Teaching Skills: Presence & Cueing

Work on your use of voice, word choice, presence in the room and non-verbal communication. What makes your teaching powerful and clear?

During the Pilates Teacher Training we work with the book Science of Pilates. A comprehensive book that covers the science and anatomy behind Pilates poses. You need to purchase this book yourself and it’s available as an e-book or physical book on bol.com.

This Teacher Training offers a complete and structured progression through the Pilates mat repertoire. You will cover a mix of Mat 1 (Basic), where you learn the fundamental exercises along with anatomy and core movement principles, Mat 2 (Intermediate), with more challenging exercises, fluid transitions, and increased difficulty, and Mat 3 (Advanced & Requisites), using props such as Pilates balls and bands to add variation and extra challenge. In addition to classical mat exercises, modern Pilates exercises are included, so you gain knowledge of both traditional and contemporary techniques.

The aim is not only to master the full mat repertoire but also to develop your cueing and teaching skills, so you can instruct confidently and effectively.

8 Days. The training is an intensive where practice and theory are combined to professionally train you as a fully qualified Pilates instructor in a short time. After the training, you’ll have all the knowledge and tools to teach Pilates classes.

The classes are taught in English. However, our teachers also speak Dutch. If needed, they are more than happy to answer your questions in Dutch. If you prefer to take the exam in Dutch, that is also an option.

No, you do not need prior experience. The training is designed so that both beginners and more experienced Pilates practitioners can learn step by step. You start with the foundational principles of Pilates and gradually progress to more advanced exercises. This ensures you gain all the knowledge and skills needed to teach confidently and safely, regardless of your starting level.

This helps you further develop your skills as a teacher.

This training focuses on classical Mat Pilates and not specifically on Reformer Pilates (Pilates with equipment). Mat Pilates forms the foundation for all other forms of Pilates. During the course, you will develop not only knowledge of the exercises but also anatomy, posture analysis, breathing, and teaching skills. This provides a strong foundation as a Pilates instructor, which you can later apply when working with equipment such as the Reformer.

Compared to Reformer classes, teaching Mat Pilates is flexible and easy to start. It is accessible for participants, allowing you to teach both beginners and more experienced Pilates practitioners. Since very little equipment is needed – just a mat – you can teach at a variety of locations, from private sessions to group classes or corporate settings. This enables you to start teaching immediately after the course and expand your opportunities as an instructor across a wide range of settings.
