Altum Academy

Karen Frischmann is coming to Singapore.

For more than 30 years, Karen has studied and taught Classical Pilates at the highest level, training under first-generation teachers Jay Grimes and Romana Kryzanowska, and spending decades helping teachers understand not just what to teach, but why the work is ordered the way it is. She is one of the most respected voices in Classical Pilates education today.

This June, she teaches at Altum Academy for the first time.
Three days. Four workshops. The mat, the Reformer, breath, and the seat - each examined with the rigour and depth that defines Karen’s teaching.

Most people who eventually consider teacher training did not begin with that intention.

They simply started practising. Over time, the work begins to reveal itself in different ways. You notice how the exercises relate to one another, how the system progresses, and how much patience and discipline it asks of the body.

The Altum Teacher Training Programme grew out of this understanding. We wanted to create a programme where students study the work as a system, rather than a collection of exercises to memorise. One that allows time for practice, observation, mentorship, and reflection - the things that actually shape someone into a thoughtful teacher.

Many who join begin as dedicated practitioners who simply want to understand the work more deeply. Somewhere along the way, the process becomes something else entirely. Learning to teach also becomes a way of understanding the method (and yourself) more clearly.

If the work has been quietly drawing your attention in this way, perhaps it is time to study it more seriously.

A short apparatus study on the Wunda Chair: its origins, design intentions, and why it remains one of the most revealing pieces in the Classical system.

We hope this deepens your appreciation of the Chair, whether you’re a practitioner, a teacher, or considering the training path ahead!

Dear aspiring Pilates teachers: happy new year! Our 2026 Teacher Training calendar is now live. 🥰✨

It’s been shaped with depth and mentorship in mind, and paced to honour both the work and the people stepping into it. Whether you’re already teaching or slowly preparing for that path, the 2026/27 academic year has been designed to support real learning and long-term growth as a Classical Pilates teacher.

At the heart of this academic calendar is a clear intention to develop the most thoughtful and well-trained Classical Pilates teachers in Asia.

We’ll be sharing more soon about the global Classical Pilates Masters who will be joining us in Singapore next year.
