Business Panel

As Pilates continues to evolve, so do the expectations placed on instructors. With new teaching styles, changing client needs and a rapidly expanding industry, is Pilates education keeping pace?

Bringing together leading educators and industry voices, this panel explores how teacher training must evolve, from foundational knowledge and practical teaching skills to continuing education, mentorship and career development.

Attendees will gain practical insights into identifying gaps in their own education, choosing professional development that builds relevant skills, and understanding what studios should look for when hiring and mentoring instructors. The discussion will also explore how educators and studio owners can better prepare teachers for long-term, sustainable careers in Pilates.
