Instructor Training

with So Young Pilates

Reformer, Mat & Chair

Our instructor training is designed for those who want to move beyond taking class and begin understanding how to teach.

This program is rooted in how we actually teach at So Young Pilates.

Not just exercises, but how to observe, cue, and create a strong, intentional class and lead effective Pilates classes.

What you will learn

  • Students will develop a comprehensive understanding and awareness of the Pilates Mat, Reformer, and Chair.

  • Learn how to teach pilates from beginners to advanced clients.

  • Be able to challenge, progress, and modify exercises to fit your clients and their abilities.

  • How to cue efficiently and how to program the class.

  • Design and instruct the class with all different ages and body conditions.

Your Instructor

Soyoung’s classical training and ongoing study of neuroscience-based movement education have shaped a teaching approach built on understanding why movement works, not just how to perform it. Instructors who take her course will gain practical tools for reading a room, cueing with intention, and creating classes where every participant can find movement that feels personal and real.
