Harmonise Training Academy

This September is our annual Older Adult & Back Care CPD course for Pilates and Yoga teachers with Louise Windsor.

Make your classes more accessible, gain a deeper understanding of the ageing process and related health conditions, back & spine issues and how to safely modify.

Set up classes branded for ‘older adults’, ‘chair’, or ‘back care’, teach at warden assisted facilities, care homes or community centres and work more closely with one to one clients.

We will cover a multitude of common health conditions, and a whole host of back issues too – both NSBP (non-specific back pain), and diagnosed conditions. Experience chair, wall and many other exercises / asana, be more confident in addressing common health conditions and health related issues. Many of the back care exercises are somatic based. We also cover pain, acute pain vs chronic pain, how chronic pain comes from the brain, pain management techniques, poly vagal theory, nervous system, stress, trauma, sensitisation, protection, posture and emotions in relation to pain as well as sensory motor amnesia. We also discuss interoception, language of embodiment & student empowerment. This course includes all associated anatomy & physiology.

This course will widen your audience, expand your exercise and asana selection, inform all of your teaching; your cues, your assists, the language you use and encourage you to think outside the box.

Early bird available until 13th August. Book via the link in our bio or go straight to the website here:

NEW PILATES TT COURSE DATES NOW OPEN!!

Clare and Stacey's next Pilates Teacher Training will begin the weekend of 7th November and bookings are now open!

Here is a recent student review:

“For Pilates teacher training in Brighton, this is the only place to go. Clare is an incredibly knowledgeable mind on Pilates and all things movement. Supported by the very intelligent and empathetic Stacey, they make the dream team.

I looked at a few different courses and noticed that the pricepoints differed quite substantially. After speaking with Clare on the phone initially and then spending lots of time learning from her and the team at Harmonise, it’s clear why. Other courses won’t get you the same level of in-depth, real-life, and necessary training in order to feel like a confident, well-equipped teacher at the end of the course.

Pleased to have met such a lovely group of instructors!” Lois

Louise Windsor is running her popular Yoga Nidra course in January, the perfect time of the year for deep rest.

Learn how to safely guide your students through a Yoga Nidra experience designed to support deep relaxation, stimulate the vagus nerve and encourage parasympathetic activation.

Understand the benefits of Yoga Nidra, which may support regulation of blood pressure, heart rate and hormonal balance, as well as help with insomnia, creativity and overall wellbeing.

Explore brainwave states, key brain functions and the concept of liminal space, deepening your understanding of the fascinating connections between brain, mind and body.

Understand the structure and stages of a Yoga Nidra practice, their purpose, and how to thoughtfully plan and script your own.

Gain insight into the lineage of Yoga Nidra, developing awareness of its scope, potential risks and how to teach the practice with care, sensitivity and integrity.

Practise sharing each stage of Yoga Nidra, as well as delivering a full practice, so that you leave feeling confident and competent to teach safely.

Did you know this week is Men's Health Week? It's a wonderful opportunity to challenge some of the traditional misconceptions around Yoga and Pilates being more a women's domain - and to highlight the very real benefits these practices offer men's bodies (and minds), particularly as powerful complements to sports, running and strength training.

If you have men in your life who are yoga-curious but haven't quite taken the plunge, this could be the perfect week to give them a gentle nudge. And if you're a teacher, it's a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how welcoming and accessible your classes feel to a male audience. We even spotted one teacher offering free taster sessions for men this week, a lovely idea and one worth considering if you're looking to diversify and grow your classes.

Super excited to be DJing in Brighton over the Brighton Pride weekend ….i’ll be bringing the colour, sparkles & fun joyful tunes 🙌🏼

More details soon!

Discover how to transform your classes by incorporating weights in this 3-hour Pilates with Weights CPD workshop with Stacey Beattie.

You’ll explore how resistance can enhance your repertoire, challenge your participants, and deepen the mind–body connection.

Adding weights to your Pilates classes not only delivers all the core benefits: improved core strength, increased flexibility, and balanced muscle development, it also adds the proven benefits of resistance training.
