Teacher Training

Mat & Reformer Certification  ·  2026

At Foundation Pilates, our teacher training programs blend classical Pilates principles with the Foundation Pilates Method — a modern, intentional approach focused on functional movement, precision, and confident teaching. Both certifications are structured as weekend intensives and supported by weekly instructor-led studio hours, included in tuition, so trainees can observe, practice, and take classes throughout the program.
