Do You Want to Be a Pilates Instructor?

We currently offer various STOTT PILATEStm courses, including Intensive Mat Plus (IMP), Intensive Reformer (IR), Intensive Cadillac Chair & Barrels (ICCB), as well as a variety of STOTT PILATEStm Workshops for continuing education.

Our graduates are employed throughout Singapore and Asia - many have gone on to set up their own studios and a few have even gone on to be Instructor Trainers around Asia!

Who Can Take A Pilates Instructor Course?

Students on our courses are drawn from the following backgrounds:

  • Enthusiasts who want to change career or work part-time
  • Gym Instructors/Personal Trainers
  • Physiotherapists and other Physical Clinicians looking to add to their knowledge of rehabilitation possibilities
  • Retiring or semi-retired Dancers and Movement Professionals
  • Pilates Enthusiasts who want to learn more

If you are interested in a career as a Pilates Instructor you can work independently as a Certified Mat Pilates Instructor or you can go further to become a Reformer Instructor at a studio or gym, or even a Fully Certified Instructor qualified to teach clients on all the Pilates equipment.

Many of our graduates decide to buy a Reformer or other equipment and work from home teaching just a few clients daily.

It is beneficial for personal trainers to take the Intensive Mat-Plus course in order to add to their skill set for working with clients, especially clients with postural issues.

Who Teaches the Courses?

All our courses and workshops are taught by our in house Program Director 'Ole' Eugenio or by Instructor Trainer Morven Macleod.

Where are the Courses Held?

Most of our courses are run at our Regency House studio on Penang Road in Singapore. Occasionally we host courses at KK Women's and Children's Hospital, in Bangkok, KohSamui, Brunei, India and other locations on request.
