Simmone is a Polestar Pilates Mentor and Education faculty member. 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 a space for you to learn, classes you can attend for observations and self mastery along with guidance and feedback. Students should contact the Studio directly at least 1 week prior in order to organize your preferred day and time. 

​

Important: Students undertaking observation and apprentice teaching with Simmone will need to be current clients by way of weekly private mentoring sessions or if available undertaking regular classes in the studio. Observations can be undertaken during semi private or group sessions. We invite and encourage apprentice teaching only when students have completed all observation and self mastery hours.

 

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.​
