Meet Cara Hazelton
An esteemed Pilates teacher for nearly 20 years with over 25,000 hours of hands-on teaching experience, Cara owns two established Pilates studios and leads the largest Classical Pilates teacher training program in Canada. Since 2014, Cara has served as a teacher trainer, graduating dozens of comprehensively trained Pilates instructors worldwide. Her approach is deeply informed by a Master’s Degree in the Science of Kinesiology, ensuring that both her teaching and training programs are grounded in contemporary movement science.
LEAD Pilates was born out of a desire to equalize access to reliable Pilates knowledge, education, and training. Cara’s methodology values skill and integrity, believing it to be the foundation of every Pilates offering, whether it’s Pilates private training, Reformer fitness, or fun Mat classes with props. In creating an online learning platform, known as LEAD, Cara hopes to expand her reach as an educator — fostering healthier bodies, informed practitioners, and thriving studios built on trust and expertise.
