01 About the program
300-hour comprehensive Mat + Reformer certification.
The classical Pilates method is the foundation. Understanding it deeply is what makes you a great instructor. We teach you both — the technical knowledge that earns you credibility in any studio, and the teaching skills to make every class feel like you.
02 Why OCPA?
Most programs teach you what to do. We teach you how to teach.
The difference
Learn to actually instruct
Design a flow, observe a room, correct mid-class, hold a space — not just demonstrate exercises.
Grounding
Foundation first, always
We root everything in the classical Pilates method so you graduate with the grounding every studio expects.
Practice
Real teaching practice
Peer teaching rounds and live instructor feedback every weekend. You are not watching. You are doing.
Built by
Creative practicing instructors
Our program is built on current, real-world studio knowledge — not theory from years ago.

06 Meet your instructors
Charley & Cory.
Charley Carroll and Cory Rojo are active OCP instructors with over 20 years of combined Reformer experience and thousands of students between them. They built OCPA because they saw a gap between what certification programs were producing and what studios actually needed. Every piece of this program is built from real studio knowledge — and every session is small enough that you will actually know them by name.
