Fantastic team with incredible Pilates skills. I left the course with the confidence to continue on my own Pilates teaching journey. I would highly recommend choosing Harmonise for future Pilates training courses.
Highly professional and thorough Pilates Teacher training course with very knowledgeable and supportive tutors and assessors and a really helpful online portal.
I had a fantastic experience completing my Level 3 Pilates Teacher Training Course with Harmonise.

The course was professional, supportive, and incredibly well structured. Clare, Stacey, and Siofra are wonderful teachers who are always there to support, guide, and inspire their students. Their knowledge, encouragement, and passion for Pilates made the learning experience both enjoyable and rewarding.

I felt supported throughout the entire journey and gained the confidence and skills needed to start my Pilates teaching career.

I highly recommend Harmonise to anyone considering Pilates teacher training. Thank you to the whole team for such a positive and inspiring experience!

Can't thank Clare and her lovely team enough for their support on my Pilates journey! After qualifying in mat with Harmonise, I'm now taking the next step to do my reformer qualification with Integrate Academy (also lead by Clare). I also made some friends for life on this course so I'm super grateful. Thank you all so much!

The Harmonise course is incredibly comprehensive with instructors Clare and Stacey both very welcoming and brilliant at imparting their wisdom and also always available for additional insight or help. The balance between theory, practical and breaking down each exercise to then teaching them made everything feel manageable. From the course I feel I have the foundation to become the best instructor I can be with confidence and awareness.

For Pilates teacher training in Brighton, this is the only place to go. Clare is an incredibly knowledgeable mind on Pilates and all things movement. Supported by the very intelligent and empathetic Stacey, they make the dream team.

I looked at a few different courses and noticed that the pricepoints differed quite substantially. After speaking with Clare on the phone initially and then spending lots of time learning from her and the team at Harmonise, it’s clear why. Other courses won’t get you the same level of in-depth, real-life, and necessary training in order to feel like a confident, well-equipped teacher at the end of the course.

Pleased to have met such a lovely group of instructors!

I couldn’t be happier with my 200 hr YTT. I’ve been thinking about doing this qualification for years and I’m so happy I chose Harmonise.

I feel confident I’m ready to teach now, compared to other courses I’ve seen advertised Harmonise have a very structured learning course with a diligent exam & anatomy test.

100% recommend if you are thinking about it!

I've now completed my third CPD Pilates workshop with Harmonise and cannot recommend this Academy enough! Stacey and Clare are so knowledgeable, professional and the quality of the workshops is topnotch ! I've been meaning to refresh and elevate my mat Pilates knowledge since qualifying a few years ago and so happy I picked Harmonise to do so, since then I've implemented so much of the teaching, I've refined my cuing and feel like a better and more confident teacher as a result. Thank you both 🙂

I wholeheartedly endorse the Harmonise training program. Clare is an exceptionally inspiring and knowledgeable teacher, truly among the best in her field!

My experience in the Pilates teaching training course has been immensely enjoyable, and I am grateful to have discovered Harmonise. Clare's passion for teaching has ignited my own love for Pilates. The insights and skills I have gained from this course are invaluable, and I believe it will have a transformative impact on my life.

As a busy mother of two, the support I received from Harmonise in completing this course has been remarkable. I have also completed the hands-on assist course, which significantly boosted my confidence.

Thank you, Clare!

I had a fantastic time doing a Pilates hands on assist course with Clare. Clare creates a really friendly and welcoming space to work in and is very knowledgable. The course was very detailed and I have got so much out of it. I can't wait to work with Clare again on future courses and would highly recommend Harmonise.

So pleased I did the Pilates teacher training course! I really enjoyed taking the time to study again. It was fascinating to learn the history of Pilates, go in depth on the exercises and study the anatomy. All the trainers were not only incredibly knowledgeable but so encouraging and supportive of your teaching potential. Thank you!

I completed a Levle3 Diploma in Teaching Pilates. I entered this journey with a lot of questions in my head, about my own capabilities and whether I am just too old for this. I learnt so much about Pilates, how the correct breathing technique can help to maximise the outcome of an exercise and most of all I got to know a new me. I had an absolutely wonderful time, it was hard work but Clare and Stacey was always there to help, guide and encourage.
A huge thank you to you both! I am now in the process of setting up my new business and have big dreams for the future. Without Clare and her team it would have not been possible. A new life begins at 50.

I had the most amazing experience at Harmonise Training Academy with Clare. She is such an inspiring, kind woman and I couldn't imagine a better teacher and guide to feeling comfortable teaching yoga. The course really provided an in depth knowledge and understanding of how to teach, instead of just growing your knowledge and practice of yoga (which Clare also did amazingly with some incredible classes). We also went on lovely sea swims, sauna trips, and lunch together, it was such a healing and inspiring few weeks to learn a lot about yourself and spend time with some lovely people 😊. I can't recommend it enough, except just go for it!

Wow the yoga teacher training with Clare was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend! It was just perfect we laughed, cried and learned it was splendid. I learned so much about yoga and myself. Clare is so knowledgeable and inspiring, such a lovely time I would do the whole experience again. I’ve deepened my knowledge of yoga and developed as a person. We had a lovely sauna and sea swims with some meditation on the beach which was incredible. Such an amazing experience with such a lovely group of people 🧘‍♀️⭐️🥰 yogatastic 🧘‍♀️

I completed my Yoga Teacher Training 200hrs with Clare in May 2023 and I can honestly say it has been the best decision I have ever made in my life, as well as a life changing journey & experience! From the very first communication with Clare, whilst debating if it was the right time, the right course, whether teaching was even right for me, Clare made me feel worthy and on the right path. As she said 'when the student is ready the teacher will appear' and I cannot thank Clare enough for Harmonise appearing in my Google search!! The whole course is so well structured and planned, with so much to learn in a short time, Clare is probably the best teacher I've ever had, being firm but friendly, welcoming and a fountain of knowledge that makes you thirst for more! The time passed so quickly in our in-person group sessions we often didn't want the days to end; some weekends felt like a retreat whilst absorbing all the wisdom from Clare, we all experienced personal development, growth and learnt so much about ourselves along the way.
Learning with a group of like minded individuals we formed a very special bond, with each other and with Clare, being on such a transformational journey together we formed lasting friendships, and that is rare for such a short time but testament to the course and the way in which Clare teaches it.
The biggest take away for me was how many layers there are to practising Yoga, the vast benefits from breath to movement to meditation and the philosophy and beyond. The more we know, the more we know we don't know!
I cannot wait to share all I have learnt through teaching others, and to progress my own personal learning journey further through CPD courses and workshops. This really only is the beginning to an incredible path. Thank you Clare and everyone on my course for an unforgettable experience.
If you are considering a YTT course, I cannot recommend Clare at Harmonise enough, you will not be disappointed and if you're already considering it, you're already on the right path x

Alexa and Clare are amazing teachers with such a wide subject knowledge, whilst being friendly and approachable. They have always been just an email or phone call away if I was stuck on an assignment or just needed to clarify something.
