What Our Graduates Say.
"The depth of Classical Pilates truly came alive in my teaching."
The programme reshaped the way I move, think, and approach teaching and Pilates. The depth of Classical Pilates came alive through the mentorship I received because everything was so personalised to me. I never felt like just another trainee.
—Sarah L., Classical Pilates Teacher at Altum Pilates and Como Shambala
"The one-to-one attention gave me clarity and confidence."
The mentorship at Altum is what drew me to choose this as my Teacher Training programme. The mentors knew my strengths and challenges, and how to push me. The personalised attention gave me clarity and confidence to finally pursue my passion for Pilates and teaching.
—Patricia C, Classical Pilates Teacher at Altum Pilates
"Switching to classical completely changed my teaching."
Coming from a contemporary background, I thought I already knew Pilates, but Altum’s bridging programme showed me the depth and logic of the Classical system. The mentorship helped me understand the exercises on an even deeper level, refine my cues, and set me apart as a teacher. It was the best decision for my career.
