BBU continues this tradition with innovative Pilates Education through our worldwide network of master instructors. Our faculty here at EHS are experienced, caring and passionate Pilates instructors from a wide variety of backgrounds. Their rich diversity of experience and perspectives allow us to offer courses appropriate for studio, fitness and post-rehabilitation environments.

The EHS Pilates Institute has been developing the most talented Pilates professionals for over 15 years.

In 2009 we partnered with Balanced Body University for our Teacher Training program.  We continue to offer some of the best prerequisite programs around. These programs will better prepare you for the Teacher Training Program and your Pilates career.

A deeper understanding of Functional Anatomy and learning the Pilates repertoire in our Immersion will enhance your overall experience and take your learning to a much higher level. Our EHS Balanced Body faculty highly recommends that you take part in these pre-requisite programs. Remember, certification is only one part of your Pilates education. Everything you do leading up to the certification program shapes the teacher you will become!  We have found  students who attend the Immersion Program and Functional Anatomy with Clay become better, more successful students in the Teacher Training Program.

Our curriculum is straightforward and consistent with the current Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) guidelines.

Our program offers three levels of Pilates Instructor Training: Mat, Reformer and Comprehensive. Each level is offered in
affordable modules so you can take your first course now and
continue your training next week, next month or next year,
whichever works best for you. Each module is designed to allow
you to start teaching quickly and to continue learning as you
progress.
