Employers and clients alike want to know that the teachers and instructors they employ are highly competent professionals. Having the Body Harmonics name behind you demonstrates to your clients, colleagues and employer that you’re a knowledgeable, skilled and creative teacher. Plus, you get a listing on our Teacher Finder and many other benefits.
In 2016 we were selected as a Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) registered school. To align with their respected third-party certification accreditation requirements, we started issuing diplomas to graduates of our Pilates Comprehensive Track programs instead of certifications as we had previously. There are no changes to the benefits you receive as one of our graduates and CEC requirements to maintain your diploma (previously certification) remain the same. Our Pilates Comprehensive Track (Levels 1-3) is designed to prepare you to sit the exam required to become a Pilates Method Alliance® Certified Pilates Teacher (PMA®-CPT).
When you successfully complete each Level of our Pilates Comprehensive Track you’re entitled and encouraged to promote yourself as a Body Harmonics® Pilates teacher as long as you maintain your status by completing 15 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) every two years. When you stay current you also get to be listed on our online Teacher Finder for free and can take advantage of many other Teacher Benefits. Body Harmonics designations must be used as follows on business cards and in other marketing:
| Diploma | Designation |
| Pilates Level 1: Mat | Body Harmonics® Pilates Mat Teacher |
| Pilates Level 2: Reformer | Body Harmonics® Pilates Mat & Reformer Teacher |
| Pilates Level 3: Cadillac Chair Springboard & Barrels (CCSB) | Body Harmonics® Pilates Comprehensive Teacher |
Once you complete one of our three Specialist programs, you receive a diploma and are entitled and encouraged to promote your credentials as follows:
| Diploma | Designation |
| Functional Anatomy & Biomechanics | Body Harmonics® Functional Anatomy & Biomechanics Specialist |
| Post-Rehab | Body Harmonics® Post-rehab Specialist |
| Diverse Populations | Body Harmonics® Diverse Populations Specialist |
Body Harmonics Pilates certification is a highly respected and sought-after accreditation. For those interested in seeking additional accreditation, such as the US-based, third-party National Pilates Certification Program (NPCP), formerly known as the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) Pilates Certification Program, please note that the Body Harmonics Pilates Comprehensive Track curriculum meets and exceeds the eligibility requirements for the NPCP exam. At Body Harmonics, we neither encourage nor dissuade our graduates from sitting the NPCP exam.
