The short answer is: No, and here is why. The National Pilates Certification Program (NPCP) is a third-party governing body. While they set high standards, the vast majority of respected, boutique teacher trainings (like this one) are independent education providers.

We have chosen to remain independent to keep our curriculum agile and modern. This allows us to teach classical Controllogy alongside the latest research in fascia, neuroscience, and biomechanics without being restricted by a rigid syllabus.

Yes. Insurance providers in Canada (and most of the US) generally require a certification from a recognized training program that includes a set number of practical and theory hours. Upon successful completion of this training (including your practice teaching and exams), you will receive a Certificate of Completion. Our graduates typically obtain professional liability insurance through standard fitness insurance providers (such as HUB International, Sports Canada, or local equivalents) who recognize our curriculum’s depth.

Yes. This is a comprehensive Mat Pilates Teacher Training. The Mat is the foundation of the entire Pilates method. Mastering the Mat is the hardest and most important skill a teacher can learn. Once you can teach bodies in space (without the assistance of springs), you can teach anything. This is the perfect launchpad for your career before investing in expensive equipment training.

Absolutely. You do not need to be able to perform a perfect “Teaser” to be an incredible teacher. In fact, some of the best teachers are those who have had to work through their own stiffness or injuries.

Prerequisites: We ask that you have taken at least 10 Pilates classes (online or in-person) prior to the start date so you are familiar with the basic vocabulary. We will teach you the rest.

This is an immersion-style training. Trainings that are only one weekend don’t set you up for success!

    •    During the weekends: We maximize our time with hands-on breakdown, anatomy, and cueing labs.

    •    Between/After: You will have homework, observation hours, and self-practice assignments to solidify what you learned.

There is a weekend in between to decompress and take in the knowledge!

By the end of the second weekend, you won’t just “know” the exercises; you will have practiced teaching them repeatedly in small groups. You will leave confident enough to teach a beginner class.

Because this is an accelerated format, 100% attendance is mandatory to receive your certification. We cover critical safety and anatomy components every single morning.
