WHY Does The

Program Work?

WHY THIS TRAINING WORKS

Teaching Pilates isn’t about being the most advanced student in the room.
It’s about understanding movement, communicating clearly, and guiding people safely.

The LRO Pilates Mat + Reformer Teacher Certification is built to help you master those skills through structured weekly learning, deliberate practice, and personal coaching.

This hybrid program blends:

✔ online learning modules
✔ guided team practice real time virtual or in-studio
✔ weekly coaching
✔ 1:1 personalized feedback on all assignments

 ✔ small-group accountability

No guessing. No overwhelm. No “figure it out on your own.”

Just steady progress, week after week.
