This is a physically demanding, experiential-based program designed to get Contrology into your body and mind. As Jay Grimes says, we don't really "teach" Pilates; rather, we are guides to help others discover. We cannot guide others to places we haven't been. 

While the workshops and apprentice meetings have specific schedules, the other components are self-scheduled and will require focus and consistency to successfully build the strength and skills needed to pass the performance assessments and the eyes and hands needed to pass the teaching assessments. Despite the flexibility in some of the requirements, it is expected that you are in the studio actively 10-15 hours per week, mostly with me, to make satisfactory progress. This is not a self-led independent study but rather an immersive participation in the studio. 

After leaving my first certification program- a "hybrid" curriculum theoretically offering both classical and contemporary study- with more questions than I began with and knowledge that seemed random and sometimes conflicting, I began investigating the classical work more to see if there were answers in Pilates' origins.  And there were. It was all built into the way Joe designed it originally. And in that framework I discovered countless options for me to use my intuition and experience and treat every body I encountered as an individual. 

​

I invite you to join me in studying this often misunderstood approach of the authentic method. At Voltage, dogmatism is out and contrology is in. I train regularly with teachers from both Jay Grimes' and Romana Kryzanowska's lineages to get the fullest view possible of what Joe was thinking and doing. 

​

I founded Voltage in 2017 as Indy's first classical Pilates Studio. I'm not a dancer or an athlete. I'm just a normal person with a history of debilitating pain, and I am humbled to be able to share this work that has changed my life.  

​

With 14 years of Pilates teaching experience, I am excited to offer an apprenticeship based on what I needed when I first certified- a personalized mentorship. Because of the unique nature of this program, I strictly limit how many certificate-seeking apprentices I tale at a time to ensure you are getting everything you need. This is not a casual hobby with fragmented modules or a weekend playdate; this is a professional immersion into a rich practice with 100 years of history. I promise to offer you the same level of commitment I require so we can do this work, our bodies, and our students justice.
