Stop Feeling Like A Fraud
You’ve been teaching Pilates for a while and you’re comfortable teaching a group. Your classes are popular and you really look like you know what you’re doing.
But on the inside sometimes you feel like a fraud.
Like when a client asks you about their sore shoulder – you know how to give them a different exercise but you don’t really know what’s going on inside there. You want to know what’s going on with their body so you can help them, rather than just giving them something else to do.
That is EXACTLY what you’ll learn in the Diploma of Clinical Pilates.

Get Out Of Your Rut
If you’ve ever come to a point of teaching 20+ Pilates classes a week, sometimes 5 in a row it’s ridiculous. You’re not teaching quality, you’re teaching quantity. It’s the same thing over and over again it’s a routine.
If you’ve ever thought “I’m done with this I don’t want to be a number anymore” If you just yell out cues, you don’t really know if they’re right you just heard another teacher say it.
This course will get you out of that rut. You’ll build on your existing skills and take your teaching to a whole new level.
This course will seriously open your mind.

- You’re not ready to fully commit to becoming the best you possibly can be
