Comprehensive Pilates Training
The Body Organics Education® Comprehensive Pilates Training Certification is a fully comprehensive course that equips you with the skills to teach the Pilates Method to diverse clients.

Our in-depth training supports your learning journey at every step, focusing on teaching you movement concepts that unlock limitless repertoire development and understanding.
Online Pilates Training and Face-to-Face Learning
The Body Organics Education® Comprehensive Pilates Training Certification utilises a multi-modal approach to enhance your learning experience, ensuring better retention of information and boosting your confidence as a teacher. The course material, covering anatomy, teaching methodology, and repertoire, is initially introduced through online video lessons, which are then reinforced and expanded upon during face-to-face workshops. This layered learning approach provides you with quality resources and ongoing support to review and deepen your understanding over time. Through self-mastery and supervised teaching, you will solidify your knowledge and skills. Additionally, specialised webinars featuring esteemed teachers from across the country offer in-depth insights into a variety of subjects, enriching your learning journey.
We offer face to face training in Australia and the USA. Our teacher trainers all have years of experience as Pilates teachers and studio owners. You will learn how to teach the Pilates Method and how to communicate and work with clients in a variety of settings.
No Prior Learning Required. No Enrolment Fees.
Unlike most Pilates certifications that require an additional fee for anatomy and physiology courses, Body Organics Education® includes them as part of your certification. Our comprehensive program integrates anatomy seamlessly into your training journey. Initially, you will learn anatomy through our online courses, and then it will be reinforced and integrated into the repertoire and programming during the face-to-face modules. This structured approach allows you ample time to digest the material, ensuring a solid foundation before progressing and building upon your acquired knowledge.
We do not charge students an enrolment fee, for starting in our courses. Nor do we charge fees for mutual recognition of prior training. We work with our students to ensure that they are paying for quality education not administration hassles.

Course Content
The Body Organics Education Comprehensive Certification is taught online and in person with the content divided into six blocks of learning. We have worked to create layers of understanding and knowledge so that you can refer back to your online material throughout your course and use your face to face training to practice what you’ve learnt and really focus on your skills as a teacher. This will allow you insights into movement, repertoire and pathology without being overwhelmed by too much information in one go. You will first receive access to each block’s online course material to go through before the face to face workshops and tutorials which will build on the knowledge acquired through the online learning. To read more about the content of the online modules in each block, follow the links below:
In this block you will go through the foundations of movement anatomy as well as teaching basics. There is a strong focus on the principles of human movement and how this relates to the Pilates repertoire. Specifically, you will here learn the repertoire for the Mat work and learn to recognise those principles in the exercises you are being taught.

Block three will introduce the more complex patterned reformer exercises which build on the exercises taught in block two. You will also be introduced to the repertoire of the Arcs and Barrels and learn how to use them in Mat and Reformer group class settings. In this block you will focus on putting together your knowledge of anatomy, repertoire, cueing and programming. Your teachers will assist you in finetuning your teaching skills so that you feel completely ready and confident to teach classes on your own.
