Pilates Teacher Training

Pilates will help you develop your inner strength, power, and agility. Developing these core principles will not only change your body but your life.

The BEYOND MOTION® Pilates Mat Certificate course gives you the skills necessary to teach an engaging, safe, and fun group fitness-style basic Pilates Mat class. While Mat Level 1, 2, 3, and Magic Circle may be taken as a stand-alone certificate course, these courses are included in the 450-hour training. You are not considered a fully certified Pilates Instructor unless you have completed the entire Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training course.

After years of being asked to train others in her techniques, Amy is excited to share BEYOND MOTION® Pilates Teacher Training programs. BEYOND MOTION® versatile Pilates Instructor Training program is sensitive to your time and budget.

Whether you want to have a career teaching Pilates, or you are just looking to deepen your practice, we can help you reach your personal goals.
