We deliver you the best quality classically-oriented teacher training product on the market that is grounded in inclusion, progressive social and movement education values and a deep care for our craft. Our goal is to create compassionate Pilates teachers who can think critically, employ modern practices in movement education but without diluting the intention and application of the original Pilates method.

We believe in the power of the Classical method especially when on authentic equipment as it is a complete system or framework where the exercises are linked and derived from a handful of ‘mother’ movements. In contrast, we see (from years of experience) that the ‘contemporary’ Pilates approach is more piecemeal and selects movements based on a disjointed approach. We focus on sensibly building all clients into an integrated movement system, with compassion and time, especially those who have less experience with an organised exercise approach.

We put our weight into comprehensive training that is primarily face to face, however, we also offer modular training and remote access to those who live outside of Melbourne and have lives and lifestyles that require more flexibility. In this way, we can pitch in and break down the fortress walls and elitism of classical Pilates and share the complete method with a focus on long-term skill acquisition rather than aesthetic performance.

Maybe you’re keen on learning more but aren’t looking to teach, or you’re already teaching so don’t need to formally certify? Well, we have created a pricing option to factor this in. If you opt-in to assessment, we work to an agreed timeline so that you don’t slip through the cracks and are supported to achieve your professional goal.

You have chosen one of the only organisations globally to focus on the original work in both private and group Pilates classes, and we share our learnings from establishing and operating this unique curriculum with the public in our comprehensive course, or buy purchase for the modular approach. We believe this approach offers accessible and inclusive Pilates training to every body and will put the Pilates back in your Pilates practice.

We offer you the deep how and why of tactile cueing or in traditional Pilates-speak ‘Hands-on’. Many of these tactile cues were created by Joe and Clara and then handed down to their clients and first generation Pilates elders, through their lineage bearers to us and now to you. We respect that not all teachers or clients enjoy tactile cueing, but for those who appreciate an additional skill to their bow, we will share what we have learned for you to apply in a way that sits with you values.

We don’t believe in saddling you with assessments that you can’t take into your work … so all of our learning tasks and case studies are based on your daily life as instructor. They balance three important concepts…. a deep care of the original work, they are client-centred and instructor-forward. This way you don’t need to race out for additional training once you graduate with us.
