Meet Laura.
Hi, I'm Laura Wilson. I received my STOTT PILATES Full Certification and opened my first studio in 2005. Although I had a good base of knowledge when I started teaching, sometimes clients would ask questions that I couldn't answer. I realized that getting certified was just the beginning of what has become a life-long passion for learning.
In 2017, I developed my Mat, Reformer, and Cadillac training courses. In 2021, I added Chair & Barrels to create the Natural Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training Program. My goal is to expand the understanding of the Pilates Method by exploring muscular participation, joint function, range of motion, and the physics behind both the classical repertoire and the functionality of the Pilates apparatus. Our training program was recently accredited by the Pilates Method Alliance ITTAP Program.
During the pandemic, I had to temporarily shutter my 4 studio locations, so I began offering classes and workshops online. Many of these workshops have been accredited by the National Pilates Certification Program.
I am very excited to share these workshops and exchange information with a community of like-minded Pilates enthusiasts!
Testimonials
Great workshop to understand "the why" behind what we do as Pilates practitioners. Are we here to learn choreography or movement? The connection to RTS (Resistance Training Specialists) helps us to understand the why behind what we do and the goal of each exercise, so that we can then manipulate the resistance in order to create an endless amount of exercises/movements for every body and every situation, specifically in this case, hip and knee restrictions. - Anne Marie Aristone, Towne Barre, Towson, MD (2024)
Great content! The information was valuable, and I have already begun using exercises and methods with clients. - Wendy Freeman (2024)
I absolutely love Natural Pilates! Not only do they have the most amazing workout classes online (www.naturalpilatestv.com), but they deliver astounding teaching classes for professionals. If you are looking for a one-stop shop, Natural Pilates is that place. Laura is very knowledgeable and teaches so you easily understand. Erika is very helpful and a delight to work with. - Janna Arsenault (2024)
All workshops have been fantastic! The guest medical professionals did a great job explaining the topic and I have a much better understanding of conditions several of my clients have. Laura then did an excellent job of making their information/recommendations applicable to Pilates programming. Looking forward to taking more Natural Pilates workshops in the future! - Kelsey English (2024)
The Physics of Footwork CEC was wonderful. I loved it! - Adriana Duarte Pontual (2023)
Athletic Programming on the Jumpboard was such a great workshop, and I truly enjoyed taking it. It was thorough yet super easy to follow. I felt ready to teach immediately after completing it. Thank you Laura and Natural Pilates for giving me all the tools I need to be a great educator and teacher. - Jenny Dailey (2022)
Great workshop! Loved the breakdown of Bridging on the Reformer. - Deanna Kerr (2022)
Natural Pilates Mat & Reformer Teacher Training was a great mix of theory and practice. We were encouraged to look at the body as a whole and regularly discussed modifications and tailored exercises as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach. The teacher trainers have exceptional knowledge of the body and biomechanics and have so much information and wisdom to pass on. I would highly recommend taking a training program with Natural Pilates. - Lisa Street (2021)
