Pilates Teaching Lab

A 4-Week Coaching Experience

Because knowing is different from doing.

Knowing is different from doing.

Pilates Encyclopedia teaches the principles. The Teaching Lab helps you apply them.

You can understand anatomy, memorize exercise progressions, and complete continuing education courses, yet still find yourself wondering:

👉🏻 Did I choose the right exercise?👉🏻 How should I modify this movement?👉🏻 What do I do when a client can't perform the exercise I planned?👉🏻 How can I accommodate different needs in the same class?👉🏻 Am I helping this client as effectively as I could?

If you've ever second-guessed a teaching decision, you're not alone.

Teaching Pilates requires more than knowledge. It requires observation, judgement, adaptation, and problem-solving in real time.

“Mara’s laidback demeanor is a breath of fresh air. I really enjoy the opportunity to improve my game with such a lovely coach."- Elizabeth

What is the Teaching Lab?

The Teaching Lab is a 4-week virtual coaching experience for Pilates teachers who want to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Rather than learning more information, you'll learn how to apply what you already know.

Together, we'll work through real teaching situations, discuss client cases, troubleshoot challenges, explore options, and develop practical solutions you can use immediately in your classes and sessions.

Bring your questions.

Bring your client cases.

Bring the situations that keep you second-guessing yourself.

Together, we'll work through them.
