Alison Ward has been practicing Pilates since 2000 and teaching as a certified instructor since 2006. She originally trained with Stott’s comprehensive program in Toronto and later through The Pilates Process at Riverdale Pilates in Toronto (a method specializing in post-rehabilitative work) where she worked beside Instructor Trainers for over two years. There she expanded her knowledge of Pilates, taking therapeutic courses and working with varied clients whose practices ranged from post-rehab through to advanced. In 2015, she became the first Vancouver based Instructor Trainer for The Pilates Process. Alison has 27 years of various dance and theatre experience and is a fully qualified Highland Dance Instructor. Her background in dance and movement compliments her teaching style and gives her a deeper understanding of the body. The Pilates Process
Pilates Process™ training offers a progressive, refined approach to Pilates. Our method incorporates current scientific research on biomechanics and core stability. This constantly evolving information guides us to continually improve and adapt our teaching. Developed in 2003 by master instructor Laura Helsel, the Pilates Process™ method started as therapeutic education and quickly evolved into a fully comprehensive Pilates training program. Certification courses are frequently held at Riverdale Pilates in Toronto ON, Ross Pilates in Thunder Bay, ON and at Pacific Interior Pilates in Kelowna, BC.

Our approach is always evolving with the latest research, focusing not just on what to teach, but how to teach.

One of our core principles is Efficiency — using only the energy and muscle engagement needed, avoiding excess tension, and allowing the body to move as a connected whole.

That’s why in foundational exercises like footwork, we cue initiation from the glutes while keeping the upper body stable. It’s a subtle shift that creates powerful alignment.

💡 Ready to dive deeper? Join our Reformer Course at Pilates Process Vancouver to explore these principles hands‑on. You’ll learn:

How to apply efficiency across the Reformer repertoire

Adapting the exercises for the bodies in front of us

Practical teaching strategies that build confidence and clarity

📅 Course Dates (Weekends): Jan 23–25 Jan 30–Feb 1 Feb 6–8 Feb 20–22 Feb 27–Mar 1
