Bliss Pilates
16 rue du Château
Fontainebleau, France
Bliss Pilates is located just south of Paris in the heart of historic Fontainebleau. The studio sits steps away from the town’s green lawns, canal, and the renowned grounds of the Château de Fontainebleau, all within a short two to five minute walk. The surrounding forest, the largest in France, provides a uniquely inspiring setting for study and connection.
About the Immersion
Over the course of four days, participants will experience inspiring workshops led by Amy Taylor Alpers, Kelli Burkhalter Hutchins, Kaile Ziemba, Debora Kolwey, and TPC Licensed Teacher Trainers, along with daily group classes, private lessons, and opportunities for trainee exams.
This Immersion is designed for Pilates instructors, teacher trainees, and dedicated practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the Classical Pilates method while studying alongside colleagues from around the world. The program supports both personal practice and professional growth through structured study, observation, and application of the method.
It will be a time to learn, grow, and connect with the global Pilates community in one of the most beautiful and inspiring settings in the world.
For those unable to travel to France, Zoom participation options will be available.
