Teacher Training for Real Bodies

Learn the foundation. Teach with confidence. Start now or join us live in person. 

Pilates teacher training should be more than memorizing an order and hoping you figure out how to teach later.

Our online, self-paced Old School Pilates Mat Foundations certification is designed to help you understand the classical mat system, develop your eye, strengthen your voice, and begin teaching with clarity and confidence. Whether you start online or join us at our in-person, two weekend immersive mat certification, you'll learn how to teach the body in front of you, not just recite choreography. At the end of the program you'll be fully certified to teach mat classes.

Old School Pilates Comprehensive Certification is designed for those who are ready to dive in to a complete Pilates education.
