The Program
Hey, hey, hey. Are you passionate about Pilates and want to get certified to teach? We’ve got you covered. We’ll teach you everything from anatomy to how to plan classes and cue properly, while you also receive the mentorship and practice hours to meet ITTAP and NPCP standards.
Our Mat program is currently ITTAP accredited and the remainder of our comprehensive program is in the final review process with ITTAP. Our NPCP-certified teachers will work with you through different learning methods, from online modules to in-person practice and hands-on demos.
When you finish, you’ll be awarded a certificate you can take to any studio and be proud of.
