Workshop 1: The Magic Circle of Truth

The Circle never lies — it simply tells the truth of how we move.

It’s small, it’s simple, it's potent, and it reveals everything. Join Sophia More for a lively, intelligent exploration of the Magic Circle, learning how this humble ring can centre the mind, refine stability, and illuminate the truth of your movement.

Workshop 2: The Power of Touch

A specialised classical method workshop teaching instructors and students the skilful use of hands-on adjustments and touch to cue movements with confidence.

Creative Class Planning - Building Towards Advanced Pilates

How do you create engaging, creative Pilates classes while staying true to the principles that define the method?

This workshop explores the art of class planning through thoughtful sequencing, guiding participants in building classes that progress toward an advanced Pilates exercise without losing the essence of Pilates. We’ll examine how creativity can deepen, rather than replace, the method, using purposeful movement choices that maintain clarity, flow, and intention.

Together, we’ll use one advanced Pilates exercise as a case study to explore how intelligent sequencing can prepare clients for more complex movement while remaining true to the principles of Pilates.

A central focus will be on accessibility and layering, giving instructors practical strategies for teaching mixed-level classes. Learn how to offer meaningful progressions and regressions so every participant can work toward the same movement goal while feeling appropriately challenged and supported.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your programming or deepen your understanding of intelligent class design, this workshop will provide a practical and inspiring approach to creating classes that are both innovative and authentically Pilates.
