The Platinum Crucible is a fully supported container, where I will guide you through a process of self reflection, meeting you wherever you’re at on your teaching journey. Eventually we realise that becoming a great teacher isn’t about accumulating more information. Sometimes its about removing what gets in the way. The borrowed language, the rigid rules, the need to be right, the fear of not knowing, the need to fix. Until what remains is something much simpler: Knowledge. Curiosity. Presence. And You. Not a version of your teacher. Not a teacher performing pilates correctly. YOU. Because perhaps finding our authentic voice as a teacher isn’t about adding something new. It’s about gently stripping away everything that was never truly ours. I hope to inspire teachers to see their work not simply as teaching movement but as accompanying people on a journey of reconnection. When we understand our own stories, we become better able. to witness the stories of others - with greater empathy, curiosity and humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63947266758a42275bbaf341/a45049e6-e131-4370-8c50-26c8e17c5243/EditedJeniPilates-177.jpg Home - Classes I’m sharing a movement practice designed by Mr J H Pilates. What I share is not fancy, elitist, or performance based. It’s honest. It’s transformative. We practise, we connect, we move in a way that feels good. Collectively we build a relationship and trust in our bodies, our minds and our spirit. We are better for it. https://www.jendaypilates.com/about daily 0.75 2023-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63947266758a42275bbaf341/c42b4c98-34cf-4ce4-8409-5e9217658a65/EditedJeniPilates-208.jpg About - There is so much out there today, so many thumbprints, we are all valid, all expressions and interpretations welcome. What we teach shouldn't be fancy or elitist, just honest, authentic connection I empower, inspire and support movement teachers in finding their unique voice and expression, at whatever stage they’re at on their teaching pathway, sharing twenty years of knowledge, with curiosity and creativity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63947266758a42275bbaf341/37aae8c5-36c6-4ce3-926d-00f5c292f6e4/EditedJeniPilates-31.jpg About - A search for wholeness I have been holding space for nearly two decades and the space holds me alongside many others in our quest for connection, mind, body and spirit. My offering is deeply personal, refined and honed. Alongside my teaching I am creating space for my writing and mentorship. I have been writing my own personal heroine’s journey since lockdown, its been one of the most healing things I’ve ever done. My years of teaching I’ve discovered have become a quest for Wholeness. Originally I trained as a weaver at Central St. Martins, I designed fabrics for interiors, it took patience, persistence and a lot of looking at fine detail…and of course creativity. It may seem like a completely different path I started upon in 2001 when I took my first pilates class, but it really isn’t. To create a beautifully designed fabric or to practise Contrology (Pilates) you must look at the detail. You weave to create a strong, long-lasting piece of fabric. Studying my new craft- Contrology, I support and help create strong, beautiful, balanced bodies and minds. My mentor and friend, Holly Murray from PI Studios in London is my greatest Inspiration. She was taught originally by Romana Kryzanowska, a student of Joseph Pilates and his wife Clara. Holly introduced me to Bob Leikins before he died, his inspirational teaching lives on in many of us. Holly has been my greatest guide, giving me the very best understanding of the Classical Pilates Repertoire. Second to Holly is Maria Earle. Maria and I share a passion for language and communication. Maria generously shared her unique teachings from the first generation teacher Kathy Grant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63947266758a42275bbaf341/cbb1c8f3-1d7e-48a1-b63a-b9f9ee453c95/EditedJeniPilates-186.jpg About - The Intangible made Tangible Teaching Pilates taught me how to shape my inner and outer world. That's why I teach it, that's what The Method gave to me. Inviting people into our spaces in a way they can find lost connections, restore balance and reignite freedom and expression to move well. I know it goes way beyond this. The method is my framework and the depths found within this are expansive beyond words, and I love words. Clients are not simply bodies attached to minds, nor are they collections of muscles, joints, and movement patterns waiting to be corrected. They are whole human beings whose physical experiences are deeply intertwined with their thoughts, emotions, beliefs, relationships, and life circumstances. Every movement they make is influenced not only by anatomy and biomechanics but also by their history, habits, stress levels, confidence, and sense of self. When we recognize this interconnectedness, our teaching becomes more compassionate, responsive, and meaningful. Rather than treating movement as an isolated physical task, we begin to appreciate it as an expression of the entire person. https://www.jendaypilates.com/classes daily 0.75 2026-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63947266758a42275bbaf341/3f73b59d-6d9b-4ebf-93aa-452df15c6430/EditedJeniPilates-123.jpg Classes - One to One Sessions H A N D S O N … Individual private lessons focus on each student’s particular needs.

Are you a Teacher ready to level up? (Let’s upgrade the system, YOU!) Do you need inspiration and guidance on your teaching Journey? (no swimming solo, connection is needed in our community) Are you stuck in your teaching and need a new perspective? (no, you don’t need another training program) How would it feel to teach (and show up) from a place of truth, clarity and passion? (no lesson planning, clock watching or burnout) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63947266758a42275bbaf341/7a240abf-4e21-4154-8218-874ae1f35546/EditedJeniPilates-203.jpg Mentorship - Let’s go on a journey to rediscover your unique voice as a teacher, firstly connecting to a deeper understanding of you. One of the most significant shifts a Pilates teacher can make is moving from the role of instructor to the role of guide. Many Pilates teachers begin their journey by learning exercises, biomechanics, cueing, and programming. They learn how to teach the Hundred, how to improve a Roll Up, and how to correct alignment. These skills are essential. Yet after years of teaching, many instructors discover an uncomfortable truth: technical excellence alone does not create transformation. Clients may become stronger, more flexible, and more coordinated, yet something deeper remains untouched. The teacher may feel they are repeating classes, delivering information rather than facilitating meaningful change. The Platinum Crucible explores how Pilates teaching can evolve beyond exercise instruction into a practice that supports awareness, embodiment, resilience, and personal growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63947266758a42275bbaf341/bf510149-5817-4e01-ac86-662dbef7acd2/EditedJeniPilates-176.jpg Mentorship - Why I’ve created this… Through my own healing journey and twenty years of teaching and running a full-time Classical Pilates studio, I came to realise that the work we do as teachers reaches far beyond the exercises. I created this program because I believe Pilates teachers are capable of so much more than delivering movement instruction. We work with people on many levels — physically, emotionally and energetically. Beneath every exercise, something deeper may be taking place. When we learn to listen rather than simply correct, the body can become one of our greatest teachers. Our bodies are designed to move towards vitality and healing, yet sometimes the mind gets in the way. This is true for us as teachers, too. We can spend years learning more exercises, anatomy, techniques and ways to help others while quietly holding ourselves back. We may doubt ourselves, compare ourselves, strive for perfection or remain safely within what we already know. I created this program to support teachers who are ready to move beyond those limitations. This program is an invitation to step into that possibility. To trust your experience. To listen more deeply. To teach from a place of authenticity, presence and connection. Perhaps that is the real journey beyond the exercises: not becoming somebody else, but having the courage to become more fully ourselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63947266758a42275bbaf341/ebf05cef-0e4f-4015-91aa-f41608fd5877/EditedJeniPilates-130.jpg Mentorship Three Months to Dive Deep The Platinum Crucible is a three-month journey designed to give you the time and space to go deeper — into your teaching, your relationship with yourself, and the way you hold space for others. Over twelve weeks, we will explore the principles of The Crucible, moving beyond the exercises to uncover what it means to teach with greater presence, confidence, authenticity and truth. We Begin With You. This is an opportunity for me to get to know you — where you are in your teaching journey, what you are experiencing right now, what may be holding you back and, importantly, where you feel called to grow. There is no right place to be. We begin exactly where you are. Our Weekly Crucible Each week, we will meet online for two hours. Our sessions will begin by arriving together. We will check in through meditation, allowing ourselves to become present and notice what is here — in the body, in the mind and beneath the surface. From there, we will move into a short movement practice, reconnecting with the very thing that brought so many of us to this work in the first place: our bodies. Then we open the forum. This is where we explore, question, share and dive deeply into the week's Crucible principle. It is a space for conversation, reflection and discovery. A place where you can bring your experiences as a teacher, your questions, your challenges and your truth. Together, we explore what lies beyond the exercises. The Platinum Crucible Guide Throughout the journey, you will have access to The Platinum Crucible Guide — a companion to our work together, filled with insights, reflections, strategies and wisdom to help you take each principle deeper. Beyond the Three Months Transformation doesn't necessarily fit neatly into twelve weeks. At the end of The Platinum Crucible, there will be an opportunity to continue working with me through extended mentorship. This next stage is about integration — taking what you have uncovered and allowing it to become embodied in the way you teach, lead, communicate, hold your space and run your practice or studio. Because ultimately, this work isn't about becoming a different kind of teacher. It is about uncovering the teacher who is already within you. https://www.jendaypilates.com/classes-1 daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63947266758a42275bbaf341/3f73b59d-6d9b-4ebf-93aa-452df15c6430/EditedJeniPilates-123.jpg Classes with booking form - One to One Sessions H A N D S O N … Individual private lessons focus on each student’s particular needs.
