2026 studio series
Like our brilliant full mentorship, this skill focussed programme is designed to fill the gaps to enrich your clientele and career alike, regardless of how you work in the industry.
The sole difference between this and our full mentorship is that we have removed the Classical Pilates apparatus training modules.
At the core of this programme are frequent and immersive lectures and workshops with Nicholas Psarros and participants of the full mentorship. A mix of sessions in-studio, on-demand and by zoom, let’s put our craft and clients front and centre. Read on!
