Future-oriented skills for all movement teachers

We believe movement sparks transformation within.

Tribes is the home of movement; the Academy is where you learn to pass it on. Full teacher trainings, weekend trainings and immersives: you feel it in your own body first, then you learn to share it.

Lisa Bartels · Pilates Mat Foundation graduate

Look into the training

You train inside a working studio

Tribes started in one room in Leiden ten years ago. Today it's five studios in Leiden and Wassenaar, around 70 drop-in classes a week and 47 teachers. As a trainee you practise and assist in real classes.
