PilatesEVO Introduction

Since its birth, the Pilates method has been modified and arguably made more effective by some distinguished presenters, but diluted and the basic principles largely ignored by less scrupulous teachers. Also, there are so many commercially orientated systems on the market today that tell teachers exactly what to do and when to do it, because they do not trust them to think for themselves. Welcome to a breath of fresh air; welcome to the world of PilatesEVO©.

Pilates EVO© (EVO is an abbreviation of evolution) is like no other Pilates system. Developed by Chris Hunt in London and Barcelona, it takes Pilates in a new and exciting direction by:

• Incorporating more functional training methods and movement patterns
• Using NLP techniques to engage clients and improve teaching methods
• Using kundalini movements for flow
• Incorporating meridian lines
• Expanding the mind and body connection using mindfulness meditation to maximise the psychological and physical benefits, improving concentration and making clients emotionally, mentally and spiritually fitter
• Using sequences of movements made up from sacred numbers
• Using a unique soundtrack mixed in London

PilatesEVO© is a complete system in itself, but crucially all the ideas it teaches can also be used to enhance the teaching of any other Pilates method and any other Pilates class. The training includes how to deliver a Pilates class by using NLP nethods to make better teachers who understand their clients more. Connecting with clients on the right levels and in the right ways not only helps to retain them, but it will also ensure that their progress far exceeds training where there is no such connection.

PilatesEVO© is the only system in the world that allows its teachers to create their own exercise combinations, that if approved by Chris Hunt can then be introduced to the system worldwide. That is a massive change when compared to all other systems which basically tell the teachers exactly what to do and say. PilatesEVO© does not just tell its teachers what to do and when to do it as if they were robots; it actively encourages them to bring their own personality and ideas to the system and to thus create their own Universe. What other systems allows such freedom? What other systems have such trust in their teachers?

Pilates EVO© is a system that will remain challenging to a wide range of training goals from elite athletes, people seeking everyday fitness, to clients rehabilitating following accident or injury. The mind and body are inextricably linked; we cannot progress one without the other. PilatesEVO© is more than an exercise system, it is a way of life, a way to maximise potential physically, mentally and emotionally.
