Orange People Teacher Training
Mission
Orange People offers a 450-hour comprehensive Pilates teacher-training certificate program in Korean. The director of the school is Woo Y Chun. Orange People first started in 2014.
Our school intends to prepare future Pilates teachers in the Korean community with the highest standards of professional practice of Pilates. Our practical curriculum has an emphasis on classical Pilates repertoire and includes extensive studies of anatomy, rehabilitation Pilates, and pregnancy Pilates. Classical Pilates taught in the Orange People studio includes the original 34 mat exercises in the book “Return to Life through Contrology” by Joseph Pilates, and equipment exercises using the principles taught by Joseph Pilates in his book (centering, concentration, control, precision, breath, and flow).

All our classes are taught at the Orange People studio in Irvine, CA. Our comprehensive program consists of 140 hours of lecture and workshop taught in a series of weekend sessions. Beginning, the intermediate and advanced classical repertoire on the mat, reformer, ladder barrel, chair, trapeze table, and spine corrector will be explored. We will cover topics such as Pilates anatomy, principles, assessment, postural analysis, contraindications, cueing, and exercise progressions and repertoire. The remaining 310 hours consist of personal practice, practice teaching, and observation hours all of which must be completed at Orange People studio.
