Cadillac, Chair, & Barrels

• You are eligible to apply for the Cadillac, Chairs, & Barrels Certification if you have successfully tested out of the following at least two weeks before the upcoming workshop start date:

  • SPRING. Mat Pilates Certification (including Anatomy Foundations or equivalent)

  • SPRING. Reformer Pilates & Jumpboard Certification

  • If you are Mat and Reformer certified through a different program: SPRING. Bridging Program

• In addition, it is strongly advised that all students participating in our Cadillac, Chair, & Barrels Certification are experienced teachers actively working in the industry and have access to a Cadillac, Chair, and Barrel (e.g., in a studio they are currently teaching at). This ensures your ability to keep pace with the live workshop sessions, which are taught at a faster pace than the Reformer Pilates & Jumpboard Certification, as well as a smooth completion of Self-Study, Observation, and Practice Teaching hours.
