Anywhere in the world.
A whole new world of Core education is coming. Our signature approach to classical Pilates training, reimagined for wherever life takes you. Thoughtful instruction, exceptional standards, and the freedom to learn from anywhere.
Our self-paced online experience that includes live support.
The foundation of the method, taught the Core way.
Build your understanding of the apparatus and its foundational repertoire.
Join the early-interest list for first access and perks when enrollment opens.
There's knowing the exercises. And then there's knowing how to see, understand, and teach the person in front of you. That's the difference.
Classical versus progressive. It's a thing. Learn the original method inside and out—and how to make it work for the person in front of you.
You'll become fluent in the classical Mat and apparatus repertoire, its original form, and the art of teaching it. We respect how Pilates has evolved, but we believe a strong classical foundation gives you the versatility to adapt thoughtfully.
You'll be prepared. You'll be marketable. And you'll see the method differently.
We're not handing you a manual and wishing you luck. At Core, your faculty and community are part of the journey.
From monthly faculty mentor meetings in the Comprehensive Program to dedicated communication channels and founder office hours, there's real support built into the experience.
Add our long-standing graduate community—sharing jobs, ideas, equipment leads, and advice—and you're connected to something that extends well beyond graduation.
Our little black book is vast, varied, and international. And we want you to know how to make the most of it.
Learn how to ace an audition, present yourself professionally, and become the teacher studios want to hire.
Our Resources module includes video interviews with studio founders and managers from our Preferred Studio Network, sharing what they look for, how they hire, and what it takes to build a successful career or Pilates business.
Great teachers learn from great teachers. Ours bring experience, perspective, and a genuine investment in your growth.
Our educators don't simply demonstrate exercises. They help you develop your eye, refine your language, understand the why behind the work, and find your own voice as a teacher.
Expect thoughtful feedback, high standards, and people who care about how you teach.
