A two-day advanced instructor intensive on where movement begins, taught by Christian Cox — hosted here at Legacy Pilates.
The exercise is only the expression. The work begins underneath.
Christian Cox, Founder & Master Instructor, A.M.U
Open to teachers in training and certified instructors.
The work is not simply performing the exercise. The work is understanding where the movement begins.
This intensive moves beyond choreography into the principles behind effective teaching — built from Christian Cox's 28 years of teaching, mentorship, and movement observation.
Across both days, instructors work through the questions that sit underneath every cue and correction.
Each day can be taken on its own, or together as the complete intensive.
The Reformer and Chair provide a powerful opportunity to explore strength, resistance, control, and movement organization — how the apparatus supports intelligent movement, and how instructors can better recognize and refine the work being performed.
The Mat and Tower reveal the foundation of the Pilates method and challenge instructors to understand movement without relying solely on external support — connection, organization, breath, and control.
Christian began her training at 18 with Romana Kryzanowska, and furthered her education globally with instructors including Brooke Siler and masters from the Pilates Center of Boulder and Chaz Knight.
As Founder and Master Instructor of Authentic Method University, she has built an educational platform focused on instructors who understand not just the exercises, but the purpose, precision, and principles — and the archival work — behind them.
Through thousands of hours of teaching and mentorship, she has developed a refined ability to see movement beyond the surface: recognizing patterns, identifying compensation, and helping instructors find more effective ways to teach.
Her philosophy is simple: the exercise is only the expression. The work begins underneath.
Practical shifts you can bring into your next class, not just ideas to think about.
