About Our Training

Our barre instructor training is designed to take you from the ground up—whether you’re brand new to teaching or already guiding movement in some way.

If you feel called to lead, to create, and to make a positive impact in people’s lives, this program will meet you there.

This is an in-studio, hands-on experience where you’ll learn how to teach barre in a way that is thoughtful, dynamic, and deeply engaging. We don’t just focus on the workout—we focus on the experience you create in the room.

The training is intentionally spread out over 5 days to give you time to integrate what you’re learning, practice, ask questions, and build confidence as you step into your role as an instructor.

You’ll be supported every step of the way by lead trainers Jen Muffett and Abbey Weston, along with a team of guest instructors who will guide you through specific areas of the training. Together, we bring over 20 years of combined teaching experience into this space.

Throughout the program, we’ll explore everything from the anatomical foundations of barre, alignment, and functional movement… to language, cueing, and building a class that flows with intention and purpose.

We’ll also dive into the creative side—like crafting a playlist that hits, building sequences that feel both effective and accessible, and developing a teaching style that is uniquely yours.

You’ll be encouraged to think both critically and creatively as you learn how to lead classes that are inclusive, adaptable, and safe for every body.

Because at the end of the day, that’s what we believe this practice is for.

This isn’t about becoming a “perfect” instructor.It’s about becoming a real one.

What You’ll Learn + Experience

We’ll cover the what, why, and how of barre—so you’re not just learning movements, but understanding how to teach them with purpose.

You’ll learn how to:

Break down foundational barre movements with clarity and intention
Understand alignment and positioning to keep students safe and strong
Offer modifications and progressions for all levels
Cue in a way that connects, supports, and lands
Build thoughtful, well-paced class flows
Use music to create energy, rhythm, and connection
Incorporate props in a way that enhances the experience
Facilitate a class from start to finish with confidence
And beyond the mechanics, we’ll focus on what really makes a class come alive:
Creating sequences that feel accessible, effective, and inspiring
Curating playlists that support and elevate your class plan
Developing your signature style and teaching voice
Leading with authenticity, presence, and confidence
Building body awareness—for you and your students

This is about more than learning how to teach a workout.

It’s about learning how to create an experience.

What’s Included:

23 hours of hands-on training
5 days of in-person training with 2 lead trainers + guest instructors
Comprehensive instructor manual
Access to our private online training group
Barre Training Certificate upon completion
Unlimited membership during training (4/18-5/7)

Prerequisites + Preparation

No prior teaching experience required—just a desire to learn, grow, and lead.

To prepare, we ask that you:

Take at least 5 barre classes total
Take 3 classes within 3 weeks of training
Take 1 class at another studio (or before training ends)

This helps you come in with a strong, embodied understanding of the work and exposure to different teaching styles.

Pre-Training + Ongoing Homework

You’ll have light pre-training and ongoing homework to support your growth as a teacher.

To get started:

Order and begin reading Science of Pilates by Tracy Ward
Take notes from 3–5 classes you attend
(what worked, what didn’t, what inspired you)
Start a playlist of at least 20 songs that move you

Simple, intentional, and designed to get you thinking like a teacher before you step up to lead.

Payment Options:

We offer a few different payment options to make this training accessible while honoring the value of the experience.

If you need support choosing the option that works best for you, reach out—we’re happy to help.

If none of these options feel doable, please don’t hesitate to call or text us. We’re always open to finding something that works.

We also hold a limited number of supported spots for those who may not otherwise be able to participate. Creating access matters to us—we believe movement is for every body, and we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive space.
