Inside the Academy: What It Means to Train in the Prescription Method

Prescription Academy was born from a clear need and a lot of heart. As more people seek thoughtful, high-quality education in Dynamic Reformer Pilates — and as our community continues to grow — we knew we needed more than just a space to teach technique. We needed a home to nurture trainers who live our method, embody our values, and grow into powerful, intentional leaders.

When you join the Academy, you enter a fully immersive journey: five in-person days of movement, learning, and exchange, followed by several weeks of guided self-study, 1:1 mentorship, in-studio observation, teaching practice, self-practice, and coursework. The program culminates in both a theory and practical exam, followed by an audition and integration into the team. This experience is a reflection of who we are: rooted in mentorship, committed to excellence, and driven by shared purpose.

Who It’s For

Whether you're:

  • Trained in mat Pilates and ready to transition to Reformer

  • Certified in Reformer or comprehensive Pilates but haven’t yet taught

  • An active instructor of classical or contemporary Pilates looking to expand into Dynamic Reformer

What matters most is your passion, openness, and desire to grow — as a mover, a trainer, and a teammate.

What You Learn

Our Dynamic Reformer Method blends classical Pilates foundations — core control, precision, breath, alignment — with high-intensity, choreographed flows, driven by music and emotional expression.

Inside the Academy, you'll explore:

  • Anatomy, taught functionally and inclusively

  • Cueing that is powerful, precise, and emotionally intelligent

  • The art of flow: sequencing, transitions, rhythm, and progressions

  • Music and energy as compasses for presence and connection

  • Building meaningful relationships — with your voice, your clients, and your team

This isn’t about memorizing steps or scripts. It’s about understanding what makes a movement experience transformative — and learning to build that from within.

Beyond the Reformer — The Real Impact

The truth is, the Academy changes people.

We’ve seen trainees grow into new versions of themselves — not just as trainers, but as leaders, speakers, and confident humans. Some go on to teach at Prescription; others carry the learning into their own businesses, practices, or personal relationships with movement. But all leave with something lasting: clarity, strength, and a deep understanding of how to lead — both in the studio and beyond.

“This process has been transformative, and I feel incredibly grateful to have had the space to grow, explore, and discover my voice as a teacher within such a supportive and inspiring environment.” — Irem

A Final Word from Camille

We didn’t create the Academy as a formality. We created it because we know what it takes to lead, teach, and hold space the way our method calls for. And we believe no one should have to figure that out alone.

This is how we welcome new trainers to the team. It’s where mentorship begins — where people are seen, supported, and equipped not just to teach classes, but to build meaningful careers.

What I love most? The closing sharing circles. They get me every time. The trust, the laughter, the vulnerability. The way trainees connect with one another and with the seasoned trainers who show up to support them. There’s a bond that forms — honest, deep, and solid. The quality of our relationships, our ethics, and our culture of support is the most precious gift we have.

I grew up in competitive sports, and I know how powerful it is to be coached by someone who makes you feel both safe and brave. As an adult, I longed for that kind of mentorship. Now I see it — in this team, in this program. I see people becoming that mentor for one another, often stepping into roles they never thought possible — with humility and heart.

That, to me, is everything.

  • “Before going, I never expected the shift, clarity, and confidence I would return to Cardiff with. Camille didn’t just teach me about Pilates — she coached in a holistic way that helped me uncover what makes me thrive as a teacher.” — Steph

  • “There was so much support from Camille and the other trainers. I walked away feeling so much more confident in my voice.” — Sophia

  • “The Academy gave me a sense of empowerment — it helped me find my own style and gave me the structure I needed to feel strong in how I show up and lead.” — Kate

If any of this speaks to you — even just a flicker — follow it.

We’re here to guide, challenge, and celebrate you every step of the way.

See you in the studio!
