I am a Host Advisor for The Pilates Center (TPC) in Boulder, CO. A Host Advisor is a graduate of the Advanced or Bridge Programs that has gone through the Host Advisor training. These graduates assist TPC with teacher training students in their area. TPC mentors the Host Advisors to complete advising and Observed Teaching appointments. The great thing about being a Host Advisor is how you don’t have to live in Boulder, CO, to become a certified Pilates Instructor. I live in Birmingham, AL, and if you are not close to me, I can also help you find the closest Host Advisor to you! Below is information on three of the different programs
