Comprehensive Classical Pilates Teacher training

Many students complete their course in one year. That said, if that is not the case there is no penalty for needing to extend the time in which it takes them to complete this comprehensive training program.

Required Elements

  • We highly recommend that you acquaint yourself with the fundamentals of Joseph Pilates and allocate at least 75 hours to practice Pilates on your own prior to your first training weekend. This will not only boost your confidence but also equip you with some familiarity to Pilates so you can actively participate in the seminar with enthusiasm. 

  • 600 hours of combined observation, student teaching and practice.  

  • Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2 at a college level or equivalent before the practicum. We have a course that meets this requirement - see our registration email  for information on The Lab | Anatomy or see our FAQ page for a way to do the anatomy requirement for free.

Enrollment includes course audits for life

  • Three written and practical exams throughout the course. Students take a series of what we call “level assessments” as part of a cumulative Practical Exam.  The components include video submissions, in-person teaching, written case studies and a quiz. This is also referred to as your Practicum.

  • Return to Life by Joseph Pilates is required reading. Titles written by Blandine Calais-Germain, especially Anatomy of Movement are helpful supplements to your anatomy journey. The Anatomy Trail Guide is a valuable anatomy text and can assist a beginner teacher in recognizing and recruiting particular muscles and muscle groups.

“Learning how to understand and recognize postural alignment in a body really helped me understand Pilates as a uniform system, as well as how to organize a flow and have intentional cueing. RPC taught me that!”

— Happy Student Whitney S., obtaining her 2nd certification with PBTT

What’s next?

Once you complete registration you will receive a welcome email explaining the next steps. Your manuals will be waiting for you when you arrive on the first day.  And remember, once a student, always a student. We encourage students to audit modules throughout the program and after graduation. This auditing process takes zero extra financial investment on your part and is an investment we make in you. We invest in our collective by keeping continued development accessible. 

We look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey together!
