What is PiYo™

The PiYo™ is an athletic blend of Pilates, Yoga, and so much more. It includes modifications for the group exercise environment, yet offers exercise progressions to challenge to all levels of participants.

The PiYo™ Instructor Training course prepares Group Exercise Instructors to teach basic to advanced Pilates/Yoga combination classes. It allows instructors the freedom to design their own classes with their own music or the option of using our pre-designed class formats and music. Exercises are selected and balanced through strategic variations, (pose angles and application of force), with each specific movement. Each PiYo™ Lesson builds on the last to increase exercise adherence and avoid hitting plateaus.

Testimonials:

Well, I can honestly say that if you haven’t been to a Powder Blue Event…You are missing out!

I have studied and taught various types of yoga. In 2005, I married and moved to a small town.. what a change! I am still teaching yoga, however, my personal practice has started to struggle. I believe my teaching skills were probably not what they once were. Then, I attended a PiYo™ event hosted by Francee’. I could tell she has a great passion for what she does. She makes everyone around her want to be the best they can be!! I found my passion for yoga all over again. As she was teaching and I was listening, marveling at how cool she was, I later wondered if I was doing that for my students and thinking how cool it would be if I have that affect on them…

I loved her class so much, I am making a 6 hour trip to her next 1 day event to learn Turbo Kick®!!!! This will be something new and challenging for me and I can’t wait!! Jackie Fuller, AR

Originally, I started teaching Powder Blue Production’s Turbo Kick®. I was very pleased with the company because everything from training to buying new material was so easy and fun. Once I heard about PiYo™ I had to become trained. I hadn’t even attended a live class before I attended the training to be an instructor. I just had confidence that it would be that good! Of course, I was not disappointed! Our instructor, Meredith, kept the class small and intimate, which provided for questions and class discussion. We also had time to work in groups with other students; this provided me with many ideas on variations of the different moves we were learning. The PiYo™ training provided me with the basics of what I would really need to know to teach it. The teaching tips they supplied have been very useful to help my students understand how to move and breath. I use them all the time! I also bought the 10 pack of PiYo™ lessons, which includes an instructional DVD, music, and teaching notes. Considering that I can integrate the lessons with one another, I won’t run out of ideas or music for a long time! Thank you Powder Blue Productions for making everything simple and exciting!

I attended Turbo Kick® and PiYo™ Instructor Trainings in 2008.I had been doing Turbo Jam® for about 6 months prior to it and had fallen so much in love; I couldn't wait for the instructor training! I thought I was pretty good (form-wise), since I had been doing it for "so long"...boy was I in for a surprise! I learned SO much! I had never been to a live class! My form improved 150% after training, my rhythm got better, and so much more.

Stretching used to be a big weakness of mine. I have always liked cardio, so anything slow like stretching, Yoga, Pilates, was just not my cup of tea. I knew how much I LOVED Turbo, so I signed up for PiYo™ thinking, "I love Chalene's Turbo, surely I will love all her other formats too!" I am SO glad I did.

I wanted to start teaching right away! I asked our corporate personal trainer if I could start teaching at work. He didn't think we would have enough room in our corporate gym, but agreed to let me try. After only a few weeks, we had such an amazing turnout, they cleared out an old, unused room and turned it into an aerobics room! Our corporate fitness is at an all time high! To my amazement, PiYo™ is everyone's favorite. The classes are an incredible HIT! I am also subbing at another gym and do private classes!

I have taken the AFAA Group Fitness Instructor training and the ACE Personal Trainer training all due to my "addiction" for Turbo Kick® and PiYo™. I want to help as many people as possible get in the best shape of their lives! I have had so many compliments and success stories already. It is so rewarding!!!

Thank you Chalene for creating these amazing programs and for taking the time to share them with all of us! I am most truly grateful! Kelsey Rockstroh, OK
