Why you should learn from The SO Academy

Creating a fully comprehensive teaching programme to cater to the current trends in the industry is a difficult task, it needs time to be trialled and tested, as well as constantly have a pulse in the industry. Our teacher training programme involves not just the moves itself, but modifications and adaptations for all bodies, detailed breakdown of the moves, and how to hands on correct/provide tactile guidance for your clients. For us, everyone and anyone can teach the move, but to truly understand it, its what differentiates you from everyone else. 


Our structured teaching courses are designed to provide you with the most comprehensive education and knowledge base, ranging from extras like pre & post natal variations, small apparatus teaching and more. This is why our Teacher Training Programme is 135 Hr or 150+ hours. Good education requires time and practice and the in person days are information packed, with knowledge pearls for rehab, for fitness and for every day practice. During our In Person days, you will also learn how to teach sequences, because a Pilates class is not just teaching move after move, but instead how to flow your class. Oh, we also teach you how to class plan. 


Sounds like a great deal for your investment? We think so too.

  • "I’ve just finished up both my reformer and mat training with The SO Academy. Nicole and Madi were amazing explaining all aspects of reformer teaching and had such an empowering teaching style. Nicole was sole teaching the mat course and everything was explained very clearly and kept fun(bonus of having your trainer being a physio as well). I learnt so much during these courses and would recommend to anyone who is thinking about taking that leap."

    Zoe W.

  • "I recently attended a four-day Reformer Pilates training in Auckland. I thought I already knew what Reformer Pilates was and how it should feel in my body but meeting Nicole completely changed my perspective. Her energy, creativity, and the way she breaks down each movement and series made everything click. It was such a fun, inspiring experience and it deepened my love for Reformer even more. I left feeling so motivated and excited to start teaching! I can’t wait to continue my training with the mat course next!’"

    Hannah P.

  • "Joining The So Academy programmes has been one of the best investments I've made. As part of the course, I was able to get one-on-one guidance on the proper techniques to perform each move on the machine.I would highly recommend anybody to give the courses a go; whether you just want to deepen your understanding to improve your own practice, or if you love pilates so much you want to take it up as a new career - I for one, sure did!"

    Jess K.

  • "The SO Academy Training Programme was absolutely fantastic; and has set me up with a great reformer pilates teaching foundation and I now teach all the way on the other side of the world in UK. I would recommend training with SO without hesitation. No better way to begin your instructor journey!"
