Choosing a Pilates teacher training? Start here.

There are so many Pilates teacher training courses out there. Different lengths, different locations, different approaches, different price points. So how do you know which one is right for you?

Nic, founder of Soul Pilates Education, has a few things she recommends thinking about before you commit.

✨ Find out who trained the teachers you admire. Do you like their style of Pilates? Does it align with the kind of teacher you want to become?

✨ Speak to the educators. A good conversation can tell you a lot about the course and whether its approach is right for you.

✨ Think about what you actually want from your training. Are you looking to teach a few classes alongside your existing career? Or do you want to develop a deeper understanding of Pilates and build a career around it?

A shorter course might be right for someone looking to dip their toe into teaching.

If you want to understand the Pilates system in depth — how to programme, how to cue, how to work with different bodies and how to teach with confidence — you'll need the time and space to go deeper.

There isn't one right route into Pilates teaching. But there is a right route for the teacher you want to become.

So take your time, ask questions and make sure the course you choose will actually prepare you for where you want to go.

Our next Soul Education Comprehensive and Reformer Teacher Training courses are coming for early 2027.

Bring a man for free 🤍

From 17–31 August, we’re inviting you to bring a man in your life to Pilates for free.

Your partner. Your dad. Your brother. Your colleague. Your friend. Or that man in your life who thinks Pilates is just stretching 👀

Let Juan’s story convince him otherwise.

When Luisa first started Reformer, she brought her husband along.

He admits that before trying it, he thought Pilates was “for women” and basically just stretching with a machine.

Then he tried it.

Now they both come to Reformer classes regularly, and Juan says Pilates has helped him feel more comfortable in his body, understand how he moves and improve the aches and discomfort that came from spending long hours driving.

And that’s exactly why we want to give you the chance to bring someone along.

Pilates isn’t just for women.

It’s not just about stretching, and it’s not just about fitness.

It’s about building strength, awareness and a better relationship with your body.

So bring the man in your life who doesn’t quite get it yet. You might just get him hooked 😉

🎟️ Bring a man for free from 17–31 August
🤍 Available to existing Soul Pilates clients
📍 Valid across our Bristol studios

What people misunderstand about Roll Up 👀

The Roll Up is often seen as a test of abdominal strength, but there's another piece of the puzzle that's easy to overlook: spinal mobility.

The movement asks you to articulate through your spine, gradually rolling down one vertebra at a time, then reversing that movement to come back up.

So rather than trying to power your way through it, think about:

✨ Rolling through your spine sequentially

✨ Moving with control rather than momentum

✨ Creating space through each part of your spine

✨ Keeping the movement slow enough to feel what's happening

Building spinal mobility and learning how to articulate through your spine can make a huge difference to your Roll Up, and to how you move more generally.

Save this for your next Pilates session and follow along with our Master the Move series for more Pilates technique tips 🤍

Pilates isn't about getting better at Pilates...

It's about getting better at life.

The strength, mobility and control you build in the studio is there to support everything else you love doing.

🏃 Runners do Pilates to run faster

💃 Dancers do Pilates to move more freely

🤍 The rest of us do Pilates to feel stronger, move better, and keep doing the things we love for years to come.

The goal isn't to master the Reformer.

It's to build a body that supports the life you want to live, now and in the future.

If you've been meaning to start, our Summer Edit is the perfect opportunity.

With our limited-edition class packs available until 31st July, there's never been a better time to build a routine that your future self will thank you for.
