What you need to know about Pilates and Private Health Rebates in 2026. The anticipation has been building around private health fund rebates returning for Pilates in Australia this year. After years of advocacy, policy shifts and industry discussions (for context, read our previous blog), we are now at a new phase, and it is important to understand where things stand right now, what’s next and what this means for Pilates Instructors and Students.

What is cueing? It’s the heart of the Method as a unique mind-body discipline. It’s complex and powerfully individual (check out Pilates Cuing is An Art insights from industry leaders). That’s what makes it so very interesting!
“Intelligent course design”: it is about access and equity. We want our courses to be accessible to all people, from all walks of life. And life, as we know all too well, can be messy! Our courses have been designed to be completed, like all vocational training, parallel to a full-time work commitment as standard. […]
We’ve talked about Pilates “mastery” being the product of years of (ongoing) study, and seeking out knowledge. So, here’s part two: nine books you should be reading on your journey toward Pilates mastery.
Pilates mastery is earned, not bought. “Mastery” shouldn’t be confused with the practical “doing” of Pilates: learning choreography and pedagogy. There’s so much more to it. After all, just because you’ve got the moves, doesn’t mean you’ve mastered them. Underneath professional delivery is mastery from years of (ongoing) study that comes only from investing in […]
The misconception that Pilates is somehow a feminine discipline perhaps comes from the fact it was adopted early, in the mainstream, by the dance community: a traditionally female industry. In actual fact, Joseph Pilates used the Method to train army troops, interned prisoners and men from all walks of life, as much if not more […]

OBSERVE. PRACTICE. EXPERIENCE. Becoming a Pilates Instructor requires an experiential, personal engagement with the subject matter by watching and learning, practicing teaching skills, and feeling “the work” in your own body (also known as Self-Mastery). Our Students’ Work Placement (WP) requirement is dually supported by our home-base Instructor Training Studios and network of Work Placement […]
As two modalities that share the goal of helping people to move better, reduce pain and feel better in their body, physiotherapy and the Pilates Method have a lot in common. We also train lots of physiotherapists to become Pilates Instructors to add to their skills-mix. It’s a match made in (movement) heaven. The federal […]

Work Placement (WP) is all about creating real-life context for- and applying- what you learn in Course Delivery sessions and from your own study (Self-Directed Learning) of the course content. At Pilates ITC, we believe that learning how to teach the Method of Pilates without physical context and experience, unlocks only a shadow (pun intended!) […]

“Self-care”: it’s so much more than a product of the wellness industry. At its core, self-care is any activity undertaken with intention to improve and or maintain our mental, emotional and physical health. We see this very concept in the Workplace Health and Safety unit (HLTWHS001) of our Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction and associated Instruction Pathways. In this blog, we explore the importance of self-care for Instructors, in an operational context, and ask you to identify activities, practices and consider strategies for supporting your wellbeing as a professional.
