12-Day Intensive

The 12-Day Intensive is ideal for Pilates Instructors and Pilates students who have a strong classical Pilates background and are at an Intermediate/Advanced level. You must be familiar with the apparatus (Reformer, Chairs, Cadillac and Barrels) as well as the sequence of the exercises. This program includes the same manual and lectures from the Comprehensive program, but is taught in a 12-day format. Apprentice hours begin after the 12-Day intensive has been completed. Once you pass and complete all aspects of the program, you will receive your Power Pilates Instructor Certification.

Continuing Education Credits

In order to maintain your Power Pilates Instructor Certification, you must complete 15 Power Pilates Continuing Education Credits every two years. It is necessary to complete these CECs for your highest level certification only (i.e. credits going towards Comprehensive certification will also cover Beginner and/or Intermediate Mat certification). If you do not complete these required credits, your certification will not be renewed. If you are using another organization's Continuing Education Credits as fulfillment, you must receive prior approval from Power Pilates. Please see our website or call 212.627.5852 for our current Continuing Education Calendar.
Note: 1 hour of Power Pilates Continuing Education = 1 Power Pilates CEC
