Jennifer Kries - Pilates Method Master Trainer DVDs

Friday June 26, 2009
Jennifer KriesJennifer Kries' Master Trainer DVD series is the first Pilates teacher training DVD set that I have seen. There are others, I just haven't seen them, yet. I want to get my previous experience with DVD teacher training out of the way so you know where I'm coming from. I think that's important because this 5 DVD set is not cheap ($399.00), and many people have written to me since it was first released a few months ago, asking if I think it's worth it. So I can't compare, but from my fresh-eyed perspective, I was impressed with the series.

I like the practical way that Jennifer Kries teaches. This training is not about bones and muscles and movement theory - you get that in your certification programs and this is not meant to be a replacement for Pilates instructor certification. What Kries provides a great review of the classical syllabus sequence and choreography for mat and equipment, combined with excellent cues and teaching tips. I think many of you instructors and serious students will want to know about this training series. Read more in my detailed review: Kries - Pilates Method Master Trainer DVDs.

Jennifer Kries has previously published many Pilates workout DVDs. For those of you not looking for teacher training just yet, you might want to read my review of Jennifer Kries' DVD, New Body! Pilates, level 1 or compare prices on Jennifer Kries DVDs.
