COCO Concepts Instructor Training
After 15 years of immersive study, cross-training, and hands-on teaching, Carolina Pelletier developed COCO Concepts — a signature modality redefining how mindful mat-forward fitness is taught and experienced.
COCO stands for Creative Objectives for Conscious Outcomes. It is more than a workout format; it is a philosophy of intentional movement designed to create measurable physical results and meaningful internal transformation for clients.
This dynamic, music-driven class structure blends spinal integrity, intelligent sequencing, aerobic and anaerobic conditioning with embodied leadership, guiding participants into a powerful flow state while strengthening, lengthening, and enhancing heart rate variability.
For instructors ready to elevate beyond choreography, this is your next evolution.
