360° Pilates is an e-learning platform for Pilates people. We offer memberships with access to the largest video catalog of the original Pilates method available today, online coursework and a social network dedicated to our members’ shared passion and collective knowledge.
360° Pilates was designed with the needs of serious and passionate Pilates practitioners in mind—from students and teachers-in-training to professionals and educators.
Are you…
… a fully qualified teacher, working day and night?
Our online platform was designed to introduce a new way of thinking through the Pilates system, help you keep track of the entire method, and offer ongoing inspiration in your everyday work.
… a teacher in training, figuring it all out?
The sooner you understand how the method fits together as a cohesive whole, the quicker you will find ownership within what may now seem like a ton of orders, exercises, and protocols. With 360° Pilates, you can literally click your way through the Pilates method and draw lots of meaningful connections between the exercises. By the way, we integrate our platform with select Teacher Training Programs—if yours doesn’t participate in the Trainee Access Program yet, tell them about us!
… an enthusiast student of the Pilates method?
If observing and practicing Pilates is your thing, you’re in the right place. Take your enthusiasm to the next level by perusing our resources.
… looking for a good online workout?
We are offering a unique way to help you practice with our ‘practice playlists’. Our playlists string exercise footage together with a minimum of verbal instruction but lots of visual impact, and they tie in with our digital learning materials. If you are looking for full guided workouts, we may not be the right platform for you!
Nope. We’re not a teacher training nor a bridge program.
We believe that true apprenticeship, mentorship, and continuing education are real-world experiences that can’t be replicated online.
BUT: we know great teachers and schools who offer all of the above, and we integrate with select Teacher Training Programs!
Teacher Training Programs, right this way! One of the many goals of the 360° Pilates platform is to make the original work accessible and future-proof for future generations of professionals and enthusiasts. Our Trainee Access Program integrates with your Teacher Training program to help you thrive in the digital age. Contact us to schedule a demo!
Joseph Pilates was quite prolific in trying to document his work in film, photography, and writing. In fact, a video catalog of the work is not far from what he intended to accomplish himself. In 1957, he wrote:
“Like any pianist’s art, Contrology cannot be preserved—or even more than vaguely limned—on the printed page. It must also be both seen and heard: there is no other way.”
He referred to the creation of a video catalog documenting his work, a project he dedicated a lot of time to but never reached completion.
The original work contains countless variations and escalations of exercises across different pieces of apparatus. With well over 400 videos, we have captured the vast majority of exercises that were demonstrably formulated and perpetuated by Joseph Pilates and his students. This includes repertoire and apparatus often left out by training programs, such as the Neck Stretcher and Arm Chair repertoire.
That said, we will continue to add variations and archival exercises over time!
While we break each exercise down and provide descriptions and helpful information to string the Pilates system together, we decided to let the work speak for itself: our exercise videos are silent.
We believe that there are no perfect words to cue an exercise, so we decided not to imply otherwise. We are confident that you will find all the details and language you need as you study the information we provide with each exercise!
We proudly work with apparatus made to specifications that are closest to the original apparatus. The apparatus you see throughout the catalog is made by the following manufacturers, in no particular order:
• Gratz Industries
• Pilates Designs
• Pilates Lineage
• Pilates Scandinavia
If you work with apparatus of a different make, the exercises may feel quite different. We provide information on how to successfully work with non-traditional apparatus and welcome your questions if you get stuck!
The 360° Pilates membership is our core offering. Members have access to our comprehensive exercise video catalog and all associated learning materials, community features, and coursework that dives into the inner workings of the Pilates method.
