Why train with us? Here is what past trainees have said about their experience…

“Undergoing my Pilates Apparatus certification at The Pilates Space was one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did I receive an extensive education, but with patience, intelligence, humor, and innovation, Shannon and Ryoko prepared me to teach Pilates in a safe and effective way to anyone- whether they be high-level athletes, elderly, injured, or simply needing more daily motion and motivation. I am truly lucky to have studied with practitioners who care about the holistic well-being of their clients. If you’re wondering whether or not to enroll in this training, I strongly encourage you to sign up!”-F.K.

As teacher trainers, both Ryoko’s and Shannon’s experience and unique gifts as teachers were in the spotlight. Both of them encouraged & highlighted the importance, to us as trainees, of finding our own voice as teachers. What can we bring to clients in a non-judgmental & confidence building environment? By supporting & bringing positive energy into each class-we continue to reinforce the basic principles of Pilates. The comprehensive manuals and Q&A sessions provided ways to help us plan, use verbal & touch cues and how to enhance any client’s body awareness. Ryoko and Shannon still find ways to be available for detailed questions and provide supportive answers as we continue our personal Pilates journeys. Being taught the core principles, how to stay present and connect to clients will build confidence in anyone who takes The Pilates Space Teacher Training. “ -S.L.

" As a participant of the 2022 Teacher Training program at The Pilates Space, I consider it the utmost privilege to have studied under the tutelage of Master Instructors Shannon Vorce and Ryoko Kudo. Through their guidance, careful instruction, and depth of knowledge, I found an acceptance and knowledge of my own body.  As a newly certified Pilates Instructor, it is my great joy to pass on that knowledge and inspire others to evolve." -N.S.
