Part B — Motivation & Openness

We welcome instructors from all backgrounds. These questions help us understand your expectations.

Why we ask these questions: The Skillful Teaching Integration Training is about fundamentally refining how you teach. Participants who benefit most arrive with genuine curiosity and a willingness to examine their existing habits.

What do you hope to improve as a teacher? *

What is currently your biggest challenge as a Pilates instructor? *

Tell us about a moment when you changed your mind about something you previously believed was correct in your teaching. *

This is one of the most important questions. Be specific.

Anything else you would like us to know?

Part C — Foundation Knowledge

Eight questions, answered in your own words.

Please read before starting: This is not a teaching exam — there are no multiple-choice options. We simply want to see that you already have a solid Pilates foundation to build on. Answer in your own words; brief, clear answers are fine. A 20-minute countdown timer will be visible. If the time runs out, your answers are submitted automatically and your assessment is complete.

When you are ready, click below. The timer will begin immediately.
