Our Teaching Standards
Pilates teaching is not statutorily regulated in the UK. There is no single professional standard that every teacher or studio is required to meet.
That makes the standards we set for ourselves matter.
At THW, we take responsibility for how we teach and how we support the people who move with us.
We Require Qualifications
Every THW Pilates teacher is qualified to teach Mat and Reformer Pilates.
Our Pilates team has trained through established organisations including YMCA, STOTT PILATES and BASI.
Our certified yoga teachers have trained and practised in studios across the world.
THW Tradeston is a licensed Lagree studio. Every Lagree teacher holds a Level 1 certificate.
Qualifications are where our standards begin.
We Understand Method
Knowing a class plan is only part of the work.
Our teachers understand the principles behind what they teach. They know how movement should feel and what good control looks like.
That understanding helps them explain movements clearly and give useful guidance.
We Keep Learning
Qualifications give us a foundation. Learning continues from there.
Our team trains together and attends workshops. We also learn from each other's experience.
What we learn comes back into the studio and into the way we teach.
We Pay Attention
Good teaching means paying attention to the person in front of you.
We give clear guidance and offer practical options based on how you move.
Whether it is your first or fiftieth class, we meet you where you are.
We Teach Carefully
Care shapes the work behind every class.
It is in how we plan. It is in the time we take to explain and encourage.
It is in creating a studio where you can work hard while feeling supported.
Everything we do at THW is made for your whole being.
