Teacher Training

The Pilates Center Teacher Training Program is the most respected classical Pilates teacher training program in the world.

Romana Kryzanowska, direct heir to Joseph Pilates himself, personally assisted Amy and Rachel with the creation of their teacher training program in 1991. The Pilates Center has continued to teach Romana’s lineage as she gave it to them for over 30 years, making all of its over 1000 graduates officially third generation teachers for the Pilates method. 

The Advanced, Intermediate Plus, and Bridge programs each include Formal Lectures with a Licensed Teacher Trainer that offer detailed descriptions of every exercise in the method on all classical apparatus.

Internship hours are the heart of our program and they include observing certified teachers, taking Pilates lessons and classes, practice teaching, completing personal workouts, and a case study. Students are observed and given specific and personalized feedback on their teaching throughout the program.

The Pilates Center teacher training program includes extensive one-on-one mentorship and a depth of understanding of the method that far exceeds its competitors. In addition to teaching the technique of Pilates, the program includes pedagogical training on the art of teaching itself. You will learn to teach to the unique body in front of you, cuing your clients from your own perspective and understanding of movement.
