Bridging to Balanced Body® Education
Our Balanced Body Pilates Bridge program was created for students who have either started Pilates teacher training with another organization and want to transfer to Balanced Body, or who have completed a Pilates training and are interested in being certified as a Balanced Body Pilates Instructor.
We know that each student’s educational experience is unique, and we designed our bridge to accommodate a wide variety of students and training. Students’ experiences and coursework will be individually evaluated, and if accepted, a course of study will be recommended. Balanced Body offers bridging program options for Mat, Reformer, Mat & Reformer, and/or Comprehensive training.
