Be inspired, join Mary for Teacher Training Workshops

Mary is an inspiring and knowledgable presenter. Her aim is to demystify complex subjects into an easily digestible form for teachers to utilise, stimulating your thought processes and helping you develop your teaching skills. It is a great way to continue your CPD as well as interact with our community.

Numbers are kept deliberately small to allow ample time for group discussion, reflection and consolidation of your learning experience. Alternatively, you can book an individual online mentoring session with Mary — a focused opportunity to discuss and review any topic, or to talk through a specific client case and explore how best to support them.

  • I joined Mary's Reconnect to your Pelvic Floor Method Teacher Training Course to further increase the depth of my own knowledge about Pelvic Floor Health. I have always been a big fan of Mary's courses and her ethos; both in terms of her approach to movement and her approach to teaching the teachers. As always the course did not disappoint. It was jam packed with great information (both from research literature and Mary's own vast experience with her clients). The live Zoom calls were a fantastic way to interact directly with Mary and be able to ask questions and seek further information or clarification on any of the topics discussed. I feel armed with a greater depth of knowledge and the confidence that I can educate my own clients in Pelvic Floor Health. Highly recommended.

  • I attended my 1st Movement Lab in July & I absolutely adored every minutes - from the teaching style to the movement demonstrations which I've already shared with my class members they are super value for money & have improved my teaching skills & knowledge after just 90 minutes. I look forward to attending more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such an accessible way.

  • A really excellent course for Pilates teachers. Lots of good information about anatomy & pathology as well as an overview of exercises to use with clients.

    Gerri, July 2023.

  • I just wanted to say how very much I enjoyed Mary’s workshop at POT London. It was fun and informative, and I came away with lots of ‘tools’ to take into my classes this week. Hypermobility is a condition that as a teacher I seem to see a LOT of, and if there was a chance of a longer and more in depth workshop with Mary, next time, I would take it for sure:))

    Annita. POT, April 2023
