Yoga sculpt & mAT PILATES INSPIRED TRAINING

Have you ever been curious about teaching fitness, wondered what it takes, or wanted to deepen your practice?


This training, which includes 36 hours of in-person instruction, is designed to give you the tools to teach yoga sculpt and pilates mat inspired classes. Open to all—whether you’re looking to teach or simply deepen your personal practice.


Along the way, you’ll build strength, refine your movement, and elevate your personal fitness—while gaining a deeper understanding of the work behind it.


This is where technique meets intention.
Where anatomy becomes embodied.
Where the way you move transforms the way you connect.


Inside the training, you’ll refine:
– Form + alignment
– Cueing that lands
– Intentional sequencing
– Playlist curation + energy flow
– Thoughtful prop integration
– A confident, authentic presence


Led by three experienced instructors, each bringing a distinct perspective, the program blends hands-on learning with at-home practice and real class exposure.


Outside the 36 hours in-person, participants will also be asked to complete a portion of independent study. This includes guided prep and attending classes at other studios to expand your perspective and deepen your understanding of movement.


Schedule
June 22–25 | 5–9pm
June 27–28 | 9–5pm
July 17 | 5–9pm — Final Practicum + Graduation


Come as you are.
Leave stronger, more confident, and deeply connected to your movement.
