Course Testimonials

'I thoroughly enjoyed this course, it offers so much more than a basic training in how to teach Pilates matwork exercises'.
Claire Neesham, graduate December 2007

'Although the course was a lot more work than I was expecting, I enjoyed almost every part of it. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences I had professionally. We benefited from a diverse group of teachers who each had a different approach and years of experience. The support within the group was amazing and I have made friends I know I’ll have for life'.

'The Pilates In Motion teacher training course was for me, a highly educational period and a unexpected personal journey. I found it both challenging and rewarding, and I enjoyed the new information I acquired and shared with my fellow students. Anoushka's professional approach and continuous support, her dedication, and teaching style were inspirational and invaluable. I learnt so much from her and the various guest teachers who were invited to lecture and present workshops throughout the course. The teacher training gave me the knowledge and essential skills to begin my teaching career and I will always be grateful to the support I have received both during and after the course'.

'Anoushka´s teacher training is simply excellent! There is a variety of lecturers in a wide range of relevant subjects. The mix of people within our group itself made the journey very rich with plenty of material to work with and think about. The perfect balance between theory and practise maximised learning and kept it both interesting and challenging. You will need to be open minded, and be ready to work hard but no doubt about it, she offers the very best in Pilates teacher training!'

‘After graduating from Anoushka’s matwork teacher training program I decided that I wanted to continue my education with her and enrolled to Pilates in Motion bridging course (studio Pilates). In both cases I have researched other providers, as well, and found that Pilates in Motion’s course is the most comprehensive and also time compatible for me. Upon my first enrolment, although I was told by Anoushka that the course is very demanding, I did not really comprehend it until I was doing it.  There is a lot of material covered and lots of assignments to do. This is a ‘no nonsense’ course, very intensive and educational and it becomes ones journey of personal development, also learning to take responsibility for that journey. Luckily Anoushka is very professional and provides support throughout.  She is always available to provide advice and direction. From the start we were regularly provided with very comprehensive manuals for both theory and the practical part of the course. During the course we had number of visiting lecturers. It was great to have the opportunity to learn so much about human anatomy and pathology and also to discover so many approaches to teaching human movement. In retrospect although it was hard work, I wouldn’t have it any other way, I enjoyed the course so much and I thank Anoushka for her continuing support and guidance’.

'The course was enlightening, challenging and sometimes a little overwhelming, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world - a case of the journey being just as important as the end result.'

'Enrolling in the Pilates Foundation course provided by Pilates in Motion has been one of the best decisions I have made so far. It is hard work and commitment, though what I received in return is invaluable on many different levels. Anoushka is a very inspiring person and teacher. Tactful and grounded, she has a way of communicating with her students which is effective, and makes sense. The course is made of a team of professionals who are expert in their field, and curious to increase their knowledge.'

'I originally qualified to teach on a course at OCR level 2 that was recognised at a national level by the National Curriculum and Qualifications Authority. It quickly became apparent that there were gaping holes in my understanding. At which point I decided to further my training by undertaking the course delivered by Anoushka Boone.  It has utterly transformed my understanding and, as a consequence, my teaching skills.  The first short course arguably equipped me to teach in a fitness environment.  This course enables me to do that much more effectively and also to teach people with all sorts of physical challenges and thus to work remedially as well as in a sports context. The quality of tutors on the course is unparalleled featuring physiotherapists, osteopaths, experienced Pilates teachers, body workers from other disciplines such as yoga and the Alexander technique.  The range and expertise on offer delivers a truly holistic training and one where participants can absorb influences from Western as well as Eastern thought. I feel privileged to have been accepted onto this course and know that my teaching has taken a quantum leap and that it will continue to evolve using the tools and knowledge judiciously offered by Anoushka Boone.'

'When I first started the course I didn't know Anoushka and was led to it by a mere gut feeling. After the first weekend I knew I had made the right choice. Throughout the 14 months of the course I have gained much more than just knowledge. I have gained the confidence to become a teacher. Anoushka manages to provide a safe environment to ask questions, and to look at everything from different points of view.  She helped me find the kind of teacher I want to be, and encouraged me to always keep searching. Surrounded with a network of gifted teachers that come from different fields, I feel that this course truly opened my mind.'
