Modules at a glance

The Polestar online learning platform offers you the opportunity to optimally prepare for the individual face-to-face modules and to follow up on them afterwards. All module content is available to you online in the form of quizzes, exercise videos and lectures. This allows you to learn flexibly and effectively and boost your individual learning progress.

Even before the course starts, you will have access to important theoretical principles, the Polestar movement principles and all the content of the first module. This means that you are ideally prepared for the start of the classroom course.

Module 1 - Presence (2 days)

This module forms the basis of the course. You will receive an interactive introduction to the equipment, learn about the benefits and safety aspects of the equipment and experience the basic exercises in practice. Initial posture and movement analyses are carried out. The online platform is used to prepare for this module. The five Polestar movement principles are also introduced.

Module 2 - Presence (2 days)

The second module focuses on the structure and sequence of the POLESTAR Pilates programme. Analysis, planning, control and exercises for levels 1-2 are taught. There is also a check-off of the exercises from the first module.

Module 3 - Presence (2 days)

The focus here is on visual language, case studies and exercises at Level 2. The exercises from Module 2 are reviewed again.

Check-Off (3 hours presence before module 4)

Before the fourth module, a check-off takes place in presence. The exercises learnt up to module 3 are demonstrated and tested. After successful completion of this check-off, a mid-term examination can be taken. This confirms that 50 % of the training programme have already been successfully completed.

Module 4 - Presence (2 days)

The fourth module focuses on tactile guidance, differentiated instruction, further case studies and level 2-3 exercises. The topic of touch is also dealt with in greater depth.

Module 5 - Presence (2 days)

Module 6 - Presence (2 days)

In the sixth module, aspects of energetic medicine are dealt with, exam preparation is intensified and further case studies and exercises are carried out at Level 3.

Exam Refresher / Check-Off (1 day à 6 hours, attendance module)

A refresher day is organised for targeted exam preparation: Practical and theoretical content is repeated and the execution and teaching of the exercises from all previous modules are reviewed. There is also a mock examination and an evaluation of the results.

International certification exam - (presence and online)

Is included in the package! Each participant has been registered for the examination specified in the training programme. This date can be postponed once (for an additional administration fee), but the exam must be taken within 12 months of the last module.

Exam requirements

As a prerequisite for the examination, participants keep a logbook in which they document their own personal practice (100 hours), the teaching of the exercises (100 hours) and observation of courses (40 hours). The logbook serves as proof of eligibility for the exam and must be checked by a Polestar mentor or instructor before admission to the final exam.
