Mindful Movement offers the highest quality Pilates teacher training through one of the world leaders in the industry, Balanced Body Education. Our program is part of the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) Registry of Schools and teaches both the classical and rehabilitative aspects of Pilates.

Pilates Instructor Training and Certification

Classes are taught in modules, over a weekend. Students will learn how to teach a comprehensive Pilates program to clients at any level on the mat, reformer, trapeze table, chairs and barrels. We cover the classical Pilates repertoire along with specific precautions for clients with injury or special considerations. Students may take the comprehensive course all at once, or divide their education into shorter sections. We offer training on the mat only, mat and reformer only in addition to the comprehensive course.

Students will receive a certificate of completion from Balanced Body after each module, and their comprehensive certificate of completion after successful completion of the 502 program hours, and passing both written and practical exams. Students who successfully complete the program and graduate and are awarded a certificate of completion from Balanced Body Education.

After graduation, students are eligible for the PMA Pilates Certification Exam. The Pilates comprehensive certificate of completion is required in order to sit for the PMA exam. Individuals who pass the exam earn the PMA Certified Pilates Teacher designation, and are then permitted to use PMA-CPT after their name. The PMA is the only body eligible to certify Pilates professionals, thereby setting an industry-wide standard of competency, safety, and professionalism in the field.
