Practise. Explore. Grow as a Teacher.
Learning Pilates doesn't end when a training module finishes. Independent practice, personal movement experience, observation and teaching practice are all essential parts of professional development.
As a Polestar Pilates Comprehensive Studio graduate and Polestar Pilates Mentor, I'm happy to support your learning journey at Animus Pilates Studio in Budapest.
For me, mentoring goes beyond learning how to perform exercises correctly. It's about understanding movement, developing critical thinking and growing into a confident, independent teacher who can collaborate with clients and respond to their individual needs.
My fully equipped Pilates studio offers a range of opportunities to practise, explore and develop your teaching skills as a Comprehensive or a Reformer student.
Practice & Mentoring Opportunities
1. Observation
Free of charge
You're welcome to observe my Pilates sessions by prior arrangement, with the client's consent.
Observation gives you the opportunity to learn from real teaching situations, including client communication, movement observation, exercise selection and adapting to individual needs.
2. Exercise Self-Mastery & Apprentice Teaching Practice
5,000 HUF / person / hour
Practise independently using the studio equipment, on your own or with another student, or bring a volunteer client to develop your teaching skills.
Up to two students can practise at the same time, subject to availability and prior arrangement.
These sessions may take place while I'm teaching, so they are intended for independent practice rather than guided instruction.
3. Guided Practice – Studio Circuit
60 minutes | 10,000 HUF / person
A guided practice session in a small group of 3–4 students.
I'll prepare a selection of exercises across the different Pilates apparatus, which we'll explore and analyse together.
We'll look at the purpose of the exercises, the movement experience, anatomical and functional relationships, possible variations and different teaching approaches.
The aim isn't simply to practise the repertoire, but to deepen your understanding through exploration and personal experience.
4. Individual & Small-Group Mentoring
Personalised support for your professional development.
Mentoring sessions are tailored to your questions, learning goals and current challenges.
We may explore exercises in greater depth, examine anatomical and biomechanical concepts, develop your movement observation and programming skills, or discuss specific teaching situations.
I believe mentoring should do more than provide answers. I want to encourage you to ask questions, recognise connections, think critically and develop confidence in your own professional decisions.
Mentoring Fees
- 1 person: 19,000 HUF / session
- 2 people: 12,000 HUF / person / session
- 3–4 people: 10,000 HUF / person / session
