The journey starts here at Tone
We’ve always been pretty picky about our instructors at Tone. After nearly 20 years of Pilates at the studio, what was once our in-house trainer education program has grown to become a world-class source for skilled, experienced, and rigorous Pilates teachers across Northern California and beyond. We’re seasoned pros and we bring that sort of focus to helping new teachers get a firm grounding in the fundamentals and principles of Pilates.
Students travel from all over to work with our talented, knowledgeable instructors, and they all start with our mat program. Our Mat Teacher Training course is for those ready to take their practice to the next level, and turn their passion for Pilates and movement into a career that inspires and motivates people to get up, get moving, and get healthy.
