Sanctuary Pilates® trained teachers are smart, creative, reliable and consistent. The Sanctuary teacher has a strong foundation in classical choreography and combines this with the keen eye of a modern instructor. Kate’s former students can be found teaching locally at Equinox and NY Sports Clubs and around the world in private practice. Look for Sanctuary trained teachers in Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica and England.

Our program is an intense combination of classroom hours, observation hours, self-practice hours and student teaching, followed by a written and practical exam.
