BASI Pilates

BASI stands for Body Arts Science International

Basi Pilates preserves the classical repertoire and the essence of Joseph Pilates’ philosophy while supplementing the method’s evolution with scientific knowledge and developments.

Since its inception, BASI has been at the forefront of the industry with trailblazing approaches to the Pilates method and equipment. BASI’s founder, Rael Isacowitz, devised the game-changing BASI Block System, a systematic approach to organizing the Pilates repertoire. He also expanded on Joseph Pilates’s apparatus designs to create the unique F2 System.

BASI stays on the cutting edge of Pilates education, equipment, and innovation by constantly reviewing current practices.

BASI Pilates has been a global leader in Pilates education for over 30 years, offering comprehensive programs that deepen the knowledge and skills of both enthusiasts and professionals. Basi is currently one of the best Pilates schools in the world. 

Rael Isacowitz is one of the most prominent names in the Pilates world. A Pilates teacher for over 4 decades, Rael is renowned for his emphasis on the holistic nature of the method. His focus is on teaching people to think, rather than simply to perform exercises, and on providing a Pilates education of the very highest possible standard.
