M8 - Pilates Teacher Training
Teach what you love. The M8 Teacher Training program is evolving just like our studio!
Enrolling Now for 2024
Designed for modern day learning - collaborating virtual with physical, audio and video, and self paced progress… M8 Teachers in training learn how to adapt movement, mindset, and mastery into a platform of healing expression.
Join the M8 Teachers Team, or spread the knowledge far and wide, our M8 Teachers will receive a National Certification but have access to the special insights of the M8 establishment. Our program includes a deeper understanding of Anatomy and Special Populations, Breathwork, Fascia Fitness, Yoga philosophy, Pilates apparatus and Matwork, and mindfulness.
Originally established in 2004, as Kore Pilates Academy, now M8 Wellness continues our Comprehensive Teacher Training with the benefit of working with an active studio.

"I really enjoyed Stephanie’s teaching style in class and on-line. She made the classes very informative and fun. She was able to teach students with a wide variety of experience levels.
I am a Licensed Physical Therapist and previously trained Pilates instructor. I learned a lot in Stephanie’s classes. She made the most of our in-class time, providing valuable information and peaking our curiosity to learn more...

After opening our first Pilates studio overlooking La Jolla Cove in 2003, I quickly realized I would need to hire more teachers. My clients were precious to me, and I searched for Pilates teachers in the area but found little. With some encouragement, I sat to write my own accumulated knowledge - from my first Pilates experience as a ballet dancer, then working side by side with Julian Littleford, then receiving a Comprehensive Certification from Rael Isacowitz in Newport Beach.
But in the years I worked with clients I saw spine degeneration, hip replacements, tennis professionals, retired golf enthusiasts, and trapeze artists. I wanted my own teachers to "know more", to see what clients needed, and then be creative enough to work with people 3 - 4 times a week. I had pretty high expectations - and that is what I taught.
In 2004 I launched the Kore Pilates Academy program to provide the world with exceptional Pilates teachers. For my own self, I too wanted to study, to know more. I became fascinated by health and well being when my children were babies. I enrolled myself at the Chopra Center of Well Being and became certified to teach "Perfect Health", their signature Ayurveda Program.
Clients travelled with us to amazing places where we would move, eat, explore and connect on retreats. My work with coaching became very focused on nutrition and clean eating and my family switched to a plant based diet. I studied yoga, meditation, philosophy, NLP, Reike, and energy healing. These all became part of me as a teacher.
After travelling and teaching since leaving La Jolla, we our now settled into the Monterey Peninsula where we are inspired to combine the Movement education of Pilates with the Mindfulness of Ayurveda and energy into a complete program.
This is M8
