This isn’t Level 1. Then Level 2. Then Level 3.
This is the whole thing. 🤍

Our Mat Pilates Instructor Certification was designed to take you from learning Pilates to actually knowing how to TEACH Pilates.

And that starts on Day One.

Throughout 100+ hours of training, you’ll learn and PRACTICE how to:

✨ Cue movement clearly and effectively
✨ Understand the why behind the exercises you teach
✨ Modify and progress exercises for different bodies
✨ Incorporate props with purpose — not just because they look fun
✨ Adapt exercises for different populations, including prenatal + postnatal clients
✨ Observe movement and make adjustments in real time
✨ Build intentional, balanced classes
✨ Find your voice and confidence as an instructor

Because knowing an exercise is one thing.

Knowing what to do when the person standing in front of you needs something different is what makes you an instructor.

Our Mat Pilates Certification includes 100+ hours of education, observation, practice teaching and hands-on learning, is structured to meet National Pilates Certification Program Mat requirements, and provides canfitpro CECs.

But what we’re most proud of?

Our graduates leave ready to teach.

They’ve gone on to teach in boutique studios, gyms, recreation centres and with private clients — because they didn’t just leave with a certificate.

They left with knowledge. Practice. And confidence.

If you want more than a weekend certification, you’re in the right place.

Train to Teach. Move to Inspire. 🤍

Currently considering quitting my day job to pursue my true calling:

being an aggressively average runner.

Qualifications include:

One pair of running shoes.
One race under my belt.
An Apple Watch doing its absolute best.
And a Garmin fund that is very much still in development.

No podium finishes.
No sponsorships.
No elite pace.

Just a suspicious amount of enthusiasm for someone this new to running.

And honestly?

I’m having the best time 😂🏃‍♀️

Turns out you don’t have to be exceptional at something to fall completely in love with it.

Please respect my career transition. 😂



📸 Servus Edmonton Marathon

The Victory Lap Was A Success!

Just over six weeks ago, Leah (Leah Pollard ) subtly convinced me to run at the Servus Edmonton Marathon with her. I said yes- even thought I knew I only had 6.5 weeks to train.

And somehow that one yes turned into consistent training, early mornings, hard days, longer distances, new friendships, and now… my first race.

Tomorrow I run the Edmonton Half Marathon.

Today was our shakeout run with Chasing Miles Run Club here in St. Albert at La Crema Caffé , and I think what I loved most had nothing to do with pace or distance of the shake out run.

It was the groups energy.

So many people showing up to move their bodies, settle the nerves, encourage one another, and get ready for tomorrow.

No competition.
No ego.
Just people genuinely wanting to see each other do well. Chase LaRose | Run Coach has done such an amazing job at bringing the community together- THANK YOU!

I’m so grateful I said yes.
And I’m so grateful I found this running community.

Six weeks ago, I was simpler chatting with an acquaintance about running. Who soon became a best friend!

Tomorrow, I get to stand at the start line of my first half marathon.

And I honestly cannot wait. 🤍

Recovery is still part of the movement.

Stretching counts.
Rolling counts.
Taking a few minutes to care for the body that carries you through everything counts.

One little habit I’ve started calling my “Roll & Scroll” is pretty simple.

If I catch myself lying around scrolling on my phone, I’ll grab a foam roller or massage ball and get down on the floor.

I’m still scrolling. I’m just also giving my body a little attention while I do it.

Nothing fancy. Nothing perfect.

Just a few extra minutes of mobility, release, and recovery worked into real life.

Because taking care of your body doesn’t only happen during the workout.

Sometimes it happens on the living room floor with your phone in one hand and a massage ball under your glute 😂

Movement is the workout.

Recovery is part of the journey too.
