Next start date: 11th September 2024

Our Classical Teacher Training course teaches the Classical Pilates Method on all of the studio apparatus (Reformer, Mat, Cadillac, Chairs, Barrels, Foot exercisers, Magic Circle and lots more...). The course duration is 40 weeks covering 600 hours of study (teacher and self led) and you'll have up to a year to complete your exams should you need additional time. While learning the Classical Pilates repertoire you'll also learn modifications, variations and safety issues that will help you to confidently teach Pilates safely and effectively.
