VANCOUVER: Chair Intensive
The Fletcher Pilates® Chair Intensive provides education in the use of the Wunda Chair or Combo Chair for teachers and movement professionals. Participants gain a clear understanding of the Fletcher Pilates® Chair syllabus, including the purpose, structure, and application of each exercise. Emphasis is placed on strength, balance, control, and dynamic stability, as well as the organization of movement in an upright orientation.
This Intensive supports the development of technical skill and a thoughtful approach to teaching Chair work in both private sessions and group settings. Participants explore sequencing, transitions, and appropriate progressions to support a wide range of bodies and levels of experience, all within a lineage-based framework.
The Chair Intensive is appropriate for those pursuing teacher training on the Pilates Chair Apparatus and further study within the Program of Study, as well as for professionals seeking continuing education to deepen their understanding of strength-based movement and refine their practice.
The Fletcher Pilates® Chair Intensive includes over 100 hours of focused study. The curriculum covers Level I and II work on the Wunda Chair, with an emphasis on the rhythm, continuity, and expressive clarity that distinguish the Fletcher approach.
Participants also receive access to the Fletcher Foundations Course for continued study, which explores four essential pillars—Movement, Anatomy, Teaching, and History. This material provides important context and supports a deeper, more informed understanding of the work within the Fletcher Pilates® lineage.
