Mighty Pilates Diversity Scholarship is sponsored by Mighty Pilates (in collaboration with Balanced Body's Diversity in Pilates initiatives). This opportunity supports mission-aligned projects and measurable outcomes.

Diversity Scholarship | Mighty Pilates Mighty Pilates Diversity Scholarship Mighty Pilates created a Diversity Scholarship to promote opportunities for the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color [BIPOC] Community to practice & teach Pilates.

We believe that Pilates is for everyone and aim to increase access to training, diversify the community of trainers, and decrease financial barriers in the Pilates community by providing full scholarships to students from BIPOC Communities. What is the Certification Program?

Our Pilates Instructor Certification takes places both in our Los Angeles region studios (Santa Monica, Westwood, and Ocean Park) and our Bay Area studios (Marin, Lafayette, & Berkeley). These 8 weekends are split amongst the studios. This is a comprehensive program where you will become fully certified in Mat, Reformer, Cadillac/Tower work, Chair, learn Functional Anatomy and how to incorporate props into your repertoire.

We have created custom workbooks with Classical Pilates moves and tips for Mighty style. The program is designed around participants’ personal / work schedules and to maximize studio time with Trainers. The program is over 8 full weekends.

We know you are busy, so elements like anatomy, and some observation or lectures can be done online, at your own pace. What does the recipient of the scholarship receive? Mighty will cover all of the costs of the Certification training and books, approximately $3,795.

Recipient will receive free 40 pack of machine classes. The only fee with chosen scholars will pay is the online Anatomy Pilates Course to an outside company of $297 and if any makeup sessions ($100/hour.) What is the timeline and process to apply?
