THE TRAINER
Raihan
Raihan is a Malaysian-born movement guide, Pilates teacher and ex-martial-arts coach, helping people reconnect with their bodies through movement that feels nourishing - not punishing.
Certified in Mat and Reformer Pilates through Breathe Education (Melbourne), what she really teaches is moving with joy, curiosity and presence. Her sessions are equal parts playful and grounding.

The MILOA Academy teaches what truly stands behind every Reformer Pilates class - the art of moving people and creating emotional flow.
Led by the extraordinary Raihan, our Academy shapes new masters of this unique, special sport and lifestyle.
Our exclusive instructor training program goes far beyond the traditional approach. Over 10 intensive days, you’ll learn to lead with presence, and to take people on a journey they will never forget - far away from the noise of everyday life, yet deeply connected to themselves. Together, we dive deep into cueing, sequencing, and the unique art of creating an emotional experience through movement.
The Academy is where teaching becomes art.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior Pilates experience to apply?
You don't need to be an advanced practitioner - but you do need a genuine relationship with movement. We welcome beginners with a strong foundation and an open mind, as well as experienced practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of teaching. Every application is reviewed individually.
Is the MILOA Certificate officially recognised?
The MILOA Reformer Certificate is not issued by an international governing body - and we're transparent about that. What it represents is something different: a standard of teaching built from the very best of Reformer Pilates methodology, anatomy, movement science, and real studio practice.
The MILOA Academy doesn't just teach you theory. You'll learn how to plan and structure a class from scratch, how to cue with precision and flow, how to correct clients safely, and how to offer meaningful modifications - so that every person in your class feels seen and challenged in exactly the right way.
What you leave with is not just a certificate. It's the confidence, the toolkit, and the teaching identity to lead a class that people will talk about long after they've left the studio.
Many studios - including MILOA - actively seek instructors trained in this approach. Graduates of the MILOA Academy are equipped to teach professionally, independently, and at a level that goes far beyond what most certifications prepare you for.
How many participants are in each intake?
Each programme is intentionally limited to 6 participants - in both the Intensive and Weekend Model. This means every participant receives direct feedback, personal attention, and the space to truly grow. Once the 6 spots are filled, the intake is closed.
What is included in the Goodie Bag?
A curated selection of MILOA products and essentials to support your training - details are kept as a little surprise until the day you arrive.
What makes the MILOA Academy different from other Reformer trainings?
Most trainings teach you the exercises. We teach you how to move people - emotionally, physically, and energetically. The focus on cueing, flow, and creating an experience is what sets our approach apart. You leave not just certified, but transformed in how you think about teaching.
Can I use the MILOA studio to complete my practice teaching hours?
Yes - studio access for self-practice is included in all packages, subject to availability. The number of hours varies by package (Joy: 3h / Journey: 7h / Signature: 10h).
