No, our course is designed for both beginners and experienced individuals. We start from the basics and gradually move to advanced techniques, ensuring everyone can follow along.

The course duration is 10 days in person over the course of two weeks. Then 4-6 weeks of observation and self practice before assessment. The assessment is usually 1-2 days depending on how many people are ready to assess that weekend. So from start to finish 2-3months. However there is flexibility on this as you will only assess when you are ready to.

We provide continuous support throughout the course. You can reach out to our team of experts for any queries or feedback. We believe in personalised learning and ensure everyone gets the attention they need. More importantly, post qualification there is also a community to dip into for further knowledge and support.

After many years of working as a Personal Trainer, Yoga and Pilates teacher, and a background in Contemporary Dance, Pip added her own flair and knowledge to develop a unique and all-encompassing technique.
