ABOUT THE COURSES

At Flexi Academy, we don't teach traditional Pilates qualifications.

Instead, we teach the Flexi Fly Method—a contemporary, strength-focused approach inspired by Pilates principles and built around breath-led movement, functional strength and confident coaching.

Whether you choose Flexi Fly Reformer, Flexi Fly Mat or Flexi Fly Heat, you'll learn how to deliver engaging, effective classes that are designed for today's studio environment.

Our courses focus on developing knowledgeable, confident instructors who understand not only how to perform movements, but how to coach them safely and effectively.
