CORE intelligence
60hr PILATES TEACHER TRAINING
Strengthen your center. Refine your movement. Elevate your teaching.
Core Intelligence is a powerful, movement-based immersion into the art and science of Pilates. Designed for yoga teachers, movement professionals, and committed practitioners, this training explores the foundational principles of functional core work while cultivating deep anatomical understanding, embodied awareness, and intelligent teaching skills.
Whether you are looking to teach Pilates as a stand-alone practice or integrate it into your current offerings, this training will empower you with the tools to sequence with confidence, cue with clarity, and help your students build strength, mobility, and core stability from the inside out.
🌀 What You’ll Learn

Explore the structure and function of the deep stabilizing system—spine, pelvis, diaphragm, abdominals and more. Learn to identify dysfunctional patterns and activate the body’s natural intelligence for stability and efficient movement.
2. The Principles of Pilates
Precision. Breath. Flow. Centering. Control. Learn the philosophical and practical pillars that define this mind-body discipline and make it a transformational modality.
3. Pilates Exercises & Sequencing
Study a comprehensive repertoire of mat-based exercises with variations and prop use. Understand how to build smart, balanced classes for different levels and bodies.
4. The Art of Teaching Core Work
Refine your verbal cues, enhance your observation skills, and guide with purpose. You’ll learn to teach safe, functional movement with presence, clarity, and skill—integrating hands-on assists, modifications, and progressive sequencing.
5. Philosophy: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
The deep stability we cultivate in the body mirrors the inner steadiness we seek in the mind. Through daily reflections on the Yoga Sutras, we’ll explore the timeless teachings on focus, discipline, and the inner journey.
