MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS

Meet Nikkii Behrens

There’s a difference between getting certified and becoming a teacher.

Nikkii, founder of NH and Rare Street and StayRare is an international Pilates educator, studio owner and mentor known for her sold-out live teacher trainings and her ability to turn knowledge into real-world teaching confidence.

Many students come to Nikkii already certified — sometimes through some of the biggest names in Pilates — yet still not feeling ready to teach, structure a class or confidently walk into a studio.

That’s where Rare Street is different.

Nikkii doesn’t teach you to simply pass an exam or memorize a repertoire. She teaches you how to see bodies, understand movement, cue with purpose, adapt intelligently and command a room with confidence.

The result? Graduates who finally feel ready to teach — and who are regularly hired by studios soon after completing their training.

Backed by decades of international experience across Pilates, yoga and holistic health, Nikkii has created the online Rare Street Teacher Training to bring the depth, mentorship and real-world standard of her sold-out in-person trainings to you — wherever you are.

Don’t just get certified. Become the teacher studios want to hire and clients want to come back to.

Meet Chrisen Presence

Anatomy shouldn’t be something you memorise for an exam. It should make you a better teacher.

Chrisen Presence brings 16+ years of Pilates experience, more than 20,000 classes taught and over 1,000 instructors trained and mentored to the anatomy component of the Rare Street Online Teacher Training.

With a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy alongside qualifications in Pilates, yoga, personal training and strength & conditioning, Chrisen has a rare ability to turn complex anatomy and movement science into knowledge you can actually use on the studio floor.

His philosophy is simple: knowing anatomy isn’t enough — you need to know how to apply it.

Chrisen teaches you to understand the body, recognise movement patterns, solve problems and make intelligent teaching decisions — without getting lost in complicated terminology.

His extensive experience as an educator, mentor, studio manager and international Pilates presenter means you’re learning anatomy from someone who understands exactly what great teachers need in the real world.

No memorising anatomy just to pass the test.

Understand it. Apply it. Teach with confidence.
