Want to join our team?
We host auditions every July and January for those interested in joining our team. As part of the process, you'll submit two short videos: one demonstrating and cueing your favorite exercise (it doesn't have to be Pilates-related!) so we can get a feel for your personality and coaching style, and a second sharing why you're interested in becoming an instructor with us. We're always looking for passionate, motivated individuals who are excited to grow within our community.
