Workshops & Continuing Education
Pandora Pilates Movement Academy
Continuing Education & Masterclasses
Pandora Pilates Movement Academy hosts workshops, guest-teacher masterclasses, and continuing education events throughout the year at our Coral Gables studio — and occasionally at off-site locations throughout Miami. Our workshop program brings nationally and internationally recognized Pilates educators to Miami for hands-on learning experiences unavailable in most South Florida markets, and also offers studio-led workshops on apparatus, technique, anatomy, and specialized movement topics. Whether you are a certified instructor seeking continuing education hours, an advanced practitioner deepening your practice, or a physical therapist exploring Pilates integration, our workshops are designed for serious movers and Pilates professionals.
What Our Workshop Programs Cover
The Pandora Pilates Movement Academy workshop program spans four categories. Each serves a distinct professional need within the Pilates and movement education community.
Studio Workshops
Workshops designed and led by Pandora Pilates Movement Academy educators — including Dr. Julia Shmurak, DPT, NCPT — covering apparatus technique, clinical applications of Pilates, anatomy and movement science, special populations, and teaching methodology. These workshops are developed in-house and reflect the clinical and pedagogical standards of the Academy.
Guest Teacher Workshops & Masterclasses
Pandora Pilates Movement Academy regularly hosts nationally and internationally recognized Pilates educators for guest workshops and masterclasses at our Coral Gables studio. These events bring teaching perspectives and specializations to Miami that are otherwise unavailable locally — giving South Florida Pilates professionals access to world-class continuing education without traveling out of state.
Continuing Education for Certified Instructors
All Pandora Pilates Movement Academy workshops qualify as continuing education hours toward NCPT renewal and PMA membership maintenance. Hours are documented upon completion. Contact us to confirm CEC eligibility for specific upcoming workshops before enrolling.
Offsite Pilates Events
Pandora Pilates Movement Academy occasionally organizes and participates in off-site Pilates events, intensives, and community gatherings throughout Miami and South Florida. These events are listed in the calendar below alongside studio workshops.
