Flagship courses
The Flagship course is where we go in depth onto Anatomy and post-rehab.
Because we want to make this course accessible to as many people as we can we have three ways you can interact with the material
The VIP option:
*Registration for the 2024 cohort has ended. But, good news, our DIY and FOUNDATIONS courses can be purchased year round! If you'd like to be the first to know about enrollment dates for the 2025 cohort be sure to get on the mailing list below
AOP’s signature course is designed to give Pilates instructors comprehensive full body anatomy and post-rehab education delivered in four 6-week modules over the course of 1 full calendar year. Not only do you get a fresh look at anatomy with 3-D models in each lecture you get immediately applicable Pilates specific movement labs where we take what we learned in lecture and apply it to real world studio scenarios.
What you'll get in each module:
- One pre recorded lecture a week covering anatomy, specific pathologies, or general exercise science concepts
- One live movement lab where we apply what we learned in lecture to the studio and get to workshop ideas in real time
- One office hour each week where you can ask me anything related to the content in the course
- Guest lectures
- Two organized study groups per module
- Dedicated private slack channel with your cohort and previous cohorts who’ve taken the course
- A super cool welcome gift!
- 16 (2 year’s worth and enough to renew your NPCP certification) of NPCP CECs!!!
- AOP Certificate of completion
The DIY Option:
At AOP we think that everyone should have access to anatomy and post-rehab education. That’s why we decided to make a fully DIY option available. While this option is much more bare bones it might be exactly what you need to help you feel more confident.
What do you get with the DIY option?
- 31+Pre recorded lectures and pre-recorded movement application videos
- Discounts on 1:1 coaching sessions for one year after purchase
- Access to the Alumni membership
The FOUNDATIONS option:
We totally get it, time is our biggest resource as busy instructors. We created the foundations course to get you the base knowledge to join the Alumni Membership without needing to attend the longer Flagship course.
What do you get with the FOUNDATIONS option?
- 6 full lectures plus 1 mini lecture
- discounts on 1:1 coaching sessions
- Access to the Alumni Membership
Flagship course FAQs
How is the VIP course structured?
Modules are broken up into 4 six-week blocks. Each 6-week module will be focused on one region of the body. There will be a two week break between module 1 and 2 and between module 3 and 4 where you'll be able to catch up on any module content before the next module starts. Between module 2 and 3 we'll break for summer. During this time you can join the alumni membership for FREE to stay in the loop! For more info on the membership click here
Is the VIP course fully asynchronous?
Everything can be done on your own time except the movement lab. Once everyone is registered we vote on the best day and time for that specific group. If needed we can make two times for our global community to ensure everyone can come to one movement lab.

What if I already took anatomy. How is the Flagship course different?
At AOP we focus more on how anatomy can help us better understand movement. So, rather than memorizing origins, insertions, and actions we talk about how muscles move at different joint angles, how two joint muscles work differently than single joint muscles, how we get stronger, etc. We combine this with a basic understanding of exercise science principles and common pathologies seen in Pilates in 31 lectures and supplemental movement labs to give learners a relevant understanding of how anatomy is useful. We go beyond the textbook and make anatomy a living thing.
