Pilates Teacher Training

Train for a Career as a Pilates Instructor

World Class Independent Pilates Education in Seattle

Advanced Seminar
Our immersive program produces Pilates teachers of the highest caliber: Instructors who know the work in their own bodies and are fully prepared to teach professionally.

Lori Coleman-Brown produces authoritative Pilates educational offerings to advance the work taught to her by Joe Pilates protegeé Romana Kryzanowska. She is our primary resource and advocate of the Pilates Method, and she provides global educational outreach to other Pilates studios and the public.

We’re unabashed Pilates traditionalists, yet we avoid being dogmatic and formulaic. We find satisfying creative space within the Pilates Method to get transformative results.

Director of Education, Lori Coleman-Brown has trained new instructors for decades. She manages our comprehensive program which is carefully tailored for individuals in small annual cohorts.

What a Student Can Expect:

  • Small Class Sizes (Max 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio)
  • Traditionally patterned hands-on training with veteran instructors
  • Exposure to a steady stream of clients who have real issues and goals
  • Training in the ancillary skills important to a successful Pilates career, such as customer service and apparatus maintenance
  • Mentoring by Lori Coleman-Brown and feedback from other Atlas Pilates Staff Instructors who are available to answer questions
  • Opportunities to participate in our many educational, community and industry events

Comprehensive Teacher Training takes about a year and consists of practical training on all of the apparatus with real clients and academic coursework provided in our knowledge-rich and supportive working studio environment.

Lori Coleman-Brown Workshop

The four main elements of the program:

  1. Seminars – Three required weekend long workshops: Fundamentals, Intermediate and Advanced
  2. Practicum – Observation, assisting and practice teaching
  3. Academics – classroom, tutoring, homework and quizzes
  4. Testing– three written and practical exams

Material is presented logically and progressively in context in the working studio. Students can expect to work at least 800 hours including 150 Hours of Pilates workouts. Annual admissions are selective, there are prerequisites and a required physical assessment.

Notice: Class of 2023-24 Enrollment

We’re in the process of finalizing curriculum approval by the Workforce Board and we’ll offically publish the new Program Catalog (Volume 8) soon. In the meantime, it’s important to let us know if you are interested in enrolling. This summer will be a great time to get in shape with workouts with Lori and our teacher trainers. A link to the prior catalog is posted below.
