Completion of the course allows you to sit for the certification exam through the National Pilates Certification Program (NPCP).


The EARLY BIRD total investment for the course is $6,500. Pricing is in effect until November 15, 2023.



What's included:


  • Learn to teach Pilates on all apparatus (Mat, Trapeze Table, Chair, Ladder Barrel and Spine Corrector)
  • 12 days of seminars in six modules (Six weekends)
  • Check-offs and mini-tests
  • Year-end review and Q&A

The studio can accommodate observation, practice and teaching hours during off-peak studio hours. However, hours are not required to be completed at Body Aligned. In order to self-practice and teach, you will be required to carry professional liability insurance.



Prerequisites to attend course:


A minimum of 25 hours of Pilates practice (mat and equipment) prior to starting the course. 

I highly recommend an anatomy course and that you read the following three books prior to the start of the course. (All available on Amazon.)
