Physiotherapist-led education so you can safely manage any client: post-injury, pre/postnatal, athletes, older adults, chronic conditions

How to confidently teach any style of Pilates mat, reformer, or full studio equipment across any group size or setting

The Body Form Education Learning Model
Built for Results
Our blended delivery model combines:
-
Self-Paced Online Theory: 16 sequenced modules via our Kajabi learning portal with video lectures, interactive quizzes, case studies, and reflection prompts. Learn anywhere, anytime, at your own pace.
-
Hands-On Practical Training: Small-group practical days (max 1:10 ratio) in person or via Zoom, 100% focused on cueing, programming, and real-time teaching.
-
Apprentice Hours: Structured observation, self-practice, and practice teaching so you graduate with real teaching mileage.
-
Final Assessments: Written class plans + practical teaching videos to prove your competence in real-world scenarios.
Why This Works Better Than Fully In-Person or Fully Online
-
No mental fatigue: You’re not stuck in a studio for 10 hour lecture days, the theory is broken into short, digestible lessons you can pause, rewind, and revisit.
-
Better retention: Matches adult attention span research (10–20 mins), so knowledge sticks.
-
Supports all learning styles: Written manuals, visual slides, video lectures, active recall quizzes, and hands-on practice.
-
Neurodiversity friendly: Flexible pacing, replayable content, and multi-modal delivery support ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and other learning differences.
-
Never miss content: All theory lives in your portal for the entire course = no risk of missing a key concept.
-
Arrive prepared: Theory is completed before practical, so in-person days are pure application, not lectures.

Olivia. G
"For both my mat and reformer course and honestly wouldn't have gone with anyone else. She created such a welcoming, non-judgemental environment where everyone felt like they belonged. There was never any sense of intimidation or pressure, just genuine support and encouragement.
She also explained things clearly - making sure you walk away with a proper understanding and not just a surface-level answer. No question ever felt silly or too much and she always took the time to ensure we felt confident in what we were learning.
So grateful to have been taught by her !!'
Kira. G
"I recently completed my studio equipment training with Kira-leigh at Body Form Physio. I have found this course the most informative training I’ve received in my Pilates career. Kira-leigh is supportive enthusiastic and has a keen eye for detail, being able to train with her has added so much knowledge to my teaching abilities. Not only am I now confident, teaching studio equipment Pilates, but I also have the knowledge and skills to be able to modify for injured clients or pre-and postnatal clients. If you’re looking for a sign to do your studio equipment training with Body Form take this as your sign.'
Grace. S
"I recently had the privilege of completing my Studio Equipment Pilates Teacher Training at Body Form with Kira-Leigh, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. It was the most comprehensive and valuable training I’ve undertaken, building on my physiotherapy background and equipping me to apply clinical equipment principles for both rehabilitation and functional movement training. Kira-Leigh is highly passionate, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, it was inspiring to learn from her. The small group setting, alongwith her support, insight, and teaching style made me feel confident to teach Studio Equipment Pilates. I highly recommend Body Form for anyone looking to upskill or further develop their pilates teaching in a hands on, empowering environment!'
Felipe. D
"I’ve just completed my Pilates Equipment Instructor Course at Body Form and couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The physiotherapist-led trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about Pilates. The studio provides a professional and welcoming environment that made learning both effective and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to become a confident and well-prepared instructor.'
Alex. M
"After nearly four years in this industry, I was looking to upskill and this course was exactly what I needed.
The online delivery was a huge bonus, especially being based in South Australia. The content was laid out clearly and logically, with a great balance between structured video sessions and the freedom to work through the theory independently.
One of the standout aspects for me was how every exercise was presented with injury, prenatal, and postnatal modifications something I hadn’t seen in any of the other courses I’d looked into. Kira Leigh, the course facilitator, was incredible knowledgeable, approachable, and really engaging to learn from."
Jen. OC
"I completed my Reformer and Mat certification with Kira-Leigh as my Head Instructor.
Kira-Leigh is amazing at breaking down movement, making it very easy to learn how to teach. She knows the body so well that her teaching gives you the knowledge to vary exercises to fit the needs for different clients.
She was also extremely supportive and flexible when one of my parents became ill during the course.'
