Mission Statement
Body Arts and Science International® - in
short, BASI Pilates® - is a teaching institute
specializing in the training and continuing
education of Pilates instructors.
this by preserving the classical
repertoire of the founders of Pilates and
supplementing it with contemporary
experience and scientific knowledge. The
result is an approach to the teaching of
Pilates, which is both true to the roots of
the Method and valid in terms of the most
up-to-date research and understanding.
Established in 1989, BASI Pilates® was
one of the first companies to introduce
curriculum-based studies for Pilates
instructors. BASI founder and CEO, Rael
Isacowitz, has been teaching the Method
for over 30 years and is one of the most
prominent and respected Pilates teachers
in the world.
A BASI Pilates education covers three
overlapping fields:
• A thorough understanding of the science underlying the Pilates Method, including physiology, applied anatomy, the principles of alignment and posture.
BASI Pilates is dedicated to formulating
and maintaining the highest possible
professional standards for the teaching of
Pilates. As the company’s name indicates,
BASI approaches the Pilates method
as both an art and a science – i.e. the
exercise of human creativity and skill, as
well as a branch of knowledge that can be
systematically taught and studied.
• The classical Pilates repertoire.
• BASI innovations and teaching methodologies.
The latter include the BASI® Block System,
a method of classifying Pilates exercises
and building them into workouts, and an
entirely new repertoire of exercises based
on the Avalon® System, a line of equipment
designed by Rael Isacowitz.
The mission of BASI Pilates is to
perpetuate the work of Joseph and Clara
Pilates by educating teachers of the
highest caliber. The company accomplishes

• Familiarity with the teachings of Joseph Pilates.
• Applicants must have a High School diploma or equivalent (G.E.D. exam).
• Experience in a related form of physical activity.

Non-Discrimination Policy

its educational programs or activities,
including employment and admissions.
Qualification and Credentials
Students who successfully complete the
BASI Pilates Comprehensive Teacher
Training, CTTC with Specializations, CTTC
with Dance or ProBridge receive a BASI
Pilates Teaching Diploma. Students who
complete the Mat Teacher Training course
receive a certificate of completion.
Other certificate courses provided by BASI
are Pilates for Injuries & Pathologies, Peand Post-Natal Pilates and the Ultimate
Pilates program (comprising the Mentor,
Master and Master Reunion programs.)
27
Qualification and Credentials continued
Diplomas and certificates are sent to the
address that we have on file when all
BASI Pilates requirements have been met.
These include satisfactory attendance of
all modules, passing scores on all required
exams, submission and acceptance of
the research paper and completion and
submission of all observation, self-practice
and practice teaching hours.
BASI Pilates reserves the right to withhold
a certificate if the student has not
satisfactorily completed all requirements
or met the financial obligations.
Terminology
In keeping with regulatory requirements,
BASI Pilates has ceased using the term
“certification” to describe the certificate of
qualification that it provides.
The correct professional meaning of
“certification” is third-party assessment of
knowledge, training and skills according
to predetermined standards. Certification
(also called licensing in certain
professions) is provided by independent,
non-educational bodies, such as medical
boards, legal bar associations and, in our
profession, the PMA. These certification
bodies assess the knowledge and skills
of people who have attended training
courses, such as those run by BASI Pilates.
has provided over the years and that is
held in the highest esteem within the
Pilates profession.
Only the terminology has changed. As
Pilates matures and enters the mainstream,
it is incumbent upon the method’s
thought-leaders to adopt and maintain
professional standards. That is exactly
what BASI Pilates is doing.
The term now used by BASI to describe
the credentials received by students who complete its teacher training courses is BASI Pilates Teaching Diploma.
It is identical to the certificate that BASI

Programs of Study:
Advanced Education
Pilates is now firmly in the mainstream of
the health & fitness industry
As the popularity of the method grows,
instructors are faced with the challenge
of dealing with infinite types of clients,
each with her/his individual needs,
abilities, chronic injuries or pathologies. It
is a daunting prospect, even for a highly
experienced professional.
At the same time, mainstream exposure
has led to the use of Pilates methods and
exercises in a wide range of disciplines,
from strengthening athletes to relieving
pain and alleviating some of the physical
manifestations of conditions such as
Parkinson. Pilates professionals now have
the opportunity to expand their scope
and enrich their careers – if they have the
appropriate training.
Program Description

need to succeed and prosper in today’s very competitive commercial environment. The
