A: Power Pilates welcomes anyone 16 or older (18 years of age for Apparatus programs) who is interested in becoming a Pilates teacher! While current and former dancers, athletes, and other movement professionals tend to be drawn to Pilates, a background in the movement arts is certainly not required. Power Pilates teachers come from all walks of life - high school/college students, retirees, performing artists, caregivers looking for a flexible career, career changers, US service members, and many more. We welcome all interested teachers regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, immigration status, religion or disability. The most important qualification is a passion for Pilates and willingness to learn!
