Simmone is a Polestar Pilates Mentor and Education faculty member and an approved student workplace provider for Pilates ITC. Learning is an autonomous process.  It is expected that students will organise and drive their learning. We are here to facilitate your learning by providing feedback, a space for you to teach and observe and classes for you to attend for self mastery. Our Studio sessions have set days and times. They are semi private (1.3 or 1.4) Studio, Reformer and and mat. Students should contact the Studio directly at least 1 week prior in order to organize your preferred day and time. 

​

Important: Students undertaking observation, self mastery and apprentice teaching will need to either undertake paid mentoring sessions with us which can be 1.1 or shared by 2 students at a time, or if places are available book into 1 paid class a week per term.

 

Why do we only work with students undertaking a PAA approved course?  As the Pilates industry is not regulated, there are many Pilates teacher training courses available. Whilst it may be tempting to gain a certification over a weekend and at less financial investment, in the end you will not come away with a Nationally Recognised Certification or the skills that are required to work with clients in a safe and knowledge based setting. We suggest consulting with the Pilates Association Australia for a list of current approved Pilates Teacher Training courses.

​

Why do we value mentoring student teachers? When completing her Pilates teacher training, Simmone found the struggle to find a mentor that was local in the regions was real. Becoming a qualified mentor with Polestar education has been a chance to give other regional students access to support, whilst encouraging completing industry recognised Pilates certifications. Our Studio is so very proud to be able to facilitate student teacher learning with guidance in a knowledgeable, fully equipped and safe space.​
