The BASI Pilates Teacher Training Program is truly exceptional, an unparalleled fusion of science, precision, artistry, and soul. From the very first module, I was deeply impressed by the integrity of the curriculum and the passion of the educators. BASI’s methodology is both rigorous and intuitive, beautifully bridging classical foundations with contemporary understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and movement intelligence.
The instructors are world-class, compassionate, knowledgeable, and deeply devoted to your success. Every session left me inspired, stronger, and more connected to the profound philosophy that illuminates the essence of the Pilates method. The environment fosters not only technical mastery, but also personal growth, discipline, and a deeper embodiment of wellness.
Whether you are a seasoned movement professional or beginning your Pilates journey, BASI is the gold standard. It has elevated not only my teaching but my entire approach to health, longevity, and mindful living. I am deeply grateful to Rael and his amazing team for this transformative experience and highly recommend it to anyone ready to step into excellence.

As a BASI student and pilates enthusiast, I have the best classes, feel the most out of my workouts, and learn the most when I go to BASI headquarters for classes. I highly recommend for anyone looking to deepen their practice. The focus on precision and proper movement is unlike any other pilates training. I also appreciate the emphasis on continuous learning. My instructor had her own private session with Stella that I was able to observe and it made the corrections I experienced in her class all the more important seeing her be corrected and improve her own practice. I completely get it and welcome corrections and feedback even more now.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful review!
We are truly grateful that you chose BASI Pilates Headquarters as your home for deepening your practice. It means the world to hear that our focus on precision, proper movement, and continuous learning resonates with you.
Your reflection about observing your instructor’s session is especially powerful—it captures exactly what BASI is about: growth at every level, from teacher to student, with an openness to feedback and correction. We love that you welcome this process and feel the benefits in your own practice.
We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing this journey of learning and movement with you!

I took a 1 hour private session with Ena Kirima and she was a pleasure to work with. She helped me with alignment, court engagement, adjustment/customizing of apparatus, and flow to help me prepare for my test out. I highly recommend her.

The Open Studio on July 12th was a great experience. The space was welcoming and well organized. I used the mat, reformer, and briefly the F2 chair. Stella, Jackie, Jodi, and Karina were all supportive, even while teaching their own classes. I left feeling really motivated. I just wish there were more Open Studio days available.

A complete body workout and first-time friendly. The studio is beautiful, spacious and welcoming. I have never done reformer Pilates. The trainer was very encouraging. Highly recommend if you're looking for a Pilates studio in O.C.

Can't say enough good stuff about this place! I kept hearing about the benefits of Pilates, specifically on the reformer so I had to check it out from where everyone said was the best... Basi Pilates. I'm so glad I made the drive out to the OC and equally glad that I did a private with Stella. The entire team was supportive and excited to see me trying it for the first time. I will definitely be back!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience at BASI Pilates.

Today was my first Mat Pilates Class . . . and it was awesome, challenging, yet totally ‘doable’!!! It was a very welcoming environment - Stella, the Instructor taking time to chat with me prior to class when I first came into the building. I was a little early for my Mat Class, so got to observe instructors working with individuals on pieces of equipment.
Stella and Jody, my new friend who invited me - who happens to train Basi Instructors gave me modifications that made it possible to keep up, yet be safe as a newbie. I felt competent and had fun. I left with an experiential understanding of how important alignment and gentle movements with full breathing is quite-the-workout, as well as good for overall well-being and flexibility. Each woman who’d been taking the class for some period of time had shapely muscles and remarkable strength. There was laughter intertwined with a seriously great workout!!! The first lesson is Complimentary ~ FREE ~ No Charge!! Try It!!! You’ve got nothing to lose and a great program to gain! SOOOoooo glad I attended!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience during your first Mat Pilates class. It's great to know that you found the class both challenging and achievable, and that you felt welcomed and supported by Stella and Jody. We're proud of our instructors and their dedication to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone, especially newcomers.
We're delighted that you experienced the benefits of alignment, gentle movements, and full breathing firsthand. It's fantastic to hear that you felt competent, had fun, and noticed the remarkable strength and shapely muscles of your fellow classmates. The laughter and camaraderie truly make the workout even more enjoyable!
Thank you for highlighting our complimentary first lesson. We're so glad you attended and hope to see you again soon. Welcome to our Pilates community!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have visited BASI, the global headquarters for Pilates. I randomly booked a session with one of their instructors through their website, and to my surprise, I found their teaching skills to be consistently professional and outstanding. Among the various styles I've tried, BASI has become my favorite system!
The atmosphere at this school is exceptional. Even with the founder still actively teaching and providing guidance to on-site instructors, the sense of community and support is truly heartwarming. Mr. Real and Stella are exceptionally welcoming, and my instructor, Tram, embodies patience, professionalism, and love in her teaching approach. We adore her, and I wholeheartedly recommend BASI to everyone I know!
