“Completing my Pilates Reformer and Mat certification at Village Life Pilates was an outstanding and deeply rewarding experience. From start to finish, the training was incredibly thorough, precise, and thoughtfully structured. Every aspect of the Pilates method was taught with clarity and intention, including detailed attention to injuries, special conditions, pregnancy, scoliosis, and individual body needs.

“The program was led by two highly knowledgeable, experienced, and well-educated instructors whose teaching was both clear and inspiring. Each movement was carefully broken down,not only in terms of execution, but also in how to teach it effectively and safely. Every session included time for students to practice instructing, refine cueing, and gain confidence through hands-on experience.

A strong foundation in anatomy was woven throughout the course, covering muscles, bones, and movement mechanics essential for responsible and intelligent teaching. The classes were engaging, creative, fun, and extremely informative, creating an environment that encouraged curiosity and growth.

What truly set this training apart was the supportive and open atmosphere. The instructors were generous, encouraging, and genuinely invested in their students’ success. The studio provided ongoing opportunities to practice, observe other instructors, and continue learning in a real teaching environment.

This certification gave me not only deep knowledge of the Pilates method, but also the confidence, support, and inspiration to step fully into my role as an instructor. I am truly grateful for this exceptional experience at Village Life Pilates.”

“Doing the Village Life Pilates teacher training was such a meaningful experience for me. The program is incredibly well thought out and challenges you in the best way, both technically and mentally, while still feeling supportive the entire time. I never felt rushed or lost, and I always felt encouraged to ask questions and really understand the work.

What stood out most was the environment. Sasha and Dru genuinely care, the community feels real, and there’s a strong emphasis on finding your own teaching style rather than forcing one “right” way. I left feeling confident, prepared, and excited to start teaching, with a much deeper connection to my body and my practice. I’m so grateful I chose VLP and would absolutely recommend it to anyone serious about becoming a Pilates instructor.”

“The Village Life Pilates Teacher Training Program exceeded every expectation I had. Learning from veteran Pilates Instructors with decades of experience made the training incredibly rich, professional and hands-on from day one. We studied Pilates philosophy, the classical series, mat work, and reformer in a way that was both technical and practical. The program didn’t just teach exercises, it taught us how to truly understand movement, observe bodies, give effective cues, and make meaningful corrections with confidence. What I appreciated most was how supported we were throughout the process. Each module built upon the last, helping me develop not only my knowledge, but also my presence as a teacher, and my own voice. By the end of the training, I felt equipped with the tools, confidence, and experience to lead clients safely and effectively. I am leaving this program feeling inspired, empowered, and genuinely excited for what’s next. I finally feel ready to branch out, teach and share the Pilates method with others. I couldn’t be more grateful for the education, mentorship, and community Village Life created throughout this journey.”

“I’m so grateful for my time with Village Life Pilates. Dru and Sasha both took the time to understand each of our starting points and goals. They were patient and understanding, and every concept was taught so clearly. They were also generous with their space, always giving us a home base to practice in.

My highlight was auditing one of Dru’s classes and having her spontaneously invite me to teach a few exercises. I could feel her belief in me, which helped me grow and gain more confidence in my own teaching skills.

I’d recommend this course to anyone looking for both a comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training and a community that values uplifting and supporting one another, whether that’s instructor to client or instructor to student. This was one of my favorite learning experiences.”
