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
