About our Master Teacher Nicole Watkins
Nicole's been teaching for almost two decades in New York and Los Angeles. She found Pilates through dance. Simply, she was looking for a way to pay the bills that wasn't food service or sitting at a desk.
After her first mat certification, she knew that wasn't enough to satisfy her thirst for knowledge of the body. While in New York, she completed a comprehensive Pilates teacher certification, and went on to study with master Pilates teachers, as well as somatic bodyworkers and kinesiologists. She has built a knowledgeable and compassionate teaching practice that honors the client in front of her rather than only looking at the Pilates repertoire.
In Los Angeles, she worked with Kaira Studios to build a studio that empowers teachers to build their businesses. Nicole has created this program to teach anatomy, Pilates exercises, and tools to build a business that helps you thrive.

What’s holding you back?
You can feel it in your bones. You want to take the leap into building a career that breaks you free of the desk, allows you to set your own schedule, AND helps others feel better.
What if I don't have time to do it?
Take a deep breath. You have time. This program is entirely online for you to do at your own pace. Even if you only have one day a week for 2 hours, you will make it through the program. Then you use those hours to start teaching.
How will I pay for it? Can I even make money teaching?
You can choose to pay for the program in full at once or in installments. For teaching, you can charge anywhere between $15-$200/hour. Lets say you set your schedule to teach 3 hours/week and charge $50/session, in 3 months you will have made the program cost back.
I'm not tech savvy. Will I be able to learn online?
Truth be told we aren't techies either. But we love the freedom online learning gives us in our lifestyle. These sessions are meant to let you learn not only with lecture but movement as well. So you can move along with Nicole - pause and re-watch anytime you need. And if the screen time overwhelms you, pace yourself. Just do an hour at a time. And take breaks.
How long until I'm an official Pilates teacher?
Typically between 3-9 months for a mat certification. Really it all depends on your schedule. How much time can you commit to the program and to your self practice (40 hrs), student teaching (40 hrs), and observation hours (25 hrs)? To receive your certification in our program, you're required to have completed Modules 1-4, receive a passing score on your test out, AND submit your completed hours.
Will Nicole be available to answer questions if I get stuck?
Of course! You won't be on your own. You can email Nicole with questions and schedule sessions with her anytime.
A letter from Nicole…
I can't wait to guide you through this program and help you discover new things about your body, your strengths AND your new path in Pilates.
Pilates and learning to move well has changed my life for the better. I know what it's like to be a creative human working an office job AND a food service job (occasionally at the same time) and then deciding to make the leap into a future that could pay my bills and be enjoyable.
It's led to a more fulfilling life than I ever could've imagined. I want that for you, too.
I want you to experience what it's like to create your own schedule, to have control over your income, and to transform people's lives by helping them build strength and move better. And I want you to build a community of clients that fuels you. Building a thriving - not just surviving - life for yourself.
If you join our Pilates mat teacher training program, you will change your life. And I look forward to being there to guide you through it all.
All my best,
Nicole Watkins
