BASI, which stands for Body Art and Science International®, was founded in 1989 by Rael Isacowitz.

BASI Pilates is headquartered in Newport Beach, California (international website: www.basipilates.com).

Today BASI Pilates is present in more than 40 countries, with over 200 Host Studios and more than 40,000 certified teachers.
It provides internationally recognised training, also acknowledged by the Pilates Method Alliance. BASI Pilates is a teacher training academy whose mission is to support and perpetuate the work of Joseph and Clara Pilates by educating teachers of the highest level.

BASI training is grounded in anatomy, physiology and scientific principles, while also placing emphasis on the aesthetic quality of every movement. BASI Pilates preserves the classical repertoire and the essence of Joseph Pilates’ philosophy, complementing it with contemporary experience and scientific knowledge.
