The Pilates Journal Launches Its Mentor Directory
The Pilates industry has always been built on the sharing of knowledge. From studio floors and teacher trainings to conferences and workshops, some of the most valuable lessons come not from textbooks, but from the people who have walked the path before us.
Today, The Pilates Journal is proud to launch the Mentor Directory: a new initiative designed to connect instructors, studio owners and emerging leaders with some of the most respected voices in the global Pilates community.
Bringing together educators, business owners and specialists from a range of backgrounds, the directory has been created to make mentorship more accessible and to support professionals at every stage of their career. Whether someone is refining their teaching, opening a studio, navigating business challenges or simply looking for guidance from those with years of experience, the Mentor Directory offers a place to begin.
“Throughout our own careers, many of us have benefited from mentors who challenged us, encouraged us and helped shape the way we teach and lead,” says The Pilates Journal founder and editor-in-chief, CJ Zarb. “Our hope is that this directory creates more opportunities for those conversations to happen and, in doing so, strengthens the future of our industry.”
Mentors featured in the directory specialise across a broad range of disciplines, including:
Teaching and education
Studio ownership
Business growth
Programming
Career development
Anatomy and biomechanics
The launch comes at a time when the Pilates profession continues to evolve rapidly. As more instructors enter the industry and studio owners face new opportunities and challenges, access to experienced guidance has never been more important.
The Pilates Journal Mentor Directory is intended to be more than a list of names. It is a growing network of professionals committed to supporting the next generation of teachers and helping the industry continue to thrive.
We are incredibly grateful to the mentors who have joined this initiative and shared their time, expertise and experience with the wider community. Their willingness to invest in others reflects the collaborative spirit that has long defined Pilates.
The Mentor Directory is now live and available to explore.
Browse the directory, discover new perspectives and find the mentor who can help shape the next chapter of your Pilates journey.
