Dr Abhishek Agrawal's
Pilates Instructor Course
Most Pilates courses teach you exercises. This one teaches you to read a body, fix what's wrong, and prove you can teach all within 100 hours. Level 1 gives you the full exercise toolkit and trains you to assess posture and movement. Level 2 applies that knowledge to clinical rehabilitation. The levels are stages of professional capability, not exercise difficulty.
Accredited by the American Accreditation Association (AAA), USA
Why Clinical Pilates?
First, we use targeted Pilates-based exercises to correct posture imbalances, joint misalignments, and build true core strength. Next, we address faulty movement patterns to reduce pain and restore efficient, natural motion.
Over the years, we’ve learned that this work is far more meaningful than teaching generic exercise. While many teach Pilates, few are equipped to support people through posture failure, injury, pregnancy, ageing, chronic pain, and life-changing recovery.
This course is designed only for those who are truly committed — to their own growth and to helping others at a deeper level. It is not an easy path. But with the right guidance, structure, and support, you can gradually and steadily develop into a highly respected movement professional with the ability to change lives in a meaningful way.
Here is how the course works: First, you collect the tools — learning the full Pilates exercise library. Then you learn to read the body — understanding posture, alignment, and movement dysfunction by segment. Finally, you apply everything — including 10 hours of observed teaching with live feedback built into your 100 hours — so you graduate having already proven you can teach.
