Nofar Hagag, founder of the Nofar Method, is launching Nofar Method Academy, marking a significant expansion of educational opportunities for Pilates practitioners worldwide. For the first time, the Academy is offering educational programs outside of the official Nofar Method Teacher Certification, making the principles and techniques of this acclaimed movement method accessible to a broader community.
The Academy responds to years of requests from practitioners seeking deeper understanding of their bodies and the skills to share this transformative approach with others. These new programs provide comprehensive Pilates certification built on the foundational principles of the Nofar Method, welcoming students regardless of their experience level or professional aspirations. Nofar Method Academy offers the fundamentals of both classical and contemporary Pilates allowing for students to experience both and decide which track to pursue.
“I am excited to share this new chapter for our community. Movement has always been my language, and teaching my purpose,” said Nofar Hagag, founder of Nofar Method Academy. “Throughout the years, many have asked how to better understand their body and how to share this gift with others. The Academy was created to give you the knowledge, confidence and power to elevate your Pilates practice. Together, we have the power to change lives, to inspire, and to leave a lasting impact on every person we guide.”
Hagag counts over 50,000 Pilates enthusiasts as Nofar Method students. After a decade teaching Pilates in NYC while attending medical school, Nofar launched her method in 2019. A former NCAA Division 1 water polo player, she brings a fearless, anatomy-rooted approach to movement. In 2020, she successfully pivoted her lessons to Zoom and later launched studios in Flatiron and Tribeca followed by an expansion to Miami Beach in 2024.
The Academy will launch with four distinct certification courses designed to meet diverse learning objectives, all taught in Nofar Method’s Tribeca location:
- The Art of Teaching Pilates: Nofar Method Full Certification This comprehensive program covers Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Pre/Postnatal instruction and injury considerations. The intensive training runs from November 1, 2025, through March 7, 2026, providing students with a complete foundation in Pilates instruction.
- Nofar Method Cadillac Certification A focused four-week program from November 9 through December 7, 2025, specializing in this classical Pilates apparatus and its therapeutic applications.

The Academy’s programs are designed for individuals across the spectrum of Pilates engagement from those seeking to deepen their personal practice to aspiring professionals beginning their teaching journey. Each course emphasizes the Nofar Method’s core principles while building practical skills in movement, instruction and body awareness. This certification is in general Pilates. Graduates may audition for the official Nofar Method Teacher Certification in the future.
Registration for all programs is now open until October 20, with detailed course information available through the Academy’s official channels.
