Your hours, in a real studio
Learn by watching, moving and teaching
Training days are only part of becoming a teacher. Pilates Education Australia also asks you to log observation, self mastery and practice teaching hours. At Humans in Movement you do them right here, alongside our instructors and our community. For Mat + Reformer that is 30 hours of observation, 55 hours of self mastery and 60 hours of assisted teaching.
Practice teaching
Prac teaching in a trainee environment, under the supervision of another instructor with real clients, is free.
Self Mastery sessions
The Instructor Self Mastery Circuit, taught by senior instructors and educators, Mondays and Fridays at 1pm. Because an instructor is teaching you, these have a cost: $38 casual, or $30 a class on a once a week membership.
Studio hire
Practising on your own friends and family in the studio costs $25 per booking to hire the space. Hiring a single Reformer is always $25. Mentees get one hour of studio hire every week as part of their mentoring.
