Corso di Aggiornamento 2024

This year Corso di Aggiornamento - "Al cuore del Pilates" - will be presented by the world renowned master teacher Ilaria Cavagna

Ilaria has moved seamlessly from being an athlete, to a performer, to a practitioner of the disciplines she believes in and trains her clients with. The Bachelor of Movement Science achieved in Italy in 1997, the Pilates Certification and the recent and innovative SOMA-TRAINING studies give her an understanding of both the beauty and function of the human body when properly trained. She strongly believes in the combination of strength and stretch which provides the body with progressive lifetime improvement. All these disciplines have in common the work on posture which is key for healthy and injury-free bodies! 

Ilaria is also found of Feet-ness™ a full body workout which builds a better posture from the ground up.

This course, titled "Al cuore del Pilates", which means, in Italian, "at the heart of Pilates" will be held in two live sessions focusing on the following topics:

1. how to build a well structured Pilates class able to achieve the goal of each single Client;

2. how to approach the work on the core in the most organic and effective way.

Spanning from the origin of Pilates, through the contemporary movement sciences, Ilaria will deliver an immersive adventure to the heart of Pilates.

The Corso di Aggiornamento 2024 is part of the CovaTech® Continuing Education program and it is reserved to the CovaTech® Pilates® Teachers worldwide.
