Inner Circle Membership

One Year of Live Monthly Group Coaching with Maria and Team

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

What’s the Inner Circle?

If you sign up for the course with a one time payment during the early enrollment period, your course automatically comes with a 1-year Teacher Inner Circle membership, giving you access to quarterly LIVE office hours 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 monthly coaching session 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?

⮕ Can I really go from my job as “x” to teaching Pilates for a living?

⮕ What if I don’t know anything about the body or anatomy?

⮕ Would anyone ever take my class?

⮕ Can you even do a teacher training program online?

⮕ Will I be able to get a job after completing this program?

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.

Access to Pilates equipment

If you want to start teaching on the Reformer, you’ll have to eventually practice on the Reformer. 

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 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 by taking the first step and enrolled in a teacher training without knowing exactly where it would take me.

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 no 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.

🚫 No more being afraid to step into this next chapter of your life, even though you’ve been pulled to do it

 FAQs

  • We’ve graduated students who’ve become teachers with years AND only months of experience.

    Bottom line: it’s all about how much you put into the course, how much time you dedicate to the work, and how committed you are. You can’t fast track the time, but you can dedicate time to practicing what you’re learning in this course.

  • Yes! Maria will do group coaching at set times and will record those sessions, giving you access to the recordings for a year.

  • Results are not guaranteed because they depend on YOUR application of the course material. Please reach out to info@humanistidios.com PRIOR to enrollment if you have questions, as we DO NOT OFFER REFUNDS!

  • We’ve had students successfully land jobs at big corporate gyms, small private studios all over the country. Most studios and gyms will ask you for a certification as well as an audition interview.

  • You have 12-months from the date of your course purchase to successfully complete your exam to receive your certification.

  • I cannot give you an exact estimate because it will depend on your schedule, speed, and a variety of other factors, including, how often you practice teaching, and whether you’re teaching both Mat and Reformer or just one or the other. If you get down to business, this course will take you 4 months to complete. If you invest in this project on the weekly basis, you can start teaching friends and family right away, and then others roughly 4 months in.

  •  After helping hundreds of students from from student to teacher, start their own businesses or work at corporate and boutique studios alike, we are confident that the education that we are offering is solid and valuable if you DO THE WORK. For this reason, we do not offer refunds.

I know this is a BIG decision, and it's normal to feel nervous! The end result could be LIFE CHANGING (like it has been for many of my past students).

But here's what I will say: If you desire to help more people and do work that lights you up for a living, and you're willing to put in the work - that is ALL you need. 

I'll help you with the rest.
