Group Matwork Classes by Apprentices
In all our years offering our Pilates Teacher Training programs, the greatest concern that our Trainees have is in finding practice clients for their teaching hours. As such, BodyTree Academy is launching its Apprenticeship program to provide our trainees a platform and safe space to kickstart their teaching journey.
We emphasize safety and respect as we know that each trainee HAS to start somewhere (we ourselves were all new teachers once) and we are looking for individuals who share this same spirit of education and growth to support them in their classes!
Apprentice Matwork Classes
This is a series of 10, 55 minute Pilates Matwork group class taught by our BodyTree Academy Pilates Teacher Trainees. These classes are small group classes, limited to a maximum of 5, with a minimum of 4 pax to start the class. By attending our apprentice-led classes, you play a vital role in supporting the growth and development of aspiring Pilates instructors. You become a part of their journey as they gain practical teaching experience and refine their abilities.
Group Matwork Classes by Senior Pilates Teachers
These classes are taught by Senior Pilates Teachers and are open to the public to attend.
As these classes are designed for BTA Trainees to clock in their Physical Training hours under our Senior Teachers, these classes are not beginner friendly. If you wish to attend, the goal is to either test if you are suitable to take up a teacher training or if you are an experienced practitioner looking for a more detailed class.
Private with Apprentice
These are customised 1-1 sessions with our apprentices pursuing their Reformer or Comprehensive Teacher Training certification. You have an option to pay for a trial session, and if you wish to pursue our packages they are sold as a package of 10 sessions.
Testimonials
"I love how the training was split into 2 groups to learn the basic pieces and then brought together as 1 big group for the teaching activities. It really helped having a smaller group to learn and then a bigger group to teach. The overall delivery of the whole course and how prepared and responsive everyone was made the experience so memorable. Priscilla has been such a great mentor for all of us, and was so good with explaining each piece with so much attention to detail. I have so many takeaways from this training, and will definitely implement what I learned here when I work with my clients in PT and group classes. Thank you again for such a memorable experience! "
