Welcome to Body IQ Pilates Teacher Training!

Body IQ Pilates Teacher Training is an immersive program that includes a unique blend of Classical Pilates and traditional exercise principles infused with Body IQ Kinesthetic Awareness Training which emphasizes the importance of sensory motor learning - or learning by doing - mindfully. This training will provide teachers and trainees with a well-rounded approach to teaching exercise for a variety of populations with knowledge, confidence, and clarity - safely; while cultivating a new generation of skilled, intuitive, and compassionate movement teachers.

Whether you are new to teaching, or a certified teacher exploring to expand your skill set, this self-paced, modular program will support your journey at every step of the way.

Suggested Program Structure: 8 Body IQ Pilates Learning Modules

Each module includes:

112 hours of immersive, in-person trainings over 8 weekend intensives
Practice teaching labs and sensory-motor drills
Printed materials that include a syllabus and the latest industry guidelines, and equipment safety standards
Hands on learning through apprenticeship and student teaching
Ongoing mentorship, feedback and community connection

Each module will be constructed to create a basic understanding of the principles necessary to build safe and effective exercise programs; provide participants with experiential anatomy and physiology; teach principles necessary for building continued progression; provide the structure needed to help learn the art and science of creating exercise sequences for a variety of populations; as well as a basic understanding of the neuroscience of movement and how and why we learn.

Beth Seitz

Feeling good in your body shouldn't be a luxury. Pilates isn't extra, it's essential.

Owner of Sculpt Pilates + Barre, Beth brings a warm, encouraging teaching style that blends anatomical knowledge with coaching and fosters a studio environment where community and growth thrive.

Beth believes deeply in the Body IQ Pilates teacher training because it bridges the gap between knowing the work and embodying it. With its hands-on approach, intelligent structure, and focus on true movement comprehension, this training doesn't just create instructors - it creates confident, capable teachers who can read bodies, teach with purpose, and elevate the industry. To her, this is how all Pilates education should be - rooted in integrity, experience, and results. She will be assisting Janine in the teacher training.
