Learning Outcomes

This isn't a weekend crash course, real tutor time, real practice, real feedback. Be prepared to put the work in: this course asks for your full commitment, and gives you a genuine teaching foundation in return.

Anatomy and Physiology: A solid grounding in how the body moves, so you can teach with intelligence, spot what's happening in the room, and make informed calls on programming and modification.

Supporting Clients: The relationship, communication and motivation skills that keep clients engaged and coming back to class.

Health, Safety and Welfare: Everything you need to manage risk, safety and client welfare with confidence, from day one.

Principles of Exercise, Fitness and Health: The science behind exercise, and how to apply it to build safe, effective sessions.

Principles of Pilates Matwork: The history, philosophy and structure behind the method, the foundation for everything you'll teach.

Programming Pilates Matwork: How to build progressive, purposeful sessions that get real results for real bodies, including modifications, progressions and use of props.

Instructing Pilates Matwork: Extensive hands-on teaching practice, cueing, correcting and adjusting, so by the time you're assessed, you've already taught the room.

Studio Ready: Qualified, practised, and ready to walk into any studio with confidence.
