What it is
This weekend was purely conceived with its first event in March 2023 as a way to bring the Tasmanian Pilates community together with continuing education and raise the bar for the level of teacher training available and its offerings to the state.
In-person learning has a much-understated value in the Pilates industry with so many offerings online, yet we are mainly a face-to-face service industry and therefore certain skill sets are better nurtured in the flesh.
This industry grows stronger as a community and to share our knowledge together only elevates us even further. And this is exactly what we envision at the Pilates weekend.

“Absolutely loved Ben’s masterclasses and workshop. He has an incredible knowledge of Pilates repertoire and anatomy and teaches in an easy to understand way. I’ve loved being able to take his tips and effectively use them in my own teaching. Cant wait for his next visit.”
