Refining a Teacher's Eye in the Pilates Method with Dorothee Vandewalle
Burlingame, California | September 18–20, 2026
Master Teacher Trainer Dorothee Vandewalle is returning to UPPilates Burlingame for a special Continuing Education Weekend in the Classical Pilates Method. With decades of experience and a reputation for developing exceptional teachers, Dorothee will guide participants in sharpening their observation skills, refining their teaching decisions, and learning to let the Pilates apparatus do the teaching. The weekend focuses on developing a stronger teacher's eye — observing more, cueing less, and creating sessions where clients can truly move, learn, and succeed.
This event is for Pilates teachers, teacher trainees, studio owners, and dedicated students looking to deepen their understanding of the Classical method. We encourage anyone looking to elevate their practice or teaching to take advantage of this incredible opportunity!
