Upcoming Workshop 

An Embodied Pilates Workshop for
New & Emerging Teachers

Led by Courtney Burk

Discover a deeper approach to teaching Pilates—one that goes beyond memorizing exercises and empowers you to teach with presence, confidence, creativity, and purpose.

Teaching Flow is an immersive two-day workshop designed to help Pilates teachers develop an embodied understanding of movement while refining their cueing, sequencing, observation, and teaching skills. Through guided exploration and hands-on practice, you'll learn how to create classes that are fluid, intentional, and authentically your own.

Whether you are currently in teacher training, newly certified, or an experienced instructor seeking fresh inspiration, this workshop will help you strengthen your teaching foundation and discover your unique teaching voice.
