ITT PILATES Programs
Each one of our programs is grounded in anatomy and stems from the ITT Pilates Essential Exercises. Decide which path is right for you. Courses are scheduled on weekends, with Teaching Labs scheduled on weeknights. Depending on which program you choose, plan on spending a minimum of 5-10 hours per week, in addition to the weekend intensives, in order to practice the material and complete the required hours for the Final exam.
Students are encouraged to use our Home Studio, A Body of Work, for their self-practice hours, student teaching hours and observation hours, all included in the price of the program.
Choose Your Path
No matter what path you choose, the Foundation of our training begins with Anatomy & Core Dynamics. This course will give you an introduction to anatomy and how we find our inner core muscles. You will learn why it is so important for movement instructors to guide the body in healthy movement patterns.
This in-depth training incorporates the Essential Exercises to deepen self-awareness and learn the building blocks for dynamic movement in Mat exercises. We provide you with the tools to develop excellent teaching skills and the confidence to become employed as a Pilates Mat Instructor.
The Reformer is the centerpiece of any Pilates studio for developing strength and flexibility. Students who already have their Mat Training from another institution are welcome to join the Reformer Training with self study of our Essential Exercises.
Our ITT Pilates combined Mat & Reformer Training gives you complete instruction in the Mat and Reformer repertoire. You will have the flexibility to work on and off equipment for private and/or group classes
The ITT Pilates Comprehensive Training is a career-oriented program. This in-depth training teaches you how to apply the ITT Pilates principles of sound biomechanics with insightful cueing. Becoming an ITT Pilates Comprehensive Instructor gives you the confidence to teach a variety of individuals and the ability to help people reach their full movement potential.
ITT Pilates graduates are welcome to take any course again for 50% off.
And our Master Level Workshops are available for accomplished and professional movement instructors from any program.
“ITT PILATES exceeded my expectations…I am so grateful that I took it and put in the work necessary to do it. I felt Like my craft was enriched so much, and my ability to see people, to see their bodies and their issues was so much improved.”
