UPCOMING WORKSHOP

Align with your Why workshop with Jennifer Morley
Saturday, January 11, 2026
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Cost: $65

Join Jennifer Morley for a workshop that helps Pilates instructors cultivate presence as a core element of their teaching. In an industry often focused on performance and presentation, this experience invites you to turn inward—exploring presence within yourself, recognizing what gets in the way, and developing strategies to bring more awareness and authenticity to your sessions. Through reflective sharing, you’ll revisit your personal inspiration, refresh your “why,” and reconnect with what you love most about being a Pilates instructor. The workshop culminates in a co-created Pilates practice rooted in connection, mindful movement, and the transformative power of presence.

We will be moving from Tuesday November 25 – Sunday November 30 and therefore the Drexel Pilates Studio will be closed. We plan to open in the new studio the week of December 1. Be on the look out for additional details and updates!

DPTP WEEKEND 2

This weekend Apprentice 2s completed their second DPTP intensive weekend training! In weekend 2, Apprentices learn the full advanced Pilates Mat exercise series and practice teaching the flow to each other. They also review skeletal anatomy, shoulder girdle musculature and different learning styles. We even arm wrestled to embody isometric muscle contractions.

They will soon take this information into group class planning as they prepare for their last test of the term. Keep up the great work, Apprentices 🙌
