Earning It: Pilates Mat Cert PART 2

So, I went back to Pilates Chicago and completed the 2nd part of the 2nd Pilates Mat Module. This 2nd Module was done in 2 different weekends. The exercises were split into 2 groups: beginner/intermediate and intermediate/advanced. And the first weekend we were taught the beginner/intermediate exercises and the last weekend we learned the intermediate/advanced exercises. These were all (almost all) straight from Joe Pilates book "Return To Life", which was required reading. We were sent home with an assignment to do 20 hours of practicing pilates at home, 10 of taking pilates at a gym, and 25 hours of practice teaching pilates. The test for certification had 3 parts; teaching a student one on one for 30 minutes, teaching in a group setting and a written test that included anatomy and more. After a lot of hard work and help from many great people I was able to complete all my hours and felt prepared to take the test.
