Pilates Teacher Training
If you’ve been considering becoming a Pilates teacher and want to learn how to work confidently with all bodies while creating truly inclusive classes, you’re in the right place.
Our teacher training programme is affiliated with The Pilates Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to preserving the integrity of the Pilates method while embracing its ongoing evolution. The Pilates Foundation champions accessibility in Pilates and fosters a supportive community of passionate, like-minded teachers.
We follow the traditional apprenticeship model of Joseph Pilates and the elder teachers who worked alongside him: first embodying the work, then learning how to teach it.
This is not a fast-track qualification, but a deeply considered training designed to build lasting knowledge, confidence, and teaching skill.
Rooted in the classical exercises, our approach honours the original method while making Pilates accessible, adaptable, and relevant for the bodies in front of you today. Honing your eye to understand what adaptations a body may require to reap the true benefits of Pilates.

I was excited about learning more about Pilates but daunted by the idea of going back to studying as an adult. From the start, Cat made the whole experience feel very manageable and really enjoyable.
She is very generous with her knowledge and guidance, and she makes learning fun, interesting and really rewarding.
You have to put the hours in, but Cat gives you all the support and encouragement you need to get there. I came away from the course feeling proud of what I’d achieved and much more confident in my knowledge and ability.
If you’re thinking about doing the course I’d definitely say go for it. I’m so glad I did!

Training to become an affiliated Pilates Foundation Mat Teacher with Cat at Margate Pilates Studio has been a nourishing experience.
The training was thorough, layered and full of depth, giving me a strong understanding of Pilates, anatomy and teaching.
The combination of knowledge and practical experience has given me the confidence and skills to begin my journey as a Pilates teacher. I’m so grateful for Cat’s support and knowledge throughout. Without her I don’t think I would have made it

Cat was everything I could have hoped for in a teacher — knowledgeable, thorough, patient, kind and incredibly supportive. She created an environment where I felt able to ask questions, make mistakes and keep learning.
I finished the course with not only my qualification, but a much deeper understanding and love of Pilates, and I genuinely feel prepared to take that knowledge into my own teaching.
Having experienced first-hand how much Pilates has changed my own life and helped me move beyond years of back problems, I wanted to understand the method properly and learn how to help others in the same way. This course gave me exactly that.
