About BASI

Fernandez Sports and Physical Therapy is a Pilates teaching studio, hosting courses on mat and all major equipment from the renowned BASI Pilates® teaching academy.

The BASI  Comprehensive Teacher Training Course (CTTC) is a rigorous program for people who are serious about making a career in Pilates.

Students who complete the course receive one of the most respected diplomas in the industry and have the self-confidence that comes from knowing that they are comprehensively qualified to instruct in the method.

The course emphasizes the holistic nature of Pilates; it teaches the student to think and understand, rather than simply to perform exercises, and to work with a broad diversity of clients. The course covers major Pilates equipment, classical and contemporary repertoires, anatomy, the science of human movement and teaching methodologies.

The BASI CTTC includes:

• 12 modules of academic study, comprising lectures, discussions, exercise analysis and practice
• Practical studio work, both individual and group
• Up to 100 hours of teaching observation
• Up to 200 hours of apprentice teaching
• Intensive personal study between modules

The studio also hosts the BASI Mat Teacher Training Course for students wishing to obtain an interim credential before embarking on the comprehensive course.
