How good do you have to be at Pilates to train as an instructor?

It’s a question we get asked a lot, and one that came up again during the Q&A segment of our first LPA Pilates Career Webinar last week.

Is there a webinar you’d be interested in us hosting? Let us know in the comments!

You may have seen that we have a few new courses live on the LPA site.

One of these is our Level 3 Pilates Chair Award.

The Chair is a great option for teachers interested in specialising in rehabilitation, working with a more diverse client base, and differentiating themselves as instructors.

As always, you can DM us or contact us with any questions about our courses, or enrol via our website!

Our Level 3 Award in Pilates Tower is officially open for enrolment!

The LPA Pilates Tower course is a comprehensive 2-day certification designed for instructors who hold a Level 3 Mat Pilates qualification and want to confidently teach both small groups and one-to-one clients using the Tower.

Throughout the course, you’ll learn LPA’s original Tower repertoire and gain the knowledge and skills to teach with confidence. The course also forms part of the LPA Pilates Development System™, our methodology designed to help instructors make the most of the full Pilates apparatus system.

Access to the LPA Learning Portal with our complete filmed original
Tower repertoire
A full-colour course manual
Two days of practical, small-group training
Ongoing tutor support throughout your learning journey

How can you modify movements for your prenatal clients?

LPA tutor Gillian shares some of the modifications she’s been using in her own practice during her third trimester.

Every pregnancy is different, so as instructors, it’s important to avoid a blanket approach to modifications.

Check in with your clients regularly, listen to their bodies, and make sure you have the knowledge and training to support them safely throughout their pregnancy journey.

This is a question we often get asked ⬇️

A lot of students want to know how quickly they can complete their certification, and we completely understand the eagerness to finish the course and start teaching as soon as possible.

However, at LPA, our priority has never been getting students certified as quickly as possible.

Our focus is on developing confident, knowledgeable, and capable instructors. And that means giving our students the time they need to fully understand the course material, and gain real in-person teaching experience throughout their training.

Pilates requires a deep understanding of anatomy, programming and movement to work with a wide range of clients safely and effectively. And we don’t believe that’s gained by rushing through an online course.

We believe that when our grads leave LPA, they should feel prepared to walk into a studio and teach with confidence. By prioritising quality over speed, we help our students build strong foundations that supports a successful and long-lasting teaching career.
