Then you book 1-on-1 mentorship sessions with our instructors to practice teaching, get feedback, and ask questions. The only thing you do alone is watch the videos. Everything else happens with our team supporting you.

What equipment do I need?
For the Mat course, you'll need: a Pilates mat, and basic props like resistance bands, a small ball, and a magic circle. Most of these you probably already have!
What if I get stuck or have questions?
That's what we're here for! You can ask questions during your 1-on-1 sessions, message us anytime, or reach out to our team. We don't leave anyone behind.
What can I do after completing the Mat course?

Comprehensive. We offer special pricing for graduates who want to continue their education.
