Why train as an instructor with us

Hearts and Bones' instructor training teaches beginner to advanced Pilates exercises with a contemporary approach. Our aim is to help you hone your skills, develop your own voice and style, and become the best Pilates instructor you can be.

Training philosophy — classical base with today's knowledge

Hearts and Bones respect the traditions of the Pilates method, which include concentration, centering, control, precision, breathing, alignment, flow, and integration. We also incorporate contemporary scientific research. Our students learn:

beginner to advanced Pilates exercises
how to modify exercises to suit different body needs
best-practice teaching tools
contraindications to movements
how to use the exercises to best meet clients individual needs.

Our educational programmes are based on our Essentially Pilates Movement and Teaching Principles that support the way the body moves. These principles incorporate the most up-to-date biomechanical theories of movement and exercise science and best practice teaching principles. Understanding these principles creates a dynamic learning experience. You'll be able to apply this knowledge to your practice immediately.

Just wanted to say how grateful and appreciative I am for having been able to do the Pilates Essentials, Mat 1 and 2 and now revisiting the workbooks and notes to answer the exam questions. Brings a freshness to my learning and teaching and reminds me of the many helpful things you share so generously."
