Joining BBU Faculty
Balanced Body University (BBU) is always looking for talented, experienced, dynamic and motivated Pilates educators to join our team in the US and abroad.
We are seeking teachers who love to travel and teach at studios and health clubs, as well as studio owners and club managers who want to offer trainings in their facilities.
If you are passionate about teaching and want to pass on your knowledge and expertise to the next generation of Pilates instructors, please consider joining Balanced Body University as a faculty member.
BBU faculty members must meet or exceed our requirements and teach in a location that does not currently have coverage through existing BBU faculty or in some cases a Balanced Body Educacation Partner. Please contact BBU to determine if your teaching location is viable as a BBU Host Site.
Teaching Philosophy
Balanced Body has represented diversity, quality and innovation within the Pilates community for 30 years.
Balanced Body University continues this tradition by offering instructor-training programs to fit a variety of needs from group mat and Reformer courses for health clubs and fitness facilities, to comprehensive studio trainings and continuing education.
As a faculty member your particular skills and abilities are respected and developed in order to make you the best possible instructor.
