The learning experience
Your Training Journey
Becoming a confident Pilates instructor requires more than memorizing exercises. It means understanding movement, recognizing individual differences, and learning to adapt Pilates to the person in front of you. Our cohort progresses through four phases, supported by the Pilates Encyclopedia curriculum and hands-on mentorship.
Learn in a Real Studio Setting
Practice alongside experienced instructors, observe individualized Pilates sessions, and develop your own teaching skills with thoughtful feedback in a supportive environment.
Build Your Foundation
Explore Pilates principles, functional anatomy, biomechanics, and the foundations of the ADAPT Method. Learn fundamental Mat and Reformer exercises, alignment, breathing, and effective cueing.
Your focus: Understanding movement before teaching movement.
Expand Your Knowledge & Repertoire
Progress through Reformer, Tower, Trapeze Table, Chair, and Barrels. Learn to adapt exercises to different levels of strength, mobility, coordination, and ability, with guided teaching practice.
Your focus: Adapting Pilates to different bodies and abilities.
Apply Your Knowledge
Develop movement observation, individualized programming, and communication through supervised practice teaching. Gain a physical therapy-informed perspective on scoliosis, osteoporosis, and other movement considerations, within the Pilates instructor’s scope of practice.
Your focus: Thoughtful, individualized Pilates instruction.
Develop Confidence & Prepare to Teach
Bring your education together through supervised teaching, practical assessments, and continued mentorship. Refine cueing, session design, modifications, and the confidence to guide clients.
Your focus: Becoming a knowledgeable, adaptable Pilates instructor.

The $500 deposit is non-refundable and serves as the cancellation fee.
You may request a refund within 30 days of your first in-studio training session. Eligible tuition paid will be refunded minus the non-refundable deposit and the value of any classes or sessions attended. No tuition refunds are offered after this 30-day period.
Pilates Encyclopedia administers its own coursework refund policy and offers a full refund within 30 days of sign-up, subject to its terms. Because first-year coursework is included in this studio tuition package, the enrollment agreement should explain how any third-party coursework refund is handled.
