Elevate Your Teaching – Cultivate Your Expertise – Become a Recognized Authority

How does a Pilates teacher become a recognized authority?

By asking powerful questions that probe deeply into a subject!

That’s what this mentorship style program is all about.

In this 19 month program*, you’ll work closely with your chosen mentor from The Pilates Center’s highly experienced staff on a subject of deep interest to you. You’ll develop critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills to acquire true command of your topic. The end result will be a publishable article or a powerful workshop you are fully prepared to teach.
