Professional Bridging Course (ProBridge)

New from BASI! Making it possible for qualified Pilates professionals to benefit from the advantages of studying the BASI Pilates system.

It may not always be possible for the working professional to devote the time and funds necessary to undertake another full-length teacher training course. Therefore, BASI is proud to announce a program designed specifically for you!

BASI's ProBridge program is a specialized bridging course for the qualified Pilates professional interested in experiencing the depth, intensity, and precision that only BASI provides. ProBridge is the perfect opportunity to acquire a BASI education and ultimately join the BASI professional network. Our program credits the experience of the qualifying professional for previous Pilates education, study and work. Focus is placed on the principles and methodologies that represent the key differentiators between BASI and other teaching methods.

The initial ProBridge course is now underway. Dates for the next course will be announced shortly. You can fill out an early application here.

In addition to those individuals who have completed a different training program, we also encourage and welcome those students who have previously completed the BASI Comprehensive Teacher Training Course to join and share an intense review of the work they did previously. Clarification and nuances of movement allow the BASI graduate to revisit the original material by honing their existing skills with Rael himself.

The ProBridge program is not only for students of other disciplines but also a bridge between the BASI CTTC and the Mentor Program.

BASI Pilates has long been regarded as the pinnacle of education in the method by Pilates professionals worldwide. While many programs have fashioned their education after the BASI model, none have met or surpassed the standard set by BASI’s founder and CEO, Rael Isacowitz.

Rael's passion for excellence and love of Pilates has shaped the past, present and now the future of the method. ProBridge bridges the gap between where you are today and where you could be in the future!

"I was first attracted to the program after I realized that all my favorite Pilates classes were taught by BASI-qualified Pilates instructors. I have multiple certifications and BASI has given me by far the most value." Kaita Lepore, Santa Barbara Athletic Club
