PILATES MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

This rigorous mentorship program has been created for interested Pilates instructors seeking to expertly work with injured clients or special populations. Misha departs from industry norm by designing a sequential program that is based on the performance of the instructor rather than the difficulty of Pilates exercise taught to a would-be client. This signifies a return to educational principle and benefits those instructors intent on not only challenging, but also developing their clients.
