THE Instructor Trainer experiencE
A dedicated path designed to support you as an educator and leader.
As we planned this year's Symposium, we heard clearly that Instructor Trainers wanted a more focused way to learn the new content — one that reflects the responsibility of teaching at the highest level.
This page gives you a simple overview so you can understand your options before you register. When you're ready, submit the IT Interest Form and our team will guide you through the rest.

IT Qualification Day
An immersive, IT-only day offering early access to NEW STOTT PILATES workshops as an educator.
Friday is your IT Qualification Day — a closed Instructor Trainer environment where you'll work through all four new workshops before with the workshop creators, the Director of Product and the Head of Instructor Trainer Experience.
These sessions are delivered through the Instructor Trainer lens. No clients, no students — just focused time to understand the material from the perspective of teaching it and to prepare to introduce these new workshops first.
Workshops Covered on IT Qualification Day:
- STOTT PILATES® Deconstruction-to-Reconstruction:The Art of Teaching Complex Reformer Exercises
- STOTT PILATES® Dynamic Core Control with the Mini Stability Ball™
- STOTT PILATES® Reformer Pilates for Active Aging: Strength, Balance & Longevity
- STOTT PILATES® Fitness Circle® Strength–Endurance–Recovery Flow Sequences
Friday Evening: IT Welcome Reception
After Qualification Day, join fellow Instructor Trainers and members of the leadership team for an IT-only reception to kick off the weekend.
Saturday, May 2 & Sunday, May 3
