Pilates Mat Training | CLARAS EDGE
Build a strong foundation in Pilates mat work through a structured and supportive training experience. Offered through Edge Yoga School, CLARAS EDGE creates an additional pathway for exploring movement and developing your teaching skills, with attention to the individual at the heart of the practice.
The program integrates lectures, labs, and practicum to develop technical understanding, movement precision, and teaching confidence. Students work closely with Michelle Rae Sobi in small groups, receiving individualized guidance and opportunities to ask questions, practice, and refine their instruction.
In-person labs are supported by on-demand lessons, interactive webinars, and flexible scheduling. This combination gives you time to revisit concepts independently and bring your questions into a shared learning environment.
Our name honors Clara Pilates and her contributions to developing, teaching, and sustaining the Pilates method. Her attentive approach to instruction inspires our emphasis on observation, thoughtful communication, and helping students develop understanding through practice.
Michelle’s Pilates training began in 2008. Her experience in yoga and movement education informs a mentorship approach that encourages curiosity and respects the learning process. Together, we explore how movement feels, how to communicate it clearly, and how to guide a class with purpose.
For yoga teachers and wellness professionals, Pilates mat training offers an opportunity to expand your movement education and explore an additional teaching offering. For those beginning their teaching journey, it provides a setting to build foundational skills with guidance and support.
The focus is Pilates mat work. You will explore breath, control, alignment, and purposeful movement while developing your ability to observe, cue, and organize a class. Practice teaching gives you opportunities to receive feedback and become more comfortable leading others.
