Balanced Body Pilates Instructor Training

Overview

The Balanced Body Pilates Instructor Training program is designed to create thoughtful, creative and successful Pilates teachers. Our program offers an assessment-based certificate of completion, based on the recommendations of the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA). Our courses are taught in modular segments and are offered by a highly qualified master instructor. This allows students flexibility and convenience in choosing when, where and how to complete the program.

Programs in Brief

Anatomy — To be the best Pilates instructor you can be, a solid foundation in Anatomy is required. If you’ve never take anatomy, we offer two courses: A basic anatomy class, or a more in-depth course where you’ll build the muscles in clay. If you’ve taken an anatomy course, you just need to get it approved.

Movement Principles — This course illustrates the bio-mechanics of the human body – how a healthy body moves – and basic exercises. The class provides critical information about why Pilates works and how to use it successfully. Required for all modules.

Mat — The most basic of our options, the Mat program requires a student to successfully complete both Mat I and Mat II modules. Anatomy and Movement Principles are pre-requisites, teaching, and observation hours are required to complete the program.

Mat and Reformer — This covers all Reformer work plus the mat work. For successful completion candidates will need to take the following modules: Mat I and Mat II; Reformer I, II, III. Anatomy and Movement Principles are pre-requisites. Teaching and observation hours are also required to complete the program.

Reformer (only) — Coming in 2019. This covers all Reformer work. For successful completion candidates will need to take the following modules:  Reformer I, II, III. Anatomy and Movement Principles are pre-requisites. Teaching and observation hours are also required to complete the program.

Comprehensive — This is an in-depth exploration of Pilates from mat to barrels and all that lies in between. The comprehensive modules include: Mat I and Mat II; Reformer I, II, III; Tower or Trapeze Table, Chair and Barrels. Anatomy and Movement Principles are pre-requisites. Teaching and observation hours are also required to complete the program.
