Pearl Pilates Studio

Celebrated our final Pilates Certification weekend—and the completion of this amazing group’s intensive training—with delicious cupcakes from 🧁

This wonderful group has now completed 78 hours of weekend intensives with me and officially earned their status as certified Pilates apprentices! Their journey continues with 480 hours of observation, practice teaching, self-practice, and class time before becoming fully certified Pilates teachers.

Interested in working with an apprentice at a reduced rate while they complete their certification hours? Reach out to me or contact the studio for more information.

I’m also thrilled to welcome my dear friend and Pearl District Studio Manager, Elizabeth Stafford, as a teacher trainer for the Pearl Pilates Certification Program. It was so special to have her shadowing and learning alongside me throughout this course. 💗

Upcoming certification courses with either me or Elizabeth will be announced soon on the website!

We just wrapped up weekend three of our Pearl Pilates certification course — the Cadillac weekend. It’s been such a joy to spend these weekends with such a thoughtful, dedicated group and to watch their confidence and teaching develop. One more to go - the Chair! ☀️

One of the things that makes this training so special is the mix of experience levels learning alongside one another. We have brand new apprentices just beginning their journey, current apprentices returning to observe and deepen their understanding, experienced teachers revisiting the material with fresh eyes, and even teacher trainers in development shadowing the process. Watching this kind of mentorship, curiosity, and support unfold across different stages of teaching experience creates such a rich learning environment for everyone involved.

These four intensive weekends are just the beginning of the certification process. After the intensives, apprentices continue with observation, self-practice, practice teaching, and class hours as they work toward completing 480 apprenticeship hours within two years — all within a supportive community of teachers and studios committed to helping them grow into confident instructors.
