About the Training Program

We are happy to officially announce that we are partnering with Erin Lauer Johnson of Pilates Artistry to offer a teacher training program! By partnering, we can provide students with more benefits, resources, as well as apprenticeship opportunities.

We are looking to hold a 3 week Mat Training starting January 9th, meeting every Tuesday and Thursdays from 2-5pm, tentatively ending January 25th. The two pre-requisite workshops will be held on Saturday, January 6th and Sunday, January 7th.

Program Cost

The required prerequisite workshops, Fundamentals of Anatomy and Fundamentals of Movement. These two workshops must be completed before continuing on to any training module. The costs of the workshops are determined by the number of hours, amount of content, and in-person requirements of each and are as follows:

Fundamentals of Anatomy - $300

Fundamentals of Movement - $450

Mat Module:

Tuition for the 3 week long Mat teacher training is $2000. Early Bird pricing from now until 12/09/2023 is $1800. Tuition includes 18 hours of in depth, in person instruction of the historical Pilates exercise system for both personal practice and to train your eyes and hands to teach and help clients modify movements for all different body types and limitations. You will learn about common injuries, pathologies, and patterns, and develop the skills to tailor sessions and classes to meet every individual’s needs.

Module tuition includes access to LSQP and Pilates Artistry during set hours for self-practice or practical practice of teaching friends/family, as well as benefits such as discounted classes, memberships, and private sessions at LSQP and Pilates Artistry during the teacher training period. If a trainee needs to practice outside designated hours, coordination with studio management is required and rental fees will apply to cover the cost of staffing the studio(s) during off hours.

Additional Costs (Books)

There are six (6) required, and four (4) recommended books for the Reformer module. Trainees are responsible for obtaining their own copy of the materials. The list of books can be found here.
