Becoming a Pilates Instructor requires a practical and personal engagement with the subject matter by watching and learning, practicing teaching, and feeling “the work” in your own body (also known as Self-Mastery).

All Students’ Work Placement (WP) requirement is supported by a network of Work Placement Studios (WPS) to ensure equity of access to high-quality learning environments.

Students can choose to attend any of our Work Placement Studios to complete the following course requirements:

Watch group Matwork, group Reformer and Studio sessions.

Practice teaching with family, friends and other Students.

“Shadowing” Instructors in group Matwork, group Reformer and Studio sessions.

Your own Pilates practice: one class per week, minimum. This can be completed anywhere, not just at Work Placement Studios.

Learn from the best.
