"Tom is a wonderful teacher not only because he is an expert, but also because he embodies compassion and caring for every student. It is a privilege to study with him."
Center of Balance has been a premier Pilates teacher training center since 2001, with full mat and equipment courses directed by Tom McCook for Balanced Body (BB).
The Center of Balance & BB Program is designed to create thoughtful, creative and successful Pilates teachers. Our curriculum emphasizes the principles underlying each exercise. Courses are modular and progressive, allowing students to build on their education and training in the way that works best for them. These courses are also a great opportunity for certified instructors to learn new teaching tools and for renewed inspiration. All courses are taught by Tom McCook.
Due to the pandemic, our Mountain View studio is closed. While we currently offer virtual sessions on Zoom, we are assessing the most beneficial and safest way to offer Pilates Teacher Trainings. Please contact us to be notified when we announce our next course schedule!
