Find Your Path at Edge: Pilates, Yoga, and Meditation for 2026–2027
Whether you want to become a teacher, expand your skills, or make more room for movement and creativity, there is a place for you at Edge. Our 2026–2027 offerings bring together Pilates, Yoga, and Meditation through teacher training, hands-on Labs, and experiences across Wheaton, Naperville, and Warrenville.
Pilates teacher training enrollment is open, with the option to pay as you go through each module. Begin with a single Lab or work toward a longer training pathway with mentorship along the way.
My Pilates journey began in 2008, when I earned my first certificate at Body Endeavors with Liv Berger. That experience planted a seed for what Edge would become.
Edge began as a weekly class called Salutations Yoga at the Naperville Woman’s Club in Downtown Naperville. There have been many chapters since then, but my love of teaching teachers has remained at the heart of it all.
For Pilates Enthusiasts and Aspiring Teachers
Edge Pilates School offers opportunities to explore Mat, Reformer, Chair, Slackboard, and Apparatus. Our Labs connect movement practice with anatomy, teaching methodology, and professional ethics.
You can explore a single Lab, pursue your 100-hour Pilates Teacher Training certificate, or continue toward 450 total hours through an extended practicum. Your pathway can reflect your interests, experience, and teaching goals.
You will have opportunities to ask questions, practice with peers, and receive thoughtful feedback as you develop your teaching voice.
For those interested in an additional professional credential, ask about our American Council on Exercise, or ACE, Group Fitness exam study group. Edge offers preparation to support your studies as you work toward sitting for the exam.
For New and Continuing Yoga Teachers
Edge Yoga School offers a 200-hour teacher training pathway, 300-hour advanced training, a 500-hour Ayurvedic Yoga pathway, 85-hour Prenatal Yoga training, and 95-hour Children’s Yoga training.
A trauma-informed approach is the foundation of our Yoga Labs. Through study, practice, and mentorship, students explore how to teach with greater awareness and respond thoughtfully to different needs.
Already teaching? Ask Michelle about qualifying continuing education hours through YACEP and opportunities to deepen your knowledge.
For Creative and Contemplative Practice
Edge Meditation School brings together mindfulness and the arts. Let watercolor flow and origami unfold alongside the sounds of crystal bowls and chimes.
Meditation can include making art, listening closely, and giving your attention to the experience in front of you. These offerings create space for curiosity, expression, and quiet reflection.
As a member of the Naperville Art League, I value the connection between creativity and mindful attention. That connection continues to shape our art and Meditation experiences at Edge.
Three Settings to Explore
Our Wheaton studio offers a dedicated space for movement and learning at 130 W. Liberty, Suite 7, in Downtown Wheaton. Ample parking is available.
Our Naperville experiences include field trips to Enclave, home to Edge headquarters, as well as Naperville Wellness & Salt Cave and the Naperville Public Library. Each setting offers another way to connect learning with community.
Our Warrenville farmhouse, formerly known as Bliss Yoga Studio, sits on three acres of nature and provides a setting for retreats, special events, and private gatherings.
