Hi, my name is Jo-Ann Giles                                      

Thank you for visiting my website and welcome to the Pilates Institute of Maryland.

The primary goal of the Pilates Institute of Maryland is to present quality education of the Pilates exercise method.

The goal is accomplished with the Pilates Instructor Certification, the Pilates Joseph, H. Workshop and Individual Pilates Training.

The Pilates Instructor Certification is a 2-day technical review of Joseph H. Pilates' exercise method also known as Contrology.  This course will train and certify individuals to teach in a group setting 46 Pilates Matwork movements with proper technique and mind/body connection.  Participants' knowledge will be measured by a practical demonstration and a 100 question written exam with a passing grade of 85%.

The Pilates, Joseph, H. Workshop is a 3 hour exploration into Joseph Pilates' writings, "Return to Life Through Contrology" and "Your Health".  Pilates' philosophies and principles will be examined and 34 of his original exercises will be performed.

Individual Pilates Training (IPT) is one on one Pilates Matwork Training for all individuals who want to learn Pilates but not in a group setting.  IPT will give special attention to participants in body alignment, proper technique and mind/body connection.
