The Flo Pilates Approach
Teaching Classical and Clinical Pilates requires two distinct methodologies: Classical Pilates focuses on preserving the original sequence, strict lineage, and traditional apparatus set by Joseph Pilates, while Clinical Pilates is an injury-rehab approach using modern biomechanics.
Classical Pilates Teaching Approach
Original Repertoire: Teachers adhere closely to the exact sequencing of the 34 traditional mat exercises and specific apparatus work like the Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda Chair.
Lineage and Flow: Instruction emphasizes rhythmic transitions, breath, and moving the body through a full, dynamic range of motion.
System Mastery: Progression follows a strict structured order from beginner to advanced systems without altering the blueprint.
Clinical Pilates Teaching Approach
Medical Assessment: Sessions are supervised or led by a trained Occupational Therapist who evaluate specific physical limitations, pain points, and healing needs.
Modified Biomechanics: Traditional exercises are heavily adjusted or broken down using modern science and physical therapy research.
Individualized Rehab: Focus centres heavily on stabilizing specific joints, retraining deep core muscles, and preventing future injuries rather than keeping a fixed class order.
