Continuing Education for The Method Pilates®

PhysicalMind requires Certified Instructors to renew every two years. All materials and tests are now available online for digital download, we do not accept any outside courses or workshops for CECs. Any renewal needs to include 80Bites, either from Group A or Group B. (Certified instructors will want to be aware of the impact of hormones on the body, which is at the foundation of 80Bites.)

Tye4® Certification Program (Coming Soon)

Tye4® Certification Program is for instructors to become proficient in the use of this creative prop for matwork and standing exercises for individuals and group training. The program requires one month minimum of home study using the product with PMI digital programs and working out with Ashley Benson on her online platform. During the Workshop, the student will review all the “wraps” and typical exercises and then do a full Fusion class which the student will teach.

The Fees are:

$100 One Time Registration Fee
$150 Tye4® and Tye4X™ (to be provided after launch)
$100 Matwork class or $125 Fusion Pilates workshop
$24.99 Online Tye4 Studio—(one month subscription)
