Tune into Your approach
Self Paced & Milestone Planning
At Pi, our goal is simple: to train strong, capable Classical Pilates teachers.
we want to find the best support for your rhythm, goals, and availability.
Flexibility Through Self-Paced & Milestone Planning
Our training is designed around you.
You move at a pace that fits your life — your responsibilities, your goals, and your rhythm. We understand that everyone who joins us is navigating different backgrounds and commitments.
For some, a self-paced journey offers the spaciousness to grow alongside work, family, holidays, or unexpected life shifts.
For others, a milestone-driven structure provides focus and momentum — especially if you're aiming to complete the programme in 12 months.
If you’re new to teaching and working towards a 12-month outcome, it typically requires a full-time commitment of around 20+ hours per week. This includes self-practice, observation, teaching, study, private sessions, and group classes.
To help with planning, we recommend the following timeline: 🗓️ 12-Month Guideline
Intro Assessment around 2 months after your first training weekend (at 100 hours apprenticeship)
Progression Assessment about 8 months in (at 300 hours apprenticeship)
Advanced Assessment around month 10 (at 400 hours apprenticeship)
Final Assessment around 12 months (at 600 hours apprenticeship)
If a fixed end date is not a high priority, and moving tough the training at your own pace is, then you will align with your assessments in your own time.

If you're ready to train with intention and momentum, this approach helps you align your year around key assessment milestones, keeping you focused, supported, and steadily moving forward.

– Accountability and guided mentorship built into your journey
– Ideal for students who want to qualify within one year
– Still offers flexibility to pause and adjust if life shifts unexpectedly
– Set your own clear start and end date — with structure that supports success
– And if things change, that’s okay too — we’ll adjust with you
⚖️ Things to Consider:
– Requires consistent weekly commitment (around 15+ hours per week — considered full-time)
– Best suited to those who enjoy a faster pace and strong external structure
– May not suit those looking for longer timelines or more spacious flexibility
