Whitney Johnson Pilates offers a comprehensive Classical Pilates teacher training program in Ann Arbor, Michigan, dedicated to preserving the integrity of the method as originally developed by Joseph Pilates. This program is designed for those who wish to study and teach Classical Pilates with depth, accuracy, and respect for its original structure, sequencing, and intention.

Because the Classical Pilates method is a complete and systematic body of work, all prospective trainees begin with private sessions. This foundational step ensures that each student develops a clear understanding of the method in their own body before learning to teach it, while also allowing both student and teacher to determine whether the program is the right fit. Given the highly individualized, one-on-one nature of the training, establishing alignment, commitment, and shared expectations from the outset is essential.

Training is taught in a personalized, one-on-one format that emphasizes close mentorship, thoughtful progression, and lineage-based education. Enrollment is offered on a rolling basis and guided by readiness, dedication, and a genuine interest in maintaining the integrity of the Classical Pilates method.
