Our Bridge program is for trained Pilates instructors looking to transfer their credentials and become certified with Body Harmonics. It is also for those looking to continue their Pilates training with Body Harmonics Education without restarting the entire process.
Assessment Overview
The first step is an assessment to gauge your knowledge base, skills and experience. You apply through our website (see the form below).
While each case is unique, a simple process for success with each applicant is the following. Instructors who teach both group classes and one-on-one sessions will submit two videos as outlined below. For those who only teach classes or one-on-one, the request should be for only one video of the primary type of teaching the instructor does.
What Applicants Submit
- A video teaching a Pilates mat-based class. The class level should be strong intermediate (as you interpret that level). The duration is 30-35 minutes. Teach to the camera and fully demonstrate all exercises (think of teaching an online class). Ensure you are clearly visible and audible in the frame, in all positions at all times.
- A video of you teaching a Pilates one-on-one session to a demo client. The client should be a healthy individual with minor physical limitations if any. The duration is 40-45 minutes. The session should be at an intermediate level (as you interpret that level). The session should feature a few exercises on each of the Pilates equipment pieces you are trained on. Ensure you and your client are clearly visible and audible in the frame, in all positions, at all times.
Submission Process
Once your videos are ready for submission, we will send you an upload link. At that point, the bridge assessment fee of $210+HST will be due. We will connect with you by phone to collect your payment information.
Evaluation and Next Steps
Once we review your video(s), we will send you a proposal for a customized Bridge program to help you meet our Pilates Comprehensive certification requirements.
