PILATES TEACHER TRAINING

 
 

Our Program is Unique

The Muse Movement Pilates Teacher Training Program does more than simply teach you a dated repertoire. We offer a deconstructed, post-modern look at Pilates that helps you become a critical movement thinker. We teach you how to be a confident and sophisticated teacher who can read the narrative of a body. You will be able to create a movement experience that fits the various needs of differing bodies and lived experiences; in a group class or with a private client.

Become an Expert

Our Pilates Instructor Training graduates become coveted teachers. Our program is taught through interactive lectures and hands-on learning. You will learn how to think on your feet and combine deep anatomical understanding, functional movement, methodical exercise progressions and creative sequencing to create a movement experience that is relevant to a modern urban lifestyle. As a student, you will have unlimited access to class offerings so you can embody the practice yourself.

Our Approach

We constantly strive to create an environment that is inclusive and accessible. We take pride in incorporating our core values into our program. We are always evolving in order to incorporate new learnings and continue to make this, “The Best, Most Comprehensive and Dynamic Pilates Training in Toronto”.

  • “The teacher training at Muse Movement was a life-changing experience for me that surpassed all of my expectations. Each one of the teachers was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate; not only about pilates, but also in communicating their expertise to the students in a personalized way. At Muse Movement, the training went so far beyond learning anatomy and cuing movements. They created a supportive and encouraging environment for me to ask questions and to challenge myself to go beyond what was on the page. I came away from the Muse Movement teacher training with the practical skills and applied knowledge to move confidently into teaching mat work, but I gained something even more valuable: a supportive community."

    — Alexa WL., MuseMovement Teacher Trainee Fall 2017

  • “I couldn’t have chosen a kinder, more down-to-earth, yet thorough Pilates training school whose core hope is for everyone to find better health and movement through their teaching.”

    —Felicia M., MuseMovement Teacher Training Fall 2017

  • "The Muse Movement teacher training was an experience that went above and beyond my expectations. It was so much more than simply learning about anatomy, sequencing, cueing, and language. It was about understanding the human body, from head to toe, inside and out, and using that insight to become a communicator first, and a teacher second. It was a joy to be taken under the wing of such a knowledgeable faculty, and a privilege to speak with guest lecturers who are experts in their respective fields such as pelvic health, chiropractic medicine, physiotherapy, and anti-oppression training. It sounds cliché to say, but the education and confidence I gained from this experience allowed me such freedom to be myself as an instructor. And I think that’s what is so unique about the Muse Movement Teacher Training – they aren’t interested in creating teaching clones. They’re goal is to give you the wisdom, tools, and power to offer something special to the masses – YOU."

  • “Muse's TT is awesome! The program is really well laid out and balanced - covering all aspects of teaching movement while supporting a variety of learning styles and levels of experience. I was nervous that my chronic back pain from scoliosis & spinal fusion would get in the way, but Keri was very kind and accommodating. She approached my concerns with genuine curiosity and compassion; turning it from a limitation into a learning opportunity. All the instructors are amazing at intentionally establishing an accepting and encouraging environment. Using collaboration, curiosity and laughter, Keri is great at getting everyone to step out of their comfort zone in fun ways. Leslie’s deep knowledge and passion for anatomy are contagious. She balances thorough discussion with lighthearted learning - even throwing herself against chalkboards to help you visualize muscles in action! Talk about full bodied learning! I'm very grateful to have had the chance to learn in a movement community like Muse that helps you acknowledge and work with today's body - its ranges, its lines, its breath. If you're thinking about signing up - do it! I'm glad I did.”
