Our instructors are comprehensively trained by one of the most distinguished teacher training programs in the world, Body Arts and Science International(BASI). Comprehensive certification is the gold standard in the Pilates industry, and ensures that the instructor has the qualifications and training to safely and effectively teach the method. While we encourage and support all other types of exercise, we treat Pilates as its own entity in the studio environment.
