Learn to lead joyful, accessible, nervous system-intelligent Pilates Reformer Classes! 

TRANSFORM your confidence and client retention, and set yourself up for decades of success as a group Pilates Instructor inside our Trauma-Informed Pilates Teacher 2-Day Instructor Training.

During our time together on the weekend of April 25-26, you'll learn the teaching techniques to help your students:

  • feel more comfortable in a boutique fitness environment even if they don't fit the typical (white, skinny, cisgendered, able-bodied) mold of what pop culture tells us is a Pilates practitioner

  • calm their busy brain in the first 5 minutes of class so they can be more focused and present throughout their workout

  • warm up their joints and release key tension areas like the psoas, neck and shoulders so they can access their pelvic floor and core more deeply

  • build strength intelligently through smart sequencing so they can avoid tweaking their injuries and develop a more sustainable exercise practice

  • take 3-5 minute at the end of your sequence to breathe and move in ways that encourage a parasympathetic nervous system response, so they can leave class feeling spacious, relaxed and centered

Originally designed as a 4 day training, this eye-opening and empowering CET has recently been consolidated to 2 days to be more time-efficient. 

Perfect for the fitness or wellness pro who wants to add Pilates Reformer Instruction to their skillset and resume, as well for the dedicated Pilates practitioner who wants to develop a safe, fun home practice for themselves and/or their loved ones..,
