Hebe's Story
Say hi to Hebe Littlewood. She came to Move Union with a dance background but had never taught Pilates. She wasn’t even sure she could go full-time- she figured it would be a side hustle. Within two weeks of qualifying, she had over 25 hours of teaching per week, had already paid back the full cost of her training, and was turning work away. Today she teaches Pilates full-time.
That kind of result starts with one decision. And that decision starts with clarity.
This workshop is where you get it.

The hardest part of becoming a Pilates instructor isn’t the training. It’s the decision to start.
Most people sit on this dream for months — sometimes years — because they can’t get straight answers to completely reasonable questions. Does online learning really work? Is the anatomy going to be way over my head? Could I even do this?
So they keep Googling. Keep comparing. Keep waiting for the “right time” that never quite arrives.
That’s exactly why this workshop exists.
It’s a proper, practical introduction to the Pilates teaching world — built to give you real clarity, real confidence, and a genuine taste of what great online training looks and feels like. So you can stop guessing and take a no-risk step.

Sound Familiar?
This is for you if you're done with
> Spending hours comparing Pilates certifications and still wondering what's right for you
> Wanting to teach but talking yourself out of it because you’re not sure you’re “good enough” yet
> Watching other instructors build careers you know you’re capable of - and wondering why you haven’t started
> Feeling like the full certification price tag is too big a risk without knowing more first
> Loving Pilates in class but having no idea how to translate that into something you could actually teach
Imagine if this was you....

Side Hustle You Love
“This program taught me a great foundation, as well as built on existing knowledge to a deep level of understanding. I really loved the course and will highly recommend it to everyone I know who is interested in becoming a Pilates instructor.”

Their results came from completing the full certification
- and it all started with a single decision to take the first step.
MODULE 1
Pilates Foundations Explained
Every great Pilates instructor starts here. This module gives you the foundational principles that underpin every exercise you've ever done in class - the WHY behind the movement, not just the what. Short, clear videos you can watch at your own pace, around your schedule.
By the end: you'll understand what makes Pilates, Pilates - and why that matters when you're the one at the front of the room.
MODULE 2
Anatomy Made Easy
Think anatomy sounds intimidating? This module is taken directly from the Move Union Mat Teacher Training and is designed to show you exactly how approachable it really is. Walk through a real lesson, test your knowledge, and come away with a solid understanding of how the body moves - and why it matters for teaching safe, effective classes.
By the end: anatomy will feel like something you can actually learn - not something to be afraid of.
MODULE 3
Mat Pilates Masterclass
Take a full Mat Pilates class led by Ajia Lee Forster — nearly 20 years in the industry, former Equinox trainer, and the educator behind Move Union. This isn't a highlights reel. It's a complete class, taught in the contemporary Move Union style, so you can experience exactly what great Pilates instruction looks and feels like from the inside.
No equipment needed. Yours to keep and revisit.
By the end: you'll know whether the Move Union teaching style is right for you — and have a benchmark for what great instruction actually looks like.
MODULE 4
Teach Your First Flow
This is where it gets real. You'll learn the Move Union cueing formula - how to speak, guide and correct like an instructor - then apply it to four foundational mat exercises, each broken down with video, cues and teaching notes. Three practice exercises help you build confidence putting it all together before you lead your first flow.
Everything you need is in your included manual: all four exercises, full cue sheets and teaching tips to refer back to again and again.
By the end: you'll have taught your first Pilates flow. Not watched one. Taught one.

Aretha quit her corporate job for Pilates
Aretha Hinchcliffe was working in a corporate job when she decided to start exploring Pilates as a career path. She transitioned gradually — starting part-time while building her confidence. Today she teaches at top boutique studios, has become a master teacher trainer, and is currently an apprentice mentor helping other instructors find their path.
Hi! I’m Ajia Lee Forster
I have spent nearly 20 years in the Pilates and fitness industry — training elite athletes, delivering programs for Equinox in London, and mentoring hundreds of instructors across the USA, UK, Canada and Asia. I have written and delivered teacher training programs on almost every level.
But the thing I am most passionate about is this: making the path to teaching Pilates feel achievable for people who are ready for it. Because I know from experience that the biggest barrier is never ability — it’s clarity.
This workshop is built to give you exactly that.
