The science of Pilates is learned in the classroom, but the art of teaching is revealed only when you receive the opportunity to teach. Every student training to become a Pilates instructor at Pacific Northwest Pilates is encouraged to participate in Train to Teach—a twenty-hour mentorship program designed to provide students in training with an opportunity to learn beyond the classroom for the first time in a safe, supportive and structured environment before taking a final examination.
Students teach paying clients a one-hour class on mat and reformer under the guidance and support of a fully certified Pilates Instructor Trainer. Students in training will follow a clear teaching plan, be observed throughout their training, and learn to work independently with clients at PNWP. For a student in training, it is an invaluable opportunity to get feedback and gain a deeper understanding of the Pilates profession.
