If you did not receive the enrolment confirmation and receipt, please contact our Education Team as soon as possible.
If you registered for a Pilates certification program or Continuing Education course that will be streamed live from Toronto, Canada, the Zoom link will be emailed to you closer to the start date. That email will include the Continuing Education course handout and slides (if applicable). The Pilates certification program materials will be shipped to each registrant via Canada Post.
If you registered for a Pilates certification program or Continuing Education course scheduled at one of our affiliated Education Centres, our Education Partner will provide you with the materials as well as the Zoom link for a virtual event or in-studio attendance protocols for an in-person event closer to the start date.
If your employer is paying for your registration and needs an invoice, please reach out to our Education Coordinator for arrangements.
We offer several preferential pricing arrangements, as outlined below.
Full-time students, who are currently enrolled in a college or university program, save 15% on total program or course cost (before tax). To claim the savings, candidates must send a copy of their student ID to our Education Coordinator.
Professional dancers who are currently in a career transition save 15% on total program or course cost (before tax). To claim the savings, candidates must send a copy of their membership with a professional dancer association (i.e. CDA, CADA) to our Education Coordinator.
Our Education alumni may repeat any Pilates certification program (minimum one full module) or Continuing Education course (full length) as many times as they want at the audit rate that equals 50% of the regular cost. Please contact our Education Coordinator for arrangements.
English is the language of instruction and examination at the Body Harmonics Education Centre in Toronto, Canada, as well as our affiliated Education Centres across Canada (except Quebec where curriculum is delivered in French), in the US, the UK and Bali. While we always welcome students from different countries of origin into our Pilates & Movement Education, advanced English language ability is key for success in our Pilates certification programs (Pilates Level 1: Mat, Level 2: Reformer, and Level 3: CCSB).
Body Harmonics English language requirements are based on the definition of “advanced language ability” as described in Canadian Language Benchmarks, English as a Second Language for Adults by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, October 2021 Edition:
“Advanced language ability encompasses abilities required to communicate effectively, appropriately, accurately and fluently about most topics in a wide range of contexts and situations, from predictable to unfamiliar, from general to professionally complex and from specific to nuanced, in communicatively demanding contexts. […] At this stage, communicating can involve using language within high-stakes or high-risk social, academic and work-related contexts, and in situations in which features of the communication (such as diplomacy, tact, precision) can have significant consequences.”
If you’re unsure whether your English language ability is sufficient to study and graduate successfully from our Pilates certification programs, please email us to book a phone call to discuss.

To fully benefit from any of our Pilates certification programs, it is best to commit to the entire time frame allotted. If you happen to miss an hour or more, our Coordinator can help you schedule a private tutorial to make up the missed time. This tutorial is an extra cost and should be completed before re-joining the program. Body Harmonics reserves the right to take appropriate action if conduct guidelines are contravened. The first step would be to meet and discuss the situation. In the absence of progress after discussion, Body Harmonics may consider more serious options, including suspension from the program without refund.
At Body Harmonics we are committed to ensuring that students with a grievance relating to their experience in any of our educational events are well taken care of. For more information about our Grievance Procedure, please contact our Education team.
At Body Harmonics, we are committed to protecting your privacy. Please read more about our Privacy Policy here.
If fewer than four people register for a course it may be cancelled, typically with one week notice, so you can plan accordingly. In some cases you may be able to complete the course privately or semi-privately. Our Education team will contact you for assistance.
Teacher trainers may be changed without notice.
