This mentorship is built on a simple yet powerful compass that helps you shift from “just teaching exercises” to becoming an embodied guide. Each step is brought to life through the 6 program modules, giving you both structure and freedom in your growth.
If any of these resonate with you, you're in the right place.
“I often take over students from another teacher, and I find it hard to step into my own authentic voice and teaching style — especially when clients are used to someone else’s way of teaching.”
“I love teaching, but after a few classes I feel completely exhausted, and I don’t know how to sustain it.”
“How can I handle challenging clients while protecting my own energy?”
“After completing my training, I thought I’d only grow from there — but instead I found myself stuck, uncertain, and losing the joy I once had for Pilates.”
¨I often second-guess myself in front of clients — wondering if I’m saying or doing the right thing, especially when they don’t react the way I expect.”
“I know the Pilates exercises, but my clients can’t always perform them well — and I don’t feel confident knowing how to adapt them to their needs.”
Does this sound familiar?
My journey into Pilates began after nearly two decades as a professional dancer — a life of expression, but also of injuries that sent me searching for healing. Yoga helped for a while, but it was Pilates that finally gave me what I had been missing: true strength and restoration, for both body and mind.
At 37, I stepped away from the stage and into teaching. With my background in movement, I thought I was ready — but standing in front of clients, I realized that simply knowing the exercises wasn’t enough. Perfectionism kept me overthinking, overworking, and second-guessing myself, until I eventually burned out.
What changed everything was learning to ground myself in presence instead of chasing perfection, to protect and regulate my energy, and to teach in a way that truly meets clients where they are. That shift didn’t just transform my teaching — it changed how I live.
Why I Created This Mentorship
The Embodied Teacher Transformation Framework
Sense is about coming home to yourself — cultivating body awareness, presence, and self-trust as the foundation of your teaching. Instead of chasing perfection, you’ll discover your authentic teaching identity, build confidence through competence, and create a personal practice that truly sustains you.
Here's what you'll do:
The S.O.M.A. Method is your compass for teaching with authenticity: Sense yourself with presence and self-trust, Observe your energy and your students with clarity, Move from embodiment rather than memorization, Adjust with confidence and intuition, and finally, Integrate it all into a sustainable, authentic teaching practice.
The S.O.M.A. Method
Move is about teaching from embodiment — letting your own felt sense of the work guide how you demonstrate, cue, and flow with students. This is where you move beyond memorization into teaching with clarity, precision, and presence, so your students experience Pilates in a deeper and more integrated way.
Observe invites you to pay attention — to your own energy as well as the subtle signals of your students. You’ll learn how to regulate yourself before, during, and after class, manage nerves with compassion, and hold healthy boundaries so you can teach with balance instead of depletion.
Integration is the final phase of the mentorship weaves all four pillars together into a sustainable, long-term practice. You’ll walk away with a clear vision for your teaching path, tools for ongoing reflection and growth, and the confidence to embody your authentic voice as a teacher for years to come.
Adjust is the art of meeting each moment with confidence and intuition. From adapting your language for different learning styles, to handling challenges with ease, to leading with authenticity — this is where you step into true leadership and learn to inspire trust in every interaction.
Teaching shifts — you begin adapting to your clients’ needs in the moment. Self-doubt softens, presence deepens, and your energy stays balanced so you finish class fulfilled instead of depleted.
From here, you meet your students with clarity and compassion. Teaching stops being a role you perform and becomes your authentic expression. You no longer chase confidence — you embody it. And that’s when your students feel the difference, your classes transform, and teaching becomes sustainable and deeply rewarding.
Once you follow this method, everything changes
Pam - Pilates Teacher
After passing my training I started teaching and found myself after a few years in a slump. I was not feeling particularly inspired, and was also noticing my technique, strength and mobility were regressing. At this point, I remembered Erik, reached out to him and he guided me back to a healthy Pilates body and back to my love for Pilates.
¨After my Teacher Training I found myself in a slump.¨
“Imagine…”
Most importantly, you feel at home in your role. No more comparisons, no more doubts — your authentic voice is clear and strong. And while you stand on this new foundation, you also know the journey continues — a path of growth, refinement, and evolution that the S.O.M.A. Method fully supports.
Instead of pushing through and hoping you “get it right,” you guide with clarity and presence. Your words flow, your students lean in, and you leave class not depleted but uplifted — your energy intact, your joy renewed.
You walk into class feeling grounded and steady, no longer scrambling or second-guessing. With a few moments of centering, your body feels connected and your energy balanced. As your students move, you notice more, respond with ease, and adapt naturally without overthinking.

What makes this program different
Hi, I’m Erik Constantin — a former professional dancer turned into Pilates instructor & mentor, and the creator of The Embodied Teacher Transformation.
For nearly 30 years, movement was my world — first as a dancer on stage, and now as a guide for teachers learning to step into their own presence and confidence.
What fuels my work today is not just technique, but connection. I believe teaching Pilates is not about “getting it right,” but about meeting students where they are, honoring your own energy, and leading from authenticity.
My approach weaves together precision, playfulness, and compassion. I’m here not only to help you refine your teaching, but to support you in becoming the kind of teacher who feels at home in their own skin, confident in their voice, and deeply connected to their students.
This mentorship is the space I wish I’d had when I first started teaching — and it’s my joy to now offer it to you.
About Me
You’ll keep live long access to all recordings and resources after the program ends. That way, you can revisit the tools and practices as you continue to grow in your teaching journey.
How long will I have access to the materials?
That’s a common experience — and one reason I created this mentorship. Instead of just giving you information, we work somatically: you’ll practice, reflect, and integrate in real time. Plus, you won’t be doing this alone — the combination of community support and personal mentorship makes all the difference.
What if I’ve tried other programs before and it didn’t work?
Yes, absolutely. You’ll receive three private coaching calls with me during the program, where we can focus on your specific challenges and goals. Plus, the group size is intentionally small, so there’s always space for you to ask questions and be supported.
Will I get individual attention?
Plan for about 2–3 hours per week. That includes live calls, personal reflection, and trying things out in your classes. Everything is designed to be doable alongside teaching and life — and even a small, consistent commitment will create real change.
How much time will this take?
No worries at all. You’ll have access to all the call recordings, worksheets, and resources, so you can revisit them anytime. This program is designed to meet you where you are — whether you’re moving in step with the group or catching up at your own pace.
What if I fall behind?
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
This is a mutual commitment.
This mentorship isn’t about being perfect or having it all figured out. It’s for teachers who are willing to show up — even with doubts, even imperfectly — because they know there’s something deeper waiting for them on the other side.
My commitment to you is just as strong: I’ll bring my full presence, experience, and support to guide you every step of the way. I’ll hold space for your growth, challenge you with compassion, and celebrate the progress you might not even see in yourself yet.
If you’re ready to step into a more authentic, sustainable, and embodied way of teaching, I would be truly honored to walk this path with you.
