Be One of Singapore’s First Certified Group Ladder Barrel Instructors

At Tirisula Yoga Pilates, we are proud to be the pioneers in Singapore to launch Group Pilates Ladder Barrel Classes— and we’re inviting you to be part of this exciting new chapter.

This is your opportunity to be among the first certified Ladder Barrel group instructors in Singapore. You’ll be trained to confidently teach up to 8 students in a structured class setting. Graduates from this course will be considered for immediate teaching opportunities at our studios.

Whether you’re a current Pilates instructor or looking to upskill, this course will elevate your teaching and help you stand out in a competitive market.

Why Learn the Ladder Barrel?

Our modern sedentary lifestyle has drastically reduced spinal flexibility — especially the ability to extend the spine or bend backward. The Ladder Barrel is one of the best Pilates apparatus for restoring this movement, improving posture, and building a strong, mobile spine.

Key benefits include:

• Spinal extension, lateral flexion, and core strengthening

• Improved posture and balance

• Chest and hip flexor opening for better mobility

• A challenging and effective workout for fitness enthusiasts seeking variety

• Safe, guided backbends and full-body stretching unavailable in mat-based work

Course Fee:

Standard fees: SGD 1150 (SGD 1253.50 w/GST)
Early bird fees: SGD 850 (SGD 926.50 w/GST) (Sign up at least 8 weeks in advance)

Full payment is required upon registration.
