Body Harmonics US Pilates & Movement Institute

I am so glad that I found the Body Harmonics program for Pilates teacher training. The Body Harmonics program provides a great framework for how to teach Pilates to the body in front of you, and educate people about movement so they can do safely and with longevity. On top of that, Holly Wallis is an extremely knowledgeable teacher who knows the program inside and out, and teaches with empathy. The program is dense with information about Pilates as a practice, and movement in general. And it truly feels like Holly is there with you every step of the way, supporting her students through their learning.

I’d searched all over the Bay Area looking for the right Pilates training for me. I found it with Holly Wallis and Body Harmonics. Holly is an extremely knowledgeable, patient and calm teacher. She understands Pilates and how your body benefits from the practice. She knows the Body Harmonics philosophy of Pilates training well and how to focus us on the most pertinent parts of the program. I’m looking forward to continuing my training with her!

I couldn’t recommend this certification process enough. Holly is an incredible teacher and has provided not only a comprehensive education of Pilates, but also a dynamic framework of how to be a great teacher, superseding the skills of an instructor. I have the skills and confidence to create and teach endless classes to a wide demographic of students that I know support their health, strength, and safety. As an alternative health care provider, working with people in safe boundaries is a must, encouraging progress but also respecting the process is integral for chronic pain management and recovery, and this program pays close attention to this ethos. I’ve learned so much about the kinesthetic body through this program that it has completely evolved my bodywork practice.

Holly is an exceptional instructor in Pilates and movement. It has been a rewarding opportunity to find her program & work towards getting a Pilates certification.

I'm so happy that I found the Body Harmonics program. These continuing education courses have been such a great addition to my initial training. They have equipped me with important information that has allowed me to help my clients in a more holistic way. What I've learned through Body Harmonics has made me feel like I am able to make a bigger difference in my client's movement and in turn, in their lives. Holly is a gifted teacher who makes the classes both approachable and incredibly interesting. I'm always excited to apply what I've learned after completing a Body Harmonics course, so it has really been a great way for me to stay inspired. I'm grateful to have found Holly and Body Harmonics as I feel like I'm making a great investment in my career.

I discovered Body Harmonics when researching Pilates Reformer exercises to learn for post joint replacement clients. As a Physical Therapist Assistant, I wanted to give my clients a well rounded rehabilitation experience after the clinic purchased a new Reformer. Holly at Body Harmonics US gave me the education to do just that. I couldn't get enough of the continuing education workshops so went on to get Comprehensively trained at Body Harmonics US. I cannot say enough about how much my knowledge of the body has deepened and how much the enhanced knowledge has benefited my clients, even the most challenging cases. I learned through Holly and the Body Harmonics method of Pilates, to truly see the body as a whole, assessing and observing in ways I had not known. The focused attention to biomechanics and unique sequencing of exercises has enhanced my work as a PTA 100%. I see the body and how it functions so much better. Thank you, Holly, for your patience, warmth and depth of knowledge you so willingly share. I have already recommended Body Harmonics US to many colleagues and am looking forward to more continuing education with you.

I started taking continuing education courses at Reactive Movement a couple years ago and I have loved every one of them. The information I get from each course is invaluable and immediately applicable to use with many of my clients. Reactive Movement helps me to be a better teacher and the courses are enjoyable. I'm so happy I found this studio and training program.
