BASI Pilates Teacher Training will begin at Studio Blue the weekend of April 5th, 2014. See class schedule below.

BASI Pilates teacher training is a college-level program for anyone who is serious about making a profession of Pilates.

The BASI Comprehensive Teachers Training course (CTTC)is the most rigorous in the business, and a student needs to pass all of it in order to be accredited as a teacher by BASI. There are no half-measures. As the term comprehensive implies, this course is NOT splintered into individual apparatus and many levels, as some programs are; it is about the whole. BASI believes that a teacher needs to be familiar with it all.
The curriculum covers physiology, applied anatomy, the theory of movement, the principles of alignment and posture, exercise assessment and teaching methodologies, as well as an in-depth introduction to the classical Pilates repertoire and its appropriate application.

Your education will cover the full range of Pilates equipment: Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel and various other Auxiliary apparatus.

  • Attendance of all modules
  • Examination process including written assignment
  • Teaching observation: up to 100 hours
  • Student teaching: up to 200 hours
  • Practice: over 200 hours

A CTTC graduate has both the knowledge and the accreditation to teach students of all levels on all apparatus. We do not give partial accreditation for a partial education. It may sound severe, but it maintains the extremely high standard of our education and it avoids misinterpretation. There is never any question about what a BASI-trained teacher is, or is not, qualified to teach.

Devised by BASI Pilates founder Rael Isacowitz, the Block System® is a unique and specialized ‘filing’ system for the hundreds of exercises in the Pilates repertoire. It categorizes them in a logical sequence and ensures the progressive structuring of classes within a flexible framework.

The Block System encourages progressive thinking within a structure, a plan, a map. It enables the instructor to construct a class that is balanced, well-rounded and addresses all planes of movement and multiple muscle groups. In short, the Block System is a methodology for categorizing exercises and using them to structure routines.

As is clear from the name, the Block System categorizes each exercise in the Pilates repertoire into one or more of 12 Blocks:

  • Warm Up
  • Foot Work
  • Abdominal Work
  • Hip Work
  • Spinal Articulation
  • Stretches
  • Arm Work
  • Leg Work
  • Full Body Integration
  • Lateral Flexion / Rotation
  • Back Extension
