Program Details:

The LAB: A collaborative teacher training carefully designed to bring you both Classical and Contemporary exercises on a mix of traditional & contemporary Pilates equipment: Mat, Reformer, Spine Corrector & Magic Circle. Future trainings to come. 

❋ In-Studio Lecture

Learning will be broken into three segments to build a comprehensive repertoire. Focus will include Anatomy, History of Pilates/Scope of Practice (as required by the PMA®), and a breakdown of every exercise according to choreography, muscle focus, and contraindications. We also spend time learning how to put together programming for private sessions, duets and group classes.

❋ Self-Practice Hours

A minimum number of hours practicing on your own either in our studio, following your manuals, along with DVD’s/online or in other studios.

❋ Practice Teaching Hours

We encourage you after the first weekend to begin teaching to people. Anyone you can get your hands on: friends, significant others, and family. The more body types you see moving the better off you will be.

❋ Observation Hours

Upon completion of your hours, you will schedule a date to take your Practical exam. Upon passing both a written and practical exam you will be a Certified Pilates Teacher.

When you commit to The Lab training, we are also committing to be your mentors for not just the certification process but every moment thereafter. As you begin your journey into the teaching world you’ll come across questions but may not know where to get answers. That’s what we’re here for! We’ll make sure you have every resource you need to be a successful teacher!

What differentiates the LAB from other trainings

  • After 15+ years of teaching, we’ve learned that every body brings something different to the Pilates studio. Injuries, disabilities, strength, mobility, life stages, and individual experiences all influence how someone moves. Our integrated education training is designed to help you look beyond the traditional Pilates repertoire, expand your knowledge, and become a more confident, adaptable teacher who can work with a wider range of clients.

  • We provide ongoing mentorship to support graduates as they step into teaching, helping them apply what they’ve learned in real-world settings. Through networking events, continued education opportunities, and access to experienced instructors, we create space for connection, feedback, and growth. Helping our teachers build confidence, refine their skills, and feel supported as they evolve in their careers.
