I am very interested in taking the Body Mind Fitness Certification, but will not be able to make the May weekend. Am I able to take that at another time?
Thanks
BodyMind Fitness Attendance Policy
If you are coming for the certification, ideally you do the four weekends in sequence. However if you miss one weekend, You can apply for independent study to make it up to stay in the same certification group. Otherwise you can take it in the next cycle and finish with the next group. Independent study will cost more. Please meet with Dr. Martha Eddy about this.
Any missed portion of a workshop for certification must be made up at your own expense.
I would love to take the Bodymind Fitness Certification. I live in Vancouver, Canada.
Are all the courses taught at Movement Afoot? Or are they also being taught at Moving On Center in California?
Thank you!
At present, we are only teaching this at Movements Afoot in NYC.
Like to talk to somebody about the program and the difference with the Pilate program….. also is the classes I have been taken part of the 40 hours?
Thanks Nana
Look forward to meeting you. You can call (212)904-1389 or email

BodyMind Fitness is a second level training for teachers. It is designed to take present teachers of different styles to a different level in their teaching with anatomy, embodied anatomy, teaching skills and better ways of assessment.
Balanced Body University’s Pilates program is a full certification program. You first start with the Mat courses and then the equipment courses. It is required to have experience of mat and equipment in your own personal practice to take these courses. Your understanding of the Pilates concepts in your body will make you a better teacher.
