Not Included

  • All teacher training in the Pilates industry has a personal practice component. Be sure to understand what this commitment is as some schools either hide it or charge double the course fee for individual sessions with their ‘master’ teachers.

    Our course does require 200 hours of you own Pilates practice to be completed before you test and graduate. Those hours can be classes, sessions or study sessions with fellow RPC students and can be done anywhere you feel the most comfortable so long as the teacher is comprehensively certified to teach Pilates (or a fellow student).

    It’s important also to note that it’s very common that schools require you do the exercises without adaptation. We not only allow but encourage you to do what’s best for you as the expression of the exercise you are learning.

  • We also require you to observe and practice teach. You can do that anywhere you’d like if you observe comprehensively certified teachers or RPC apprentices. However, RPC hosts offer their students opportunities as well. Each host studio has its requirements for completing those hours and there may be a small fee - be sure to ask about your host studio observation and practice requirements. We do our best to negotiate the lowest rates or free options for our students - our goal is to remove any barriers to practice and graduation that we can.
