OVERVIEW
The Educator’s ROI Weekend is a
3-day intensive with 23
hours of education designed for the next generation of
Pilates teachers and studio owners. ROI means Return on Investment—and this
weekend is built to be a direct return on the time, energy, and
money you invest in your craft. Inspired by Joseph Pilates’
Return to Life, this is
not just another continuing education weekend—it’s an immersive,
skills-and-strategy experience packed with learning and
immediate
implementation so you leave with tools you can use with
clients on Monday.
Flexible payment options
available (3 plans).
