Why should you learn from The SO Academy?


Creating a fully comprehensive teaching programme to cater to the current trends in the industry is a difficult task, it needs time to be trialled and tested, as well as constantly have a pulse in the industry. Our teacher training programme involves not just the moves itself, but modifications and adaptations for all bodies, detailed breakdown of the moves, and how to hands on correct/provide tactile guidance for your clients. For us, everyone and anyone can teach the move, but to truly understand it, its what differentiates you from everyone else. 


Our structured teaching courses are designed to provide you with the most comprehensive education and knowledge base, ranging from extras like pre & post natal variations, small apparatus teaching and more. This is why our Teacher Training Programme is 150+ hours. Good education requires time and practice and the in person days are information packed, with knowledge pearls for rehab, for fitness and for every day practice. During our In Person days, you will also learn how to teach sequences, because a Pilates class is not just teaching move after move, but instead how to flow your class. Oh, we also teach you how to class plan. 


Sounds like a great deal for your investment? We think so too. 


Join our graduates to teach locally and globally, with our internationally accredited Teacher Training Programme.

  • The SO Academy Training Programme was absolutely fantastic; and has set me up with a great reformer pilates teaching foundation and I now teach all the way on the other side of the world in UK. I would recommend training with SO without hesitation. No better way to begin your instructor journey!

  • The best decision I’ve ever made! Everything that I knew about Pilates and exercise has entirely changed. The in-depth knowledge I gained about breathing techniques, muscle engagement alignment and more has transformed my practice. The SO Academy has taught me valuable lessons that you just can’t find elsewhere. I can’t recommend it enough.

  • Nicole was very professional and thorough while still being friendly and approachable and making us feel comfortable to ask any questions at any time which she was always answered with an indepth explanation. The delivery of the course was structured well, in a way that didn’t feel too overwhelming or boring. It’s clear that Nicole is very experienced and produces a very high standard of instructors. We were provided with all the information and tools to become great instructors.
