Celebrating 20 years of training Pilates teachers · 50+ centers, 5 continents · Explore Our Programs →

The Chair is one of the most underused (and polarizing!) pieces in the Pilates studio — but one of the most powerful. PAI teaches you the leverage logic and body mechanics that turn the Chair from an afterthought into an indispensable tool for clients of every demographic and fitness level.

Once you’ve completed your All Populations I Chair coursework, APCh II opens the door to the final two tiers of the Chair repertoire — the Advanced Intermediate and Advanced work designed for clients who have grown past Intermediate and the instructors ready to take them there.

All Populations II courses are required to achieve Comprehensive Certification, to sit for the NPCP exams (Mat, Reformer, or Comprehensive), and are a mandatory prerequisite for PAI Master Trainer pathway consideration.
