Teacher Training

Pilates Certification

BodyWave Pilates Studio is a teacher training site for the respected Pilates Core Integration Certification Program.
​
The Pilates Core Integration Teacher Training Program, designed by Virginia Nicholas, teaches the traditional Pilates Method using the same approach taught by Eve Gentry and Michele Larsson.

 

For 10 years, Virginia worked closely with Michele Larsson of Core Dynamics Pilates as one of six hand-picked affiliate teacher training locations. Pilates Core Integration (PCI) is classical Pilates, infused with the rehabilitative genius of Eve Gentry and current knowledge about the body and mind.
 
Pilates Core Integration (PCI) will give students the knowledge and experience to teach Pilates for fitness and body-mind integration. The training program will include exercises on the mat and five main pieces of equipment. The exercises will range from the fundamental to the advanced level.
​

About The Program

​
  • Four 3-day weekend mat and equipment workshops
