Overview
150+ hours Pole Teacher Training
Whether you're here to deepen your own practice or you feel ready to step in, Silver Garden Beginner to Intermediate Teacher Training is built to take you there.
Over three months, you'll study the language of teaching, build your own brand, and learn how to hold a room — all the foundational shapes, the anatomy behind them, and the art of guiding others. You'll be guided every step of the way by Séléna and Luna, with a dedicated mentor alongside you throughout the immersion to support your growth.
From there, you'll learn the foundations and put them straight into practice — hands-on, in group lab settings, assisting and teaching real movement under guidance.
We recommend a minimum of 20 hours of practice before applying, so you arrive with a solid base to build on.

The journey
How you'll grow
Onboarding session
— Sit down or hop on a video call, one-on-one with Luna and Séléna, before you start — to map out your goals for the program and lock in a training schedule that actually fits your life for the next three months.
Your own mentor
— A dedicated Silver Garden mentor for the full program, with one-on-one check-ins (3 hours total). Your mentor is matched to you based on your goals and availability.
Shadowing & observation
— Sit in on Beginner and Intermediate classes as a silent observer: watching, taking notes, learning how an instructor structures the room. After class, you bring your questions — what you didn't follow, or what you want confirmed — straight to the instructor.
Co-teaching
— The next step up: you're in the room as an active assistant, not just a watcher. The instructor may hand you pieces of the class to run — leading the warm-up, spotting specific students, taking a section solo — so you're practicing real teaching moments before you're ever running a class on your own.
Teaching assessments
— Plan and lead two mock classes solo. The Silver Garden team watches, breaks down what worked and what didn't, and helps you sharpen it before your finals.
3 Privates
— Three one-on-one sessions to use however serves you best: sharpen your own pole practice, or work directly with a trainer on the mechanics of teaching — building a warm-up, structuring a class, cueing clearly, spotting safely.
In-person labs
— 4 immersive labs, 4 hours each (Lab dates and themes below).
Unlimited Studio Membership
— Full access to the regular class schedule for the entire term, so you can take any class.
Unlimited Open Practice Membership
