It’s the perfect complement to your training, helping you build confidence, context, and community as you grow into your role as a future instructor.

Level II
Apprenticeship

The Apprenticeship is for students who have completed all modules of their comprehensive Pilates certification and are ready to begin teaching. This 6-month program blends hands-on teaching experience with structured mentorship, giving you the chance to lead classes, refine your skills, and receive direct feedback. It’s the ideal bridge between certification and professional teaching, supporting your growth into a confident, capable instructor.

Level III
