Our Approach
Learn our philosophy and the elements that make CPNYC programming stand out.
We’re traditionalists. And we’re progressive.
Two features on the face of Pilates educational programming that ensure students get the classical method and teachings of Joseph Pilates while learning and approaching the work with an open-mind, a strong sense of self and what each individual student can bring to the teachings. Since the start of our training programs 7 years ago we’ve provided students with an unsurpassed structured learning framework. This blueprint simplifies the learning experience and allows students to better understand the classical Pilates system, session design and integration, and how to deliver it. Our difference is in the delivery. Students develop a strong foundation that includes a critical eye toward technique, how to modify for injuries and special cases, how to see, communicate and make corrections, and the mechanics of the human body through our Anatomy in Clay workshops.
Our programs demand critical thought, creative explorations, “an eye toward why,” and individual breakthroughs of confidence and realizations as a teacher.
There is that “it” factor to a CPNYC trained instructor. Or so we’ve been told by top studios around the world that have hired our graduates. It’s an essence that has grown organically within our program’s message and seeded itself within all our students.
We try to understand while you are, we learn from you as you are learning, and we anticipate your needs before you know you need it. An online learning center to keep things interactive anytime, anywhere? Online manuals with video demo’s? Anatomy in Clay? We have vision and create teachers that do too.
The Core Advantage
Six of our very best qualities that keep us (and you!) one step ahead of the rest.
Classical
Learning the pure teachings of Joseph Pilates’ Method is the best foundation from which to begin your career as a Pilates professional.
Mentorship
Students get to concentrate each month of apprenticeship on various “mentors,” CPNYC senior faculty and guest teachers. Observe, have sit downs… an intimate learning experience.
Fun With Anatomy
Goodbye charts and lectures. Hello skeletons and clay! Build bones and muscles with clay on manikens for an unforgettable and close-up education on the foundation of human anatomy.
Reputation
With trainings conducted in Hong Kong, Japan, NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Rome our reputation as a worldwide leader in Pilates training prevails.
Innovation
A student login gains you access to the next generation of Pilates education. Online video-based manuals on your phone, kindle or ipad, worldwide alumni chat…all this and more within our Online Learning Center… coming soon.
Variety
Whether it’s a Comprehensive curriculum, module-based courses to progress at your own pace or participating in our Satellite program for distance learners, CPNYC delivers programs based on your needs and goals.

Work Study Program
Pay a little, then work off the majority of your tuition in our studios with our work study opportunities. A few positions are reserved for each course and the positions are in high demand. Since its introduction 5 years ago, we have been thrilled to offer this alternative to help students reach their goals course after course.
Scholarship Program
This is our newest assistance program that seeks to give a committed and specially qualified candidate a “full ride” for one Comprehensive Course and Mat Training Course per year. It’s our hope to reward new directions to a student who might not otherwise have been able to expend the cost of the courses or time in a work study position.
