Pilates Teacher Training FAQ

Once you’ve completed all of your modules and the required personal practice, student teaching, and observation hours, you will submit a test-out application to a balanced body. If you have taken most of your modules with one master educator, you will likely test out with that educator. If you are taking your modules at ALIGN with Brooke Bowersock, you can expect to have conversations with her regularly to help you make a test-out plan and test-out date goal.

Once approved for test out, you will schedule your test with your master educator.

During the test, you will take a written exam that usually takes a little over an hour. This written test is based on your manuals, the PowerPoint accompanying each module, the videos accompanying your manuals, the test for each module, etc.

In addition to the written test, you will also perform a practical exam. This practical exam will be one hour and will be based on the path that you have chosen. For example, if you are becoming a mat Pilates instructor. Your practical test will include movement, principles of anatomy, Mat exercises, and so on, depending on which path you choose for certification.

You will be given a list of exercises one week before your test out exam. You will be required to put these in an order that you feel represents your teaching style and the person you will teach during your practical exam. You can practice the entire week with the person you will be bringing in to test during your practical exam. This person may not be a Pilates instructor or anyone in the Pilates certification program. You’ll be expected to modify the exercises for the person in front of you and teach all of the exercises on the list based on their injuries and needs.

On the test day, you will introduce your master educator to your student. You will let the master educator know about their goals and their injuries. The master educator will then give you 2 to 3 additional exercises you must throw in on the spot when you see they fit into your program. You will not be able to use notes, and you must teach your practical exam from memory.

If you do not pass your written or practical, you must retake that particular portion.

What Does The Mentor Program Include?

Mentor Classes

There are two weekly classes available exclusively for members of the Mentor Program. Unlike regular Pilates classes, these classes stick to the manual material to help you properly learn how to do the exercises and teach them to your students. This ensures that you have a solid foundation to start teaching and helps you pass your final exam.

Open Studio Times

Take advantage of our well-equipped studio to practice at your convenience. We offer open studio hours four days a week, allowing you to schedule your own time and come in to practice. You can use our equipment and join any of our on-demand classes (which count towards your self-practice hours), practice your own programming to see how it flows (also self-practice hours), or collaborate with other peers in the Mentor Program to practice your teaching skills (these count towards your practice teaching hours). This offer is exclusively for local residents.

Observation Hours

You will have the opportunity to observe our teachers in action as they teach in our studios. As a participant, you will be a silent observer during class while also assisting the instructor with greeting clients, setting up equipment, and experiencing firsthand what goes on in a real-life studio setting. This experience will provide you with ideas for teaching and cueing, as well as fulfilling your required observation hours.

Practice Teaching Hours

Participants in our program are provided with exclusive time on Saturdays to hone their teaching skills by practicing with each other. These sessions are overseen by Brooke, who offers valuable tips and guidance to help participants improve.

Teaching Labs

Join us for our workshops, where we delve into specific topics such as common injuries, Pilates for pregnancy, when to advance clients, tips for retaining clients, and more. These workshops provide an opportunity to expand your knowledge and enhance your skills.

On-Demand Video Library

Our Mentor Program video library is a valuable resource that provides you with recordings of all our mentor classes. This means you have the flexibility to review the content at your convenience, giving you the power to learn and grow on your own terms. Additionally, our platform offers “teaching labs” that you can access to deepen your understanding and enhance your skills. With these tools at your fingertips, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.
