We’re very excited to present another season of our always popular Pilates Curriculum Seminars!
Produced and Presented By
Lori Coleman-Brown
Explore the Pilates curriculum while deepening your understanding of principles and developing your teaching skills.
Always loads of fun, there are lots of Pilates workouts, and time to make connections and build community. Each immersive weekend event ramps up over four days making it easier to absorb all of the information.
Participants travel from around the world to attend these annual seminars because they provide a rich form of Pilates education grounded in the comprehensive system with real bodies and real teaching.
Our learning environment invites engagement, curiosity, structure, responsibility, and joy in the work.
The Seminar Cycle is designed to support an ongoing layered relationship with the Pilates system through study, practice, observation, and participation. We explore how to teach Pilates as a living system designed to help people develop themselves through movement, concentration, coordination, and self-awareness.
Winter: Intermediate
January 7th-10th, 2027
Thurs Jan 7 1:00-2:30 PM
Pilates Lab with Lori Coleman-Brown
$125 Max 10
The Pilates Lab is a space to practice, experiment, observe, and learn through doing. Participants move through their own Pilates practice while Lori circulates through the room offering feedback, touch, guidance, and individualized support. We then come together to study the living application of Pilates principles through the real work that unfolded in the room. Using actual moments, bodies, and exercises, we’ll explore the deeper intelligence behind the answer experienced teachers know well: “It depends.” The goal is not better rule-following, but expanding our ability to perceive, reason, and respond.
Fri Jan 8 3:00-5:00 PM
Winter Workshop: Program Design, Plans and Pivots
$150.00 Max 35 in-person or ✋ Zoom
Presented by Danielle Begorre
Keep your clients safe and moving with confidence. In this workshop, Danielle will teach you how to simplify your approach and focus on what your clients can do, rather than what they can’t. You’ll gain practical strategies for adapting sessions on the fly and pivoting effectively when faced with unexpected injuries or physical limitations. You’ll leave understanding the “why” behind your choices, giving you the tools to make quick, confident decisions that keep your clients safe, successful, and having fun.

The Intermediate level curriculum forms the essential core of a Pilates practice, encompassing the exercises that we teach every day and revisit over and over again. Learn to teach your clients healthy practices that accelerate their realization of Pilates’ transformative potential for vitality and rejuvenation. Build on foundational skills, refine abilities, and establish healthy habits to ensure your client’s progress and maximize the benefits of their Pilates practice.

Spring Workshop: Beyond Stronger – Advancing in the Pilates System
$150.00 Max 35 in-person or ✋ Zoom
Presented by Teresa Shupe
Joseph Pilates said to “Know thyself,” and he reminded us that true mastery starts with something as simple and profound as learning how to breathe properly. Progressing to Advanced isn’t just about doing more faster, it’s about applying the method to yourself so you discover the unique benefits of each exercise.
In this workshop, you will develop the confidence to go inward and the patience to build deep self-knowledge. Together, we will dig deeper into the foundation you already have, finding hidden value and insights from the information you already know, in order to demystify the work and unlock your personal advancement.
Sat, Apr 3rd & Sun, Apr 4th 9AM-5PM
Advanced Curriculum Seminar: Expanding Capacity and Choice
Presented by Lori Coleman-Brown
$675 Max 35
The Advanced Seminar introduces advanced Pilates material through selected exercises, themes, and variations from the classical system. Rather than covering every exercise, we study chosen examples thoroughly, giving participants a layered approach to how they are done, taught, and related to the interconnected Pilates system.
Designed for teachers and practitioners of various experience levels, this seminar focuses on the training needed to build safety, structure, control, and readiness for rigorous work. We will also explore the teaching behind the training: why we choose an exercise, how we prepare a client, what we look for, and when we adjust.
Participants will practice advanced material on the major apparatus, learning to identify key shapes, skills, supports, and progressions to build confidence, clarity, and respect for the work as part of a system that develops awareness, strength, power, endurance, and intelligent choice.

These Seminars are open to Pilates teachers who’ve studied in other reputable programs, as well as individual Pilates practitioners who have sufficient experience. All prospective enrollment is subject to approval by Lori Coleman-Brown.
Our mixed-level learning environment is central to the experience, as more experienced teachers can probe with greater depth and clarity, while newer teachers and students bring curiosity, fresh perspectives and a beginner’s mindset. This approach grounds seasoned teachers in their clients’ challenges, while allowing aspiring teachers to absorb layers of material, confident that deeper understanding will unfold over time.
