Courses We Offer

​
BASI offers three distinct certification programs, and the one you choose will depend on your goals as an instructor. Students of all levels are welcome to enroll in any program. There are no prerequisites for course enrollment. However, we recommend that students have some prior familiarity with Pilates and a basic understanding of human anatomy before beginning the course. 


Mat Program


Mat Teacher Training is an excellent introduction to the principles of the Pilates Method. It's affordable, versatile for various settings, and an ideal way to introduce people to Pilates. At BASI, we consider Pilates Mat Work to be the “crown jewel” of Pilates.

The Mat Program offers a complete education in Pilates Mat Work and its countless applications. It also serves as an excellent foundation for the Comprehensive Program available both in the U.S. and internationally. The Mat Program curriculum is the same for all students, whether U.S.-based or global.



The program spans four days (modules), delivered through a combination of in-studio sessions and pre-recorded lectures. In-studio modules focus on discussions, exercise analysis, and practice, while theoretical content is covered through online lectures that can be viewed at your convenience.

Students will learn all levels of Mat repertoire. The full program structure can be found here on our website. 

The Mat Program is offered both in-studio and entirely online. For Mat Online, there are no in-studio sessions; instead, students meet with Faculty via Zoom for their modules. You can find all Mat Online courses here on our website.

Upon completion of the course and all program requirements, students will receive their Mat certification.



Mat and Reformer Program


The Mat and Reformer Program combines the BASI Foundation Reformer repertoire with the Mat work teacher training program. Students who successfully complete this program are eligible to continue on to the Comprehensive Program.



This program spans four days (modules) and is delivered through a blend of in-studio sessions and pre-recorded lectures. In-studio modules focus on discussions, exercise analysis, and hands-on practice, while theoretical content is provided through online lectures that can be viewed at your convenience.

Students will learn all levels of Mat repertoire and up to intermediate Reformer repertoire. The full program structure is available here on our website.

Upon completing the course and all program requirements, students will receive their Mat and Reformer Certification.



Comprehensive Program


The Comprehensive Global Program includes the Mat Program, providing a thorough and complete education in Pilates covering the full range of Pilates equipment, including Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Ped-a-pul, Ladder Barrel, Step Barrel, and various other auxiliary apparatus.



This program is offered in two formats. The Flex format consists of eight modules spread over several days, combining in-studio sessions with pre-recorded lectures. In-studio modules include discussions, exercise analysis, and hands-on practice, while theoretical content is delivered through online lectures that you can watch at your own pace. The Global format is entirely in-studio, with both lectures and repertoire taught in person. This format spans 12 days and is often divided into two parts: Foundation (6 days) and Graduate (6 days).

The program structure can be found here on our website. After completion of the course and all program requirements, students will receive the Comprehensive certification.
