From the team behind SO Fitness

certified and accredited pilates instructor courses

why should you learn from The SO Team? with more than 15 years combined of pilates instructing experience, what makes us different to other pilates instructor courses is that our courses are designed and taught by our master instructor and head trainer who is a musculoskeletal physiotherapist with years of clinical experiences. Learn how to teach clients who are injury free but also learn skills to adapt for injuries, pregnancy, movement biomechanics and more.

'The SO Academy changes my life!'

by Rika O.

The SO Academy changed my life. Changed the way I move, think and learn. Nicole has a brilliant way of pushing you out of your comfort zone from day dot, giving you the guidance and support while knowing exactly the perfect place to figure it out on your own. The journey has transformed the way I view movement and the body and motivates me to provide this experience for those who take my classes. I cannot recommend this enough.
