Pilates Instruction

Pilates Education & Pilates Instruction

 

Body Arts and Science International was founded by Rael Isacowitz, M.A. He has designed and developed a program integrating the art and the science of human movement. He has used his understanding of human physiology and movement and his skill in the complex teachings of Joseph Pilates to offer a contemporary approach to Pilates instruction. If you are interested in obtaining a unique and artfully developed Pilates education, you must consider Body Arts and Science International first. The courses we teach worldwide offer first of all a fundamental background in anatomy, physiology and the theories of movement developed by Rael Isacowitz. But moreover, our instructors give a complete and thorough Pilates education, giving you an understanding of the Pilates exercises as well as the responsibility for the correct and appropriate application of these techniques. These are the goals our instructors have reached, and will help you reach.

The encompassing Pilates instruction offered throughout various locations worldwide is an educational vehicle. Our instruction in Pilates upholds the highest standards of the methods and research of Joseph Pilates. We can teach you the same essence of the philosophy he began teaching over 70 years ago. He held an ideology that all people would benefit from any range of simple Pilates instruction to a vital and total Pilates education. Today, we continue that ideology, and expand these teachings of the Pilates method by offering the best Pilates instruction known internationally.

When you are finished, you will have more than just Pilates Certification, you will have a college level education!

To help you plan your time, set your goal for finishing your requirements within a specified time. If you want to obtain your certification in one year, you need to spend 13-15 hours a week doing Pilates.

For example, you will need to do:

Class observation         3hours/week or 12hours/mongth

Class attendance           3 hours/week or 12 hours/month
