  • More than learning exercises.

    Body Form Education is an internationally recognized Pilates education provider founded by Physiotherapist Kira-Leigh Rule.

    Their 250+ hour teacher training pathway combines physiotherapy-led education in anatomy, biomechanics and movement with Pilates repertoire, programming, cueing, injury modification, pre and postnatal considerations and real-world teaching skills.

    The focus is not simply on memorizing exercises or choreography.

    It is about understanding why you are teaching an exercise, how the body moves, how to adapt movement for the person in front of you and how to confidently create purposeful, intelligent Pilates classes.

    Qualifications are internationally recognized, with Body Form Education certifications recognized by ITTAP, PMA, AusActive and Pilates Aotearoa.

    Your training includes:

    • 250+ hours of structured learning
    • Physiotherapy-led online education
    • Functional anatomy + biomechanics
    • Mat and/or Reformer repertoire
    • Programming + class design
    • Cueing, observation + teaching skills
    • Injury modification + clinical reasoning
    • Pre + postnatal education
    • Practical teaching assessments
    • Observation, self-practice + practice teaching hours
    • Face-to-face practical training
    • Internationally recognized certification on successful completion

  • Learn the theory in your own time. Put it into practice with us.

    One of the things we love about the Body Form pathway is the way the training has been structured.

    Rather than spending your entire face-to-face course sitting through anatomy and theory lectures, the comprehensive theory component is available online for you to work through at your own pace.

    You can pause. Rewatch. Take notes. Revisit concepts and gradually build your understanding.

    Then when we come together at Sky Barre, we can focus on what face-to-face training is incredibly valuable for:

    moving, teaching, practicing and receiving feedback.

  • This is where everything starts to come together.

    Your practical training days are immersive, hands-on and designed to help bridge the gap between knowing the material and confidently teaching it.

    Hosted inside Sky Barre Movement Studios in Darwin, you’ll train in a small-group environment alongside other aspiring and developing instructors.

    Throughout the practical days we work through exercise technique and intention, equipment setup, teaching and demonstration, verbal and tactile cueing, movement observation, corrections, modifications, progressions and regressions, programming and real-life teaching scenarios.

    You won’t spend the weekend sitting and listening.

    You’ll move. You’ll practice. You’ll teach.

    And, importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to make mistakes, ask questions and receive feedback in a supportive studio environment before stepping into your own classes.

    Our goal is for you to leave the face-to-face component feeling more knowledgeable, more capable and far more confident in your ability to teach real people — not just perfect bodies from a textbook.

  • Sky Barre has been part of the Darwin movement community since 2020 and has grown into multiple studios offering Pilates, Reformer, strength and contemporary movement experiences.

    Our approach has always placed a strong emphasis on understanding movement and continuing to evolve as instructors.

    We believe excellent instructors need more than a library of exercises.

    They need strong foundations in anatomy and biomechanics, an understanding of exercise intention, the ability to observe the body in front of them and the confidence to modify, progress and program appropriately.

    Partnering with Body Form Education allows us to bring this style of education directly to Darwin and provide aspiring instructors with both the depth of Body Form’s physiotherapy-led curriculum and the practical experience of training within a working studio environment.

  • You can still train with us.

    Body Form Education also offers a Recognition of Prior Learning pathway for already-qualified instructors wanting to deepen their education.

    This can be particularly valuable if your previous training left you wanting more knowledge around:

    • Anatomy + biomechanics
    • Injury modification
    • Pre + postnatal clients
    • Programming
    • Clinical reasoning
    • Exercise intention
    • Functional movement
    • Strength-based Pilates

    Eligible instructors can receive up to 40% off the course price while accessing the Body Form curriculum and practical education.
