What Participants are Saying
“This is an excellent idea put into practice: helping young children discover their bodies in a playful and constructive way! This innovative approach promises to have a bright future in professional, family and school education.”
— Michel Dufour, teacher at the Haute École de physiotherapy and author of works on musculoskeletal anatomy and functional biomechanics.
“Petit Pilates© has been offered for a few years now as an extracurricular activity at school. We are convinced that it brings a lot to children from a postural, well-being and concentration point of view. Petit Pilates brings tools to teachers and teachers see the effects in the classroom. Installing the Petit Pilates© culture at school will allow children to concentrate better through breathing and movement and to have better posture, which will serve them all their lives.”
— Mathilde Mondongou, Director of the International Bilingual School of Haute-Savoie (EBIHS).
“I wanted to try Petit Pilates© in my class because I saw how much the children love the after-school club and I think it’s a great way for them to become more aware of their bodies.”
— Elementary school teacher
“A big thank you to Florence and Marion for this very enriching training! Our two Petit Pilates instructors have managed to convey their passion and share their experience with children and adolescents. We now have a wide range of tools and games for implementing the Petit Pilates method.”
— Elementary school teacher and Pilates instructor
