What the industry says about working with Diana
She has a clear understanding of what makes teaching work in a real studio setting, and a natural way of developing instructors that feels both supportive and highly effective.
With her support, I went on to open my own studio. During that time, Diana was Head Academy Coordinator in the UK, and she trained my entire team of instructors.
She not only expanded my knowledge as an instructor but also helped me discover strengths I didn’t realise I had.
Her knowledge and passion shine through in an accessible, motivating teaching style that brings out the best in her students.
She was patient, attentive, and always tuned in to what I needed, whether that meant adjusting my cueing or encouraging me to push a little further and being creative.
What sets her apart is the depth she brings to her training and classes. Every cue and correction is intentional and thought out.
D played a huge role in shaping me into the strong and confident Pilates instructor I am today. Her mentorship has taken me from England to Dubai, opening doors I never expected.
From day one, Diana guided me with patience, clarity, and genuine encouragement, building my confidence every step of the way.
As a teacher of future instructors, she goes beyond just technique; she builds confidence, precision, and presence. Her fireball personality keeps you engaged while her attention to detail sharpens your skills.

Assessment
Assessment is designed to reflect real teaching conditions.
Before Weekend 1, you will complete a 30-question multiple choice knowledge check based on the pre-learning material. This is not about memorisation. It confirms you have engaged with the foundational concepts so that studio time can focus on application from the start.
The final practical assessment takes place after the programme and requires you to teach a full Reformer class. You will have up to 6 months to complete it by submitting a filmed class, giving you time to build confidence and teach independently before you are assessed. You are evaluated on session intent, load management, cueing, flow, and professional conduct.
Certification is awarded on successful completion of both stages.
Programme Hours
100 hours total across pre-learning, six studio days, self-practice and observation, practice teaching, and final assessment.
