The Pilates Center

The Pilates Center The Pilates Center is an internationally renowned studio providing the best in classical Pilates! We offer private lessons and group classes.

Two sisters, Amy Taylor Alpers and Rachel Taylor Segel, trained under Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates' protege and inheritor of his studio in NYC. In 1990 the sisters founded their studio, The Pilates Center in Boulder and created their Teacher Training Program with Romana in 1991. They have strived to foster the legacy and tradition of the original, classical method of Pilates and continue to develop the highest caliber of teachers, with the most comprehensive and in-depth classical teacher program available. Our goal at TPC is not just to teach you how to do Pilates but how to heal people with Pilates. Our commitment is to health. It’s our mission to heal the world by helping people heal themselves with Pilates - that was Joseph Pilates’ ultimate desire. Almost anyone who wants to can learn how to be a Pilates Instructor. You can get a certification over a weekend! We believe this is merely the starting point and does little to truly allow the instructor to assess each client’s unique needs and provide them with the life changing possibilities Pilates so powerfully offers – the potential to truly heal and, thereby, “return to life.”

True teaching requires a profound level of both deeper knowledge of the subject matter and a calling to truly care for the unique nature of each client’s personal journey back to full mind-body-spirit health. And that is the approach we embrace when teaching our clients and training our future teachers through our various Teacher Training Programs.

It is nearly impossible to describe the difference between styles of Pilates in today’s world.

As Amy says in this clip, most people cannot know what they do not know. Many walk into a room with rows of reformers, loud music, bright lights, and a fixed idea of what Pilates is supposed to be.

None of that is wrong. It is just different.

Classical Pilates asks for something else. It asks for time, curiosity, patience, and a willingness to work. It is not a weekend course or a list of exercises.

It is a lifetime of learning in your own body and in your teaching. The system is complete. The depth comes from how you study it and how you understand it.

If you are ready to go deep and study Classical Pilates in a way that teaches you how to teach, not just how to perform the work, our Teacher Training Program is here for you.

The Pilates Center’s program offers:
• Comprehensive intermediate to advanced level training
• A focus on developing your teacher voice
• Mentorship with experienced Host Advisors and faculty
• In person and Zoom options
• A curriculum that helps you understand the full system, transitions, and philosophy
• Support from a worldwide community of graduates

If you are ready to commit, learn, and grow in a way that strengthens both your body and your teaching, we welcome you to begin your training with us.

At The Pilates Center, we teach movement as a practice of awareness and discovery. Every class helps you connect more deeply with how your body moves and how it feels to move well.

Here, Pilates is personal. Our Boulder community continues to grow because people feel seen, supported, and inspired to keep learning.
