During this enrollment period, your course will come with a 1-year teacher inner circle membership to LIVE office hours with me (Maria), at the most discounted rate. 

What’s the Inner Circle?

If you sign up for the course during this enrollment period, your course automatically comes with a 1-year Teacher Inner Circle membership, giving you access to LIVE office hours every quarter with me, Maria. 

My personal experience as a new teacher, showed me exactly what’s needed for you as a brand new teacher, and that’s support.

The live coaching sessions while you’re going through the program is the kind of live support I wish I had when I was going through my own teacher training program 14 years ago.

(That’s right, although the program is self-paced and online, you will have live access directly to me throughout the process.)

You’ll also get the recordings of office hours you attended (or missed) for the whole year, so you can watch and re-watch as much as you want.

But you may still have some doubts, like…

⮕ But do I even know enough about Pilates to do it?

⮕ Would anyone ever take my class?

I believe ANYONE who wants to teach is capable of being a teacher.

Everyone has something unique to offer. Your unique life experiences and voice will help you become an exceptional teacher, or studio owner, you just need the tools to get there.

What do I need to know before joining?

Like any online learning experience, our online courses are for you if are able and willing to:

Navigate online experiences

Although we made sure that the program is easy to follow, you need to be comfortable with learning through a virtual format, including watching videos, as well as accessing and downloading PDFs.

Make time for practice hours

Like any teaching program, you have to make time for practice teaching to get the most out of it.

Take ownership over your training

If you want a career as a teacher or studio owner, you have to take ownership over the teacher training process. This means creating a schedule and an environment for yourself as a student, where you can focus on the course to get the most out of it.

If I can do it, so can you. 

I went from being a Pilates-obsessed student with a day job that made me feel a little “less me” every day I showed up to work — to a owning a business that makes me my own boss, helps me build my financial future, and gives me the freedom to pursue projects that bring meaning and joy to my life. Like you, I started with a Mat Pilates certificate and never looked back.

A Little More About Me

Before I started teaching Pilates, I was caught up in the hustle of a demanding job at the State Capitol, relying heavily on caffeine to get through long hours. I also felt a huge weight and a shift in many aspects of my personal life — pulling me in a whole new direction. As a generally driven and focused person, I felt lost.

In this chaos, the highlight of my day was always my 6am Pilates class — a moment just for me, where I found clarity.

This routine not only offered me a reprieve and sparked an interest in Pilates, but led me to appreciate how incredibly important it is to connect to yourself through movement. So, I began thinking about signing up for a teacher training course.

I had idea where it would lead, or how I would make it happen with my busy schedule.

But I knew one thing. I NEEDED to make a change because I knew there was something bigger and more important waiting for me — and spending my waking hours doing work that left me unfulfilled was not it.

So I took the leap and signed up for my first teacher training course.

Running my dream studio, owning the building that shelters this space, training new teachers all over the world, and having time and the freedom to do things I enjoy in my personal and professional life.

I founded the Humani Teacher Training program because I wanted to create the kind of program that I wish existed when I was going through teacher training.

One that is not only completely flexible and accessible so anyone with a wifi connection can do it, but can also help you become an embodied teacher of your dreams.

I spent years creating, running and adjusting this program, so that you get a training course that will help you build the kind of classes, studio spaces, and brand that aligns with your unique voice, values, and gifts.
