Pure Balance Pilates Instructor Training Program

The Pure Balance Pilates Teacher Training Course prepares participants to lead private and group Pilates sessions on the Reformer with a trauma-informed and size-inclusive curriculum. The course covers anatomy as it relates to Pilates, the history of the Pilates method, and Pilates Mat and Reformer repertoire for general and special populations. Participants will also learn how to effectively teach and design class programming. Welcoming students from all fitness levels and backgrounds, this program emphasizes Pilates as a practice of connecting with the wisdom of our bodies and nurturing our potential. Whether you're pursuing a teaching role or seeking to deepen your practice, you'll dive deep into Pilates principles, gain hands-on experience, and learn to create an inclusive, supportive environment for a diverse community.

Participants who successfully complete the program will receive a certificate of completion, which reflects their training in Pilates Mat and Reformer. This is not a national certification through a third-party organization. However, a certificate of completion is considered standard for employment at many Pilates studios, including Pure Balance Pilates.

While successful completion makes you eligible for a teaching position at Pure Balance, it does not guarantee employment.
