TPC brought the teacher out of me and helped me see how I could not just teach the exercises, but USE the exercises to affect someone’s health and wellbeing.
TPC really thrives at guiding you to find your own personal teaching style and eye while staying true to the Method.
TPC feels like passionate people sharing what they love who invite you to be a part of their family.
The Pilates Center’s teacher training programme materials have been online for many years. But with COVID-19 restrictions in place, we expect continued limitations on studio access. This means you must be prepared to complete more of your lessons, observations and practice teaching hours online. As you consider entering an industry that has been, for the past few months, wholly digital – we encourage you to keep an open mind and consider this an opportunity to sharpen not just in-person, but online teaching skills too.
For this reason we ask that you already have a good working knowledge of the classical apparatus, and that you live within local access of somewhere to practise, in case times get tough again.
Rest assured that we are practised in delivering high quality teaching online as well as in the studio. Regardless of external circumstances, you will be mentored and guided through your training year at every step.

Lorna is a graduate of The Pilates Center’s Advanced Programme, The Pilates Center’s Master’s Programme, and is now a Licensed Teacher Trainer for The Pilates Center’s training programmes.
She has been advising on the teacher training team since 2014, and has helped more than twenty students along their paths to becoming teachers.
Her role as Licensed Teacher Trainer and Director of Education is to guide and advise students on the course, as well as administer all exams. She also oversees enrolment and administration, and leads the taught components of the course.
Lorna inspired me to become a Pilates teacher through her own teaching, and became a great mentor to me throughout my training.
It’s the sense she gives of not owning the work, but passing it on in her understanding of it and the body.
Her knowledge and experience is remarkable considering the time that she’s been teaching. For me this sets her up with the senior teachers in terms of expertise.
