Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training Right for You?

I’m Natalie, owner and instructor at Body Aligned Pilates and Wellness. I will be holding my fifth year of Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training here at Body Aligned Pilates and Wellness beginning in January 2024. 

Whether you plan to teach others or simply want to deepen your knowledge to benefit your own Pilates work, Pilates Teacher Training may be just what you’ve been looking for.



I recently asked a graduate from my 2022 class a few questions about her experience in Body Aligned’s Pilates Teacher Training.
 
What most surprised you about attending Pilates Teacher Training?

“I was most surprised to learn that I had deficits in my body that were preventing me from accessing my deep core muscles. I had been exercising a certain way my whole life and developed habitual patterns. The training really helped me to understand how to position my body for the exercise and optimize the use of certain musculature. I still struggle with certain things, but I am more aware now and can help others as well.” 

What would you say to someone considering the Body Aligned Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training?

“To anyone considering teacher training, Natalie is a wonderful advocate for Pilates in general. She is kind, patient and has an abundance of knowledge, not just in Pilates but about the body in general. The training is not easy, and it requires time, patience and focus. I am thrilled that I did this for myself, and I have gained a broader understanding of how my body responds to exercise. For those looking to teach Pilates, this foundation will help greatly in terms of assisting others with their specific Pilates goals.” 

What has changed for you since you have taken the training?

“Since I have taken Pilates training, honestly, I have completely changed my exercise routine. I now practice Pilates a minimum of 3.5 hours a week. I have seen a change in my strength, the shape of my body and most importantly, how I feel. I also love endurance sports, and I ride a road bike on a competitive team. Pilates has helped me with my strength and my flexibility, allowing me to spend more time on the bike without injury. 



“In addition, I feel more confident in training others in all forms of Pilates, equipment and mat. I was terrified to share my knowledge at first, but the more I practice, the more I want to share my knowledge with others. It is most gratifying to see others developing a love for Pilates, because you know it is something they can do for the rest of their lives."
 

“I can’t imagine my life without Pilates in it.”

What an inspirational testimonial. As you can see, Teacher Training is not just for those who desire a career as a Pilates instructor. It can also educate you to navigate the nuances of your individual body structure, making your sessions more productive and enjoyable.

I’m offering an early bird pricing option for those who enroll before November 15, 2023. But don’t delay; there are only three spots left!
