“The course content was nicely balanced with teaching of anatomy, pathology, and exercise demonstration and practice. The instruction was top caliber.” - Giovanna T

”The free use of the Studio for our individual practice and other hours was a definite plus” - Renee L

“If someone is looking to become a pilates instructor, well its a no brainer, this is the course for you. Learning about all the theory and really understanding the concepts is important but what's equally as important is learning how to teach it. Learning how to become a good instructor and understanding people's limitations or contradictions while maintaining the class flow and keeping everyone safe and happy is key!” - Victoria P

“The pace and schedule of the program was perfect and allowed me to balance my full time job and other commitments. I’d recommend the LiveBy Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training to anyone who wants a flexible, engaging, well-organized program. After completing the program, I feel well-equipped to take this knowledge into my own practice and apply it when teaching others.“ - Natalie L
