I see you, Pilates Instructor.
You became a Pilates Instructor because you wanted to share the work that you fell in love with.
It’s work that truly lights you up.
Since certifying you’ve learnt all the transitions, springs and foot bar positions – you know your repertoire inside out.
But still, the TEACHER in you needs more.
You know the kind of teacher you want to be….but something feels missing and another weekend course on low chair progressions or understanding scoliosis is not going to solve it.
And as it currently stands:
◽Your teaching has started to feel a little stale even though you love the work
◽You’re teaching to your capacity yet you’re left feeling unfulfilled
◽Even though you have your niche - you feel you need sustainable practices to keep showing up for your clients
◽You’re unmotivated to do ANOTHER weekend course on repertoire
◽You have an inner knowing that teaching IS for you but where you are right now - it’s not cutting the mustard
You want to move forward and grow your Pilates business yet you’re unsure what direction you want you take
It feels like there is some sort of industry ‘secret’ to maintaining inspiration within a teaching career.
How do all these other teachers do it, make a successful living and not burn out?
Hi I’m Andy,
I’ve been teaching for 20 years in the contemporary and classical Pilates worlds.
I love teaching fledgling and seasoned teachers how to navigate the Pilates industry, its ups and downs while experiencing massive job fulfillment and getting booked solid.
I want you to IMAGINE -
Feeling great about your professional future of teaching Pilates for decades to come.
Having a crystal clear, exciting and inspiring plan about what your next step in your career is.
Loving teaching, the ups and downs of it and knowing whatever comes at you that you can handle it.
Feeling energetically lighter from teaching a full shift AND having tangible, take away skills for the moments when you do feel energetically taxed.
Standing in the quiet confidence and satisfaction that you have a plan which serves your greatest teaching desires whatever they might be.
Spending every day doing (and getting paid well for) work you love, knowing in your bones that you can handle anything your clients bring your way.
I have the answer for you…

To take you from tired, depleted and running on empty you’ll delve deep into the richness of the Pilates industry to infuse your teaching heart - here’s how:
Module 1: Pilates & Boundaries.
What are YOUR non negotiable boundaries that you need to have your teaching thrive? What do we do when we have difficult ‘seasons’ in our life such a divorce or grief and need to keep showing up for others? Learn the simplest and most effective ways to add ease and simplification into your business model.
Module 2: Pilates & Nervous System Regulation.
Create a rock solid foundation and awareness to manage survival mode and any burnout that might be circling. Learn tangible, takeaway strategies to employ when you feel yourself less than thriving
Module 3: Pilates & Values.
Why do you teach? What motivates you to continue? Why is the work of Joe Pilates important to you? Step into the unquestionable knowledge that you are on the right path for you.
Module 4: Pilates: Choreography or healing art?
Come to know the moment where Pilates stops being choreography and spills over into a healing art where your clients receive your mental, emotional and energetic care. Learn who this ‘art’ is suitable for and how to pitch it accordingly.
Module 5: Pilates & its styles.
We all know the classical lineage but what about contemporary? How did contemporary evolve and why does it get bashed so much? Learn from a seasoned contemporary teacher about the beauty and personal spirit that can be infused into individual class planning.
Module 6: Pilates & modifications.
When is a modification necessary? How can it be justified? Learn when Pilates stops being movement for the heart, soul and mind and can get reduced to ‘tricks’?
Module 7: Pilates & History
The method is over 100 years old now. Do we care about Joe Pilates, who he was and what had him develop Contrology? How does it serve us now to know the evolution of the work and WHAT is the real truth about its origins?
Module 8: Pilates and ‘Return To Life’.
Joe wrote Return To Life in 1945. What are the central tenets that are relevant to teachers today? What is lost through not reading it? What is gained by a teacher in the 21st century reading it?
“I've had the pleasure of teaching alongside Andy MacDonald for many years. We worked together at one of London's very first Classical Pilates studios, then, both feeling we needed to up our Pilates-teaching game, trained at the world-renowned The Pilates Center Boulder, CO for a full year. Andy's an incredibly talented teacher and "see-er" of what's going on in the body. I'm constantly in awe of her ability to take individuals from woe to go in so many ways - movement capacity, digestive health, mindset, stress relief...this is exactly the same in her workshops. She brings an energy, lightness and creates community so effortlessly. Her teaching experience is exceptional and she's constantly challenging herself to learn more about movement and the human body. When you get to work with someone who is this good, they really stand out.”
- JAYNE SMITH
I have hosted several workshops of Andy’s at my Pilates studio and loved them every time. The workshops are always very well received and we received great feedback about participants experience.
Andy’s passion for movement, supporting teachers learn and Pilates, no matter your background really shines through in all her work. Her teaching energy is effusive, passionate and kind.
I highly recommend working with Andy if you get the chance.
-Becky A’Hearne
The Body Workshop Pilates
I have been on a number of workshops with Andy. As a fairly inexperienced pilates instructor her courses and approach have appealed to me as I have been curious about connecting the dots between modern teaching and the classical style. She is a fantastic educator who helped me to see that there is no separation and the relevance and importance of connecting back to the roots of the methodology. Her approach was warm, open and honest which was inspiring and supportive. Her enthusiasm towards movement and Pilates spurred me on to explore my own way of teaching which has boosted my confidence and made me a more thoughtful and intuitive teacher. I also resonate with her passion to support teachers from the inside out creating a healthier more enjoyable environment in our profession and to support and help each other.
