Pilates Teacher Training

InsideOut Body Therapies' Pilates Teacher Training is one of the first in the country to be licensed from The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado.

The Pilates Center Teacher Training Program is one of the most respected, comprehensive, and intensive programs of its kind in the world. Students are taught classical Pilates and study every exercise on every piece of equipment in-depth.

Why choose the IOBT Pilates Teacher Training

The Pilates Teacher Training at InsideOut Body Therapies is a comprehensive training that includes an in-depth study of the entire Pilates System. Your training will be taught by Master Pilates Teachers and Physical Therapists with thousands of hours of teaching and rehabilitation experience who have apprenticed with second and third generation Pilates Teachers. You will gain a deep understanding of both the theory and application of the Pilates System on all the pieces of Pilates equipment as well as the mat. The training demands not just the straightforward memorization of the full repertoire of classical exercises, but will develop your perceptual, pedagogical, and embodiment skills allowing you to teach the form to widest possible client population.

Our training is 950 hours and will prepare you to work in any professional Pilates studio. You will graduate with the skill set to work with a variety of clients from the chronic pain patient to the professional athlete and dancer. Participants learn the anatomy and kinesiology involved with Pilates and functional training. And you will also be prepared to sit for the PMA® National Certification Exam

Our Pilates Teacher Training will challenge you to develop and grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. It will also encourage you to become a better teacher. Our Training hones the skills you will use daily to read the body in movement, see muscular patterning, and create training sessions for both individuals and groups. We also will train you to communicate and cue your clients through a supportive atmosphere of mentorship and apprenticeship that includes practical exams, constructive feedback, and teaching clinics. ALL the classical material (Beginning to Advanced) along with countless modifications are presented in a logical and precise way that not only allows you to progress your clients effectively, but gives permission for your creativity and love of movement to flourish within your new career.

InsideOut limits the number of students per year in the Training in order to provide the individual attention and care that ensures a clear transmission of Joseph Pilates' movement lineage. Participants in the Training must have Pilates experience and be practicing at an Intermediate Level.

The Pilates Teacher Training requires attendance at both the Spring and Fall Formal Lecture Series. Students will also be required to complete the Internship and pass exams before receiving their certificate of completion. There are 900 total hours required to complete the program.
