Full Comprehensive Training Program

Our Legacy Training

At Pi Pilates Academy, we offer more than just a teacher training program—we provide you with a gateway into the rich legacy of Classical Pilates. Rooted in the authentic teachings of Joseph Pilates and his protégé, Romana Kryzanowska, our program is led by exceptional second- and third-generation instructors, including Holly Murray, who trained directly with Romana in 2002. This connection to the source ensures you receive the highest caliber of instruction, preserving the integrity of The Method.

Our Program is based around you. At the core of the comprehensive program sit four immersive, in-person modules, followed by a 450-hour apprenticeship. and with our pathway format you are able to pick the pathway that best suits you based on your time, your goals and outcomes. You are free to master Pilates on your terms while embracing a time-honored tradition.

Each module is designed to equip you with the skills to safely and effectively guide clients at every level, while mastering the use of all classical Pilates apparatus, including the Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Barrels, Pedi-Pole, and Magic Circle.

At Pi, Pilates is more than just a workout—it’s a holistic, 360-degree approach to movement that brings strength, beauty, and precision to life.

When you train with us, you’re not just learning Pilates—you’re becoming part of its living legacy.

You can know all the exercises in The Method and still not know how to teach The Method, its an integrated system, know the system, know the concepts, now you understand The Method
