Already a teacher? You can elevate your skills, become more confident and masterful in your craft, and create a space for all students to be accepted, seen, and supported.
But it’s not easy. I’m sure you’re a fully scheduled human who doesn’t have a lot of time to sift through all the noise and find the support you need.
That’s why I made it my top priority to help you. Here, you will find certification programs, continuing education workshops and small group coaching opportunities to give you all the tools to become an expert in this field — whether you want to be a teacher or have been a teacher for years.
I've seen how our training programs transform lives and careers, and I want the same for you.
All the offerings you see here, are based on my personal experience as a teacher and studio owner for 14+ years, a teacher trainer, and a coach for new and experienced teachers around the world.
Every teacher that I’ve ever worked with wants at least these three things:
1. To feel confidence, mastery, and fulfillment in their teaching
2. To feel valued by their students
3. To have the kind of creative and financial freedom that allows them to do meaningful work, while also living the kind of life they want want to live.
If this rings true for you, let me help you.

How Humani Teacher Training is Changing Lives
“This program helped me confidently move toward starting my own Pilates business in a small town that doesn’t have much exposure to Pilates.”
Jess
“ I came back to Pilates after nearly 25 years away - so much has changed in those years and I was nervous. Could I do this program? Now I feel confident, exhilarated, excited about the future of my life. Possibilities are ahead and I am open to what Pilates can do for my future.”
Veronica
“It’s been a blast being able to teach so many different people and my schedule is filling up pretty quickly. I think the program prepared me in many ways, especially learning about cueing mindfulness, and questions to ask while teaching.”
Katie
“I had only been doing Pilates for about seven months when I signed up. I’ve learned something new each session and I feel like I have such a solid foundation to progress as both a student and a teacher.”
Emi
“I did not expect to feel so strong and so eager to teach other people. Now, I feel like I can see that same process starting to unfold with teaching as I did when I first started Pilates. I can feel the beginning and I am really excited about the path in front of me.”

Before I started teaching Pilates, I was caught up in the hustle of a demanding job in politics.
The highlight of my day was always my 6am Pilates class — a moment just for me, where I found clarity and strength for the rest of my day.
This routine not only offered me a reprieve and re-ignited my spark for Pilates (which I started practicing back in college), but it also led me to appreciate how incredibly important it is to connect to myself 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 just decided that I had to make it happen no matter what, so I took the leap, and signed up for my first teacher training course.
That leap completely changed my life. Now, I run my dream studio, train new teachers worldwide, and have the freedom to do what I enjoy most.
I created the Humani™️ Teacher Training program to offer the kind of program I wish existed when I was looking for my first teacher training experience. It's empowering, in-depth, accessible, and designed to help you become the embodied teacher of your dreams.
I spent years adjusting this program to help you build classes and studio spaces that align with your unique voice, values, and gifts.
