Pilates Teacher Training

"...PATIENCE and PERSISTANCE are vital qualities in the ultimate successful accomplishment of any worthwhile endeavour." Joseph Pilates 1880-1967

To teach Classical Pilates you have to practice Classical Pilates. Prior to qualifying all our teachers were firstly students in the technique. In Classical Pilates, even as a teacher, you are always a student developing day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year.

When choosing a training provider whether you are already a Fitness Instructor or have never taught before, quality training is key to the success of your career as a Pilates professional. New teachers require knowledge, skill and confidence to provide effective private and group classes. A solid training that provides a foundation in understanding the Pilates Method, the underlying principles, essential equipment and how it all works together ("The Integrated System'). This creates a profound difference in the new teacher's ability to provide quality instruction, even if that teacher ultimately teaches mat or reformer only.

We always say that these courses are mentally and physically challenging and require many hours of practice and commitment.

All of our Educational programmes are built on a strong foundation. Every Classical Pilates student teacher, regardless of his/her fitness level or movement experience starts by learning the Foundation and Level1 System. These are the essential exercises that collectively form the core of what Joseph Pilates called "the heart and soul" exercises, also known as the Basic System. Mastering these essential exercises will create a foundation on which to progress to the next level.
