About

Pilates Teaching Studio

Features
Read full description

Pilates Teaching Studio was built for instructors who need more than an exercise list and a blank class builder. PTS brings professional movement knowledge, reusable programming, complete class planning, contextual references and live teaching into one workspace. KNOW YOUR MOVEMENTS Start with a structured Pilates movement catalog covering apparatus, setup, teaching cues, timing, anatomy and variations. Adapt a canonical Movement for your own teaching without losing its identity. Variations inherit from their base Movement unless you choose to override specific details. PROGRAM THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY TEACH Build reusable Mini-Flows for combinations you use often. Create reusable Transitions with the actual apparatus setup and spring choices you intend to use. Then assemble complete Flows with Sections, Movement and Variation snapshots, selected cues, timing and transitions. TEACH FROM THE PLAN YOU BUILT Choose a Flow as Active and open Teach for a focused, read-only class view. Move through the class manually with Previous and Next while seeing the current Movement or Transition, selected cues, timing, setup and class progress. Timers never advance the class for you. KEEP REFERENCE MATERIAL IN CONTEXT Add your own video links and privately imported PDF manuals. A Movement can point directly to the page you use in a manual, so reference material stays connected to the teaching context where it matters. Anatomy is available as another professional lens rather than a separate encyclopedia. WORK ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Your private instructor-created content can sync through iCloud across supported devices. The canonical movement catalog stays separate from your own adaptations, classes, media relationships and teaching notes. START WITH A REAL EXAMPLE A fresh install includes sample programming, including Reformer Foundations, reusable transitions and a Feet in Straps Mini-Flow, so you can see the complete Programming → Classes → Teach workflow immediately. Pilates Teaching Studio is designed for instructors who want their knowledge, planning and teaching workflow in the same place—not another generic workout playlist.
