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.
Join our graduates to teach locally and globally, with our internationally accredited Teacher Training Programme.
