500-Hour Comprehensive
Pilates Teacher Training
Authentic Core Pilates is proud to partner with Pilates Education Institute (PEI™) to offer a comprehensive 500-hour Pilates Teacher Training Program in Eau Claire, WI.
This program is approved by the National Pilates Certification Program (NPCP)—the only nationally accredited credential in the Pilates industry. Upon successful completion, graduates are eligible to sit for the National Pilates Certification Teacher Exam and earn full professional accreditation.
This 10-month comprehensive program begins in March 2026 and is delivered over seven weekends. It is thoughtfully designed to provide a high level of education in both the Classical Pilates repertoire and Contemporary Pilates, with a focus on training teachers to work with each client’s individual needs.
Students gain a strong foundation in anatomy, biomechanics, and principles of human movement. We go beyond teaching exercises—we teach the why behind each movement, including contraindications and appropriate modifications, ensuring safe, intelligent, and effective instruction for every client.
