Apprentice to Instructor
Claire Askey is the studio owner of Axis Pilates and talented classical Pilates Instructor. She studied with Brooke at Clasique from Jan 2016 - August 2018. Training Claire was a dream. She is passionate, has grit, embodies grace and worked her tail off throughout the program!
“Apprenticing with Brooke was life changing.
I knew when I began the program it would be tough, but it turned out to be one of the biggest and best challenges of my life. Brooke pushed me AND supported me in digging deep to let my very best self shine. I saw her as not only a mentor, but also a coach.
Not only did I gain an in-depth knowledge of the Classical Pilates method, I learned how to practically apply the material.
Learning the "moves," the number of reps, the spring settings...that’s the easy part. Having a client in front of you and getting the best out of them while also being safe and supportive- that’s the hard part.
This is where Brooke’s training program stand’s out! There is no script. There is no cursory recitation of material.
I learned from Brooke to teach in the moment.
Being in the present moment creates authenticity and connection where both you and your clients truly grow.
Now that I have moved away and am working out of a studio of my own, I know that the confidence, insight, and fortitude that I gained from my apprenticeship with Brooke sets me apart. “

The program was definitely challenging in both the length of time and the depth of commitment. Claire remained present and trusting of the process. Open to learning and feedback, and able to integrate the feedback into both her teaching style and her workout progress.
