Discover our Online Pilates Courses
This course structure has been extremely well-presented making it easy and very accessible for any information, questions and help you may need. The online layout is set out perfectly and for some people like me that sometimes struggle with studying it has been an enjoyable process.
I am currently working 4-5 days a week in a retail job as well as doing the occasional work for social media. I have been really enjoying the freedom of the online course meaning that I make my own time to study which fits in well with my already busy schedule.
Once I qualify, I would love to start teaching a few days a week to fit into my current work schedule and eventually with more practise and time have my own Pilates studio and travel the world teaching.
