‘The In Balance Teacher Training program exceeded all my expectations. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about Pilates. I left feeling confident, inspired, and fully equipped to start my journey as an instructor.’

This course was everything I was looking for—structured, hands-on, and full of valuable insights. The small class sizes meant I got plenty of one-on-one guidance, and the mentorship opportunities really helped me refine my teaching skills. Highly recommend!’
