Shelley Williams
"Shelley's Pilates Mat Immersion was equal parts fun and informative and gave me all the tools I needed to start teaching after completing the coursework. The format of one live class and one lecture per week was a great way to learn first by doing and then by discussing the reasoning and methodology behind the practice. I most appreciated that Shelley's approach is both technical and creative; I enjoyed learning about the anatomy and structure of each exercise while also learning how to add my own flavor."

I absolutely can’t say enough good things about Shelley and her teacher training program. As a teacher she is thoughtful, dedicated and full of energy! She has some sort of special magical ability to explain complex concepts in a way that made me feel confident about my ability to complete them, but also teach them. Every time I take a class from her, or watch her teach, I am amazed at everything I learn. 10/10 highly recommended!!”

“I’m so grateful that I was able to take Shelley’s Pilates Teacher Training this year. I was a certified teacher previously, and after taking many years off to raise kids, this was just what I needed to get back in the saddle. Shelley is a force of warmth and grace, paired with a deep understanding of the body and movement practices, which made this certification really special. We went deep into Pilates fundamentals, and I especially loved that we were practice teaching from day one, which built a ton of confidence and helped me to cultivate my authentic teaching style/voice. I would absolutely recommend this training to anyone looking for a rich, holistic teaching experience.”
