Observation Hours

Observation hours are completed by observing an instructor lead either a group or private session. Fifty percent of a student’s observation hours can be completed online by watching videos on BASI Interactive or our BASI YouTube page. We hope each BASI Pilates student will have the opportunity to work directly with BASI instructors. However, we understand that not everyone has access to a BASI studio or instructor. For this reason, we do not require observation hours to be completed with BASI Instructors.

Self-Practice Hours

Self-practice hours are completed by attending sessions with a BASI instructor, practicing with fellow students, or practicing independently. These hours can be completed either at a studio or at home.

Student Teaching Hours

Student teaching hours are spent teaching other students, family members friends and eventually clients. Teaching can take place in a studio or at home.

Student hours may be completed at your Host Studio (some terms apply) or at any Pilates studio that allows you to use their space (some studios may charge a studio use fee—check with your local studio owner for their terms and conditions). 

Keeping Track of Hours

Students will log their hours in the BASI Portal. Video or signature verification of completed hours is not required. To log hours, go to your course in the BASI Portal and click on the Student Hours tab.
