Introduction to Lolita's Legacy
Welcome to Lolita's Legacy, conveniently we offer our program in 6 different languages and 18 different countries. Our program is internationally recognized, so you can teach Pilates in any country throughout the world. Here, our educators understand the history of the method, how the method has evolved, and know where it is going, every educator has trained directly with Lolita San Miguel and knows how she wants her mark on the Pilates Industry to be left. As one of the two people who were certified by Joseph Pilates, Lolita holds a special honor to the way Joe started his method, understanding he truly was 50 years ahead of his time. Through the course of her life there were scientific discoveries about proper spinal health and Lolita wanted to incorporate those findings in with the original way the method began. In this teacher training program you will learn the history of the Method, both historical and contemporary exercises, as well as variations, modifications, and contraindications of each exercise. Our mission is to impart comprehensive Pilates education and to prepare graduates for the highest standards of professional competence in the practice of Pilates.

We understand that in today's environment there are so many styles of Pilates, we wanted to create an education program that gives an understanding on every aspect so they can educate others properly.
