ABOUT MPI The Midwest Pilates Institute offers the most comprehensive Pilates teacher training in the Midwest. Our “hands-on” approach to teaching the Pilates Method allows the student to develop and grow at their own pace while offering on-going support and feedback. Students will work side by side Marissa Lins and other Midwest Pilates Institute teacher trainers (MPI-TT) to ensure an educationally rich and safe environment to learn, workout, and study. We accept only ten apprentices each year to maintain our high standards of teaching in addition to providing each apprentice generous amounts of personal attention. Program Director Marissa Lins is the founder of Midwest Pilates Institute and owner of Madison Pilates, LLC in Madison, WI. She is certified in Pilates by the Pilates Method Alliance and by Core Dynamics. She brings to the MPI program over 24 years of movement training including classical and contemporary dance, Pilates, yoga, Gentry Technique, Alexander Technique, and Feldenkries. Marissa trained in Pilates for two years under the tutelage of Virginia Nicholas, M.A., R.N. owner of Pilates Core Integration and Moving Breath Pilates in Tempe, AZ. After relocating to Wisconsin Marissa opened Madison Pilates, LLC and became a mentoring studio for Michele Larrson’s Core Dynamics, INC based in Santa Fe, NM. Marissa’s deep respect for the human bodies innate ability to heal itself led her to study at Clayton College of Natural Health and apprentice with Dr. Willam Conder, author of All Medicine Is Energy Medicine. For ten years Marissa has successfully helped her clients re-educate their bodymind through the Pilates Method and Gentry Technique. In spring of 2008 Marissa founded and developed the Midwest Pilates Institute teacher training program.
