Pilates Certification In New York City

If you live in or near New York City and are interested in becoming certified as a Pilates instructor, you're in luck. New York City is a center for Pilates in the United States. Because New York is the dance capital and musical theater capital of the U.S., it naturally attracts the country's best professional dancers.

Dance and Pilates have always gone hand in hand. George Balanchine and Martha Graham both used Pilates, and were among the first people to help make Pilates known to the public at large. Pilates is a natural second career for dancers in transition as well as dancers who need to supplement their incomes. New York's abundance of amazing dancers has helped make New York the center for Pilates innovation, technique, and training.

Sisters Katherine and Kimberly Corp are professional dancers who opened their studio, Pilates on Fifth, in 2000. In 2001, the Corps started teaching certification classes in the STOTT PILATES® style. In 2006, they opened the Pilates Academy International to teach Pilates certification classes in their own, unique style.

At the heart of Katherine and Kimberly Corp's teaching philosophy is a single goal: empowering future instructors to help their clients achieve their real-world goals. Every certification student who graduates from the Pilates Academy International should have the necessary tools to a.) listen to their clients' or students' goals, and b.) create safe, engaging exercises to help those clients achieve their goals. The Corps believe that a broad base of medical, biomechanical and anatomical knowledge is a must for Pilates teachers. When you study with us, you'll learn everything you need to approach Pilates from this strategic point of view.
