Infinite Dynamics

teacher training

The practices of PILATES and GYROTONIC®, once the exclusive territory of dancers, are now widely recommended as effective body-mind conditioning methods for a wide range of people with all degrees of physical fitness. Medicine now employs these programs for rehabilitation and injury prevention, as it recognizes that they provide neuromuscular re-education for those with injuries, disease, and mobility concerns.

INFINITE DYNAMICS offers GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® teacher training, as well as comprehensive certification in PILATES. We encourage you to take these courses, in their entirety or in part, as intensive seminars to improve and deepen your practice.

Christine Wilson, RN, Master Trainer, is now offering special courses upon request, schedule to be arranged.

Our spacious teaching facility in San Luis Obispo has ongoing job opportunities for Pilates mat and Reformer Trainers as well as GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® instructors.
