Beacon Pilates has a robust Teacher Training and Continuing Education program. We are an affiliate studio with Power Pilates in NYC and offer all the same certifications programs here in our Beacon studio.
Pilates is a powerful set of tools, one that inspires some practitioners to share it with others. We commend you for your interest in becoming a Pilates teacher. It is a wonderful profession filled with the joy of knowing you are making a difference in people's lives. Power Pilates is the premier Pilates education. Often referred to as the Harvard of the Pilates education. Thank you for your interest.
If you are interested in doing more than one certification there are discounts when you register for both at the same time. If you are already certified from another organization but are interested in becoming certified by Power Pilates discounts apply as well. Please inquire directly with us regarding those questions.
Continuing Education
These courses are for certified Pilates Instructors who are looking for new inspiration in their teaching and a review of exercise techniques.
We pack in a whole lot of information with a whole lot of fun!
Questions are always welcome.
Each course can be used for Power Pilates CECs. Each hour equals 1 CEC. Many courses also count toward Pilates Method Alliance CECs as well.
