Course Format


Your course begins with three hours of online training at home, and shifts into experiential labs for collaborative learning. This is followed by any of the two creatively and exclusively designed Polestar Gateway contact courses (Pilates Mat or Pilates Reformer), which will not only equip students with an introductory level of Pilates teaching skills, quickly and effectively but also form the first and resourceful component of the Polestar qualification training programme.



Students will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of each course. Please note that these courses are Intro level courses and are not qualification courses.
