We’re thrilled to share some exciting news. Pure Movement will now be hosting Balanced Body Instructor Trainings right here in Fort Wayne! This is a huge step not only for our studio, but also for the entire movement community in our area.
Why Balanced Body?
Balanced Body is one of the most respected and trusted schools in the Pilates world. Known for its innovative approach, educational depth, and high standards, Balanced Body has trained thousands of instructors worldwide. Their programs blend classical Pilates principles with modern movement science. This ensures future teachers have both the tradition and the tools needed to guide clients safely and effectively.
Balanced Body is recognized as a global leader in Pilates education. Their approach uniquely blends:
- Movement Principles that ground you in modern biomechanics, movement science, and anatomy.
