Internationally recognized:

• Balanced Body® Education is offered in over 60 countries worldwide, supported by a strong global education network. Founded by Nora St. John and taught since 2006, the Balanced Body® certification is internationally recognised—allowing graduates to work in studios around the world.

Flexible Education Framework: 

• A modular, self-paced education pathway designed to adapt to your learning needs.
• Begin your training in one country and complete your certification in another.
• With respect for prior learning, students trained elsewhere may bridge into our programme without having to repeat the full course—unlike what is required by many schools.

Built on a strong foundation of:

• Traditional Pilates exercises – preserving the core principles and techniques of classical Pilates.

• Movement Science – incorporating the latest research to enhance understanding of how the body moves.

• Movement Principles – providing a framework to assess, guide, and adapt movement safely for all bodies.

Our programme blends these elements, bringing together the best of both worlds while staying true to Pilates fundamentals.

Key areas of study:

• Exercises, class design, and client-specific applications
• Designing classes to meet diverse client goals and needs
• Most importantly, adapting movement for a wide range of bodies

Learning Materials (Manuals and Video library): 

• Comprehensive manuals featuring step-by-step exercise imagery, complemented by a video library and dedicated sections on pre- and post-Pilates applications.
