Hours: Total Work Placement Requirement.
We believe that physical context and awareness is how you unlock your full teaching potential!
You must feel it, see it and touch it to make sense of it and how you can, in turn, communicate that experience with others. (That’s why we also promote Self-Mastery as part of the process!)
Getting in the Studio is shown to optimise learning outcomes and nurture skilled, capable and confident - industry-leading Pilates professionals.
The Work Placement component may feel daunting at first; however, it is achievable with planning, preparation and commitment. The first step is to understand what is involved and the scope of this requirement.

In other words: prioritise and commit to in-Studio, on the job learning.
