INSTRUCTOR PORTAL
Our PMA approved Pilates Teacher training program fuses the classical Pilates repertoire with a contemporary approach including a wide range of modifications and variations. This approach will best prepare you to teach clients of all ages and ability levels. We look forward to seeing you in the Studio, to set you on the path for a successful and fulfilling Pilates career. At the center of our philosophy is the idea that every teacher has their own teaching style and we want to give you the foundation to start cultivating that style. We would love to meet you to introduce you to our Studio and discuss our program, as this is a big decision for you. Thank you for considering Move Studio and PSC for your Pilates instructor education. A program that welcomes discussion, encourages creativity, and promotes the idea that movement heals.
Take a Pilates class. Immerse yourself in a variety of classes with different styles and instructors. Begin to determine what styles you are drawn to and ask tons of questions.
A passion for Pilates is not enough. Consider the time and financial commitments necessary to complete the training and embark upon this flexible and fulfilling career journey.
A mat only certification prepares you to teach group mat classes primarily found in gyms and other recreation facilities. If you plan to teach full time or train private clients, a comprehensive certification would be best - it would be very difficult to make a living on a mat Pilates certification alone.
There are many reputable certification programs available. Ask your favorite teachers about their paths and recommendations. Consider things like classical v. contemporary approach, in person v. virtual training sessions, class sizes, costs (no hidden fees), required continuing education and national affiliations/recognition.
Attend training sessions. Continue your personal pilates practice. read the material and study hard. teach apprentice classes. complete projects and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
Finish training program, complete the required practice and apprentice hours, and pass your final written and practical exams. Transition your student insurance to an instructor liability insurance policy
Upon completing your training program, projects and training hours, you are now ready to pursue teaching opportunities and start training clients. Pilates teachers are in high demand, so weigh your options carefully and consider all of the possibilities. Land the dream job that fits your schedule and lifestyle or start a business of your very own.
Begin your work with clients as a certified teacher. Share your love of Pilates with others, start growing your business and (ALWAYS) continue your education with workshops, seminars and other learning opportunities.
