelia Garcia. He works directly with Inelia to train the teachers in the Lisbon program as well as assisting her throughout the world with workshops and training programs. Kiko brings a deep perspective to the work. His eye for detail, his precise spotting and his enthusiasm will inspire you and bring your understanding of this amazing method to a new level.
