Sandrine’s Pilates is the Certifying Studio for the PhysicalMind Institute New York in Europe and has done so for the past 20 years. We offer teacher certification programmes in Pilates Matwork, Tye4 and Pilates Equipment. We do not have any bridging courses or different levels courses, you will learn all levels on all apparatus, the classical way, with modification for rehabilitation.
I purposely choose to keep the certification programmes the way they used to be taught and strongly believe that these courses are a way for these new Pilates schools to get instructors paying more money for the same certification.

Sandrine studied drama at les Cours Florent, the best Drama school in Paris and is bringing her competence to teach you:

• How to be confident in front of a class, dealing with nerves and performing under pressure.
• The full Pilates repertoire with modifications for injuries.  The classical and modern repertoire and use of small equipment, whilst utilising knowledge of human anatomy.
• To work on your posture to avoid injuries looking after others.
• How to start or scale your business avoiding common mistakes utilising her 25 years experience in the industry.
• How to run successful classes and how to find your ideal clients.
• How to market yourself and make a living out of Pilates

The PhysicalMind Institute New York, originally called “the Method Pilates” was created by Eve Gentry (who trained with Joseph Himself), Michele Larsson and Joan Breibart. The institute was the first to create an International Certification Programme in 1991.

On an historic note, Eve Gentry was introduced to Joe and Clara’s studio as she was having knee and back issues having been a dancer all her life. After studying with Joe, she began to teach Contrology at his studio from the late 1930s until she moved to New Mexico in 1968. In Sante Fe, New Mexico she established the Institute for the Pilates Method of Conditioning that is when PMI was created. Sandrine completed her training in Sante Fe, New Mexico.

PMIs has developed many patented Pilates exercise tools and accessories such as Tye4®, Parasetter®, MINIS™, SmartSeat™, Head Floater® are the 21st-century versions of the Reformer, Wunda Chair, and Magic Circle. Just like Joseph Pilates, PhysicalMind has created specialized exercise programs such as Vectors, Standing Pilates, Circular Pilates, BoneUp to maximize the benefits of these products.
