Teacher’s Roadmap
Reveal the compelling, creative, successful teacher you’ve always been inside!
In this 12-week course you’ll learn my proven, step-by-step roadmap to building a resilient teaching practice, build a fantastic workshop you can offer over and over again and get my personal feedback so you find your teaching sweet spot and never get lost in the crowd.
I know you’re excited to move forward in your teaching and your business, ready to take advantage of what you’ve learned over the course of the pandemic and forge a path to your successful, creative future.
Let’s do it together, starting February 15!
Here’s what we’re going to do over our 12-week journey:
- We’ll meet up on Zoom every week so you get to ask your questions and explore your discoveries
- Explore exactly who you are as a teacher and what your passions and strengths are
- Target your perfect clients and have skills to manage your less-than-perfect clients
- Have a vision for your perfect practice over the next 1, 3 and 5 years
- Brainstorm a workshop that sings to you, develop it, practice it with your fellow students and get feedback from me
- Hone your class planning skills
- Refine your communication and teaching skills
- Solidify your boundaries
- Get comfortable with social media and marketing
- Build your sustainable practice plan that makes sure you keep teaching with love, passion and energy for as long as you want to practice!
The Roadmap is a longer, more comprehensive program than THRIVE, but my philosophy is the same: we learn best together and I will ALWAYS be here with you as we create a community and journey towards our most rewarding, successful teaching.

In-person
Alison teaches privates and drop-in classes at her studio, Boomerang Pilates in Toronto.
Since we opened in 2011, we’ve expanded our teaching team to include some of the best instructors in both Pilates and Restorative Exercise. You can explore movement in ways that build you from the inside out and address your need for healthy movement AND your craving for a workout!
During COVID-19 we’re offering online classes and private sessions along with in-person private sessions. Get in touch for more info!

“Alison has a well developed and all too rare “teacher’s eye”. She could see the misalignments and compensations I was engaging in to get around the pain and we worked out adjustments I could make to begin to change my patterns. Alison has a deep knowledge of anatomy (she would say geeky) and is able to get me to see and feel the connections between the physical limits I may be experiencing just from day to day living and how I can address these.”
