The Art and Science of Contrology Certification Program is directed by Simona Cipriani, a second generation Pilates instructor to Joseph Pilates. The program offers three classical Pilates certifications for Pilates enthusiasts: mat, full apparatus and a bridge certification.

The classroom setting is held at Cipriani’s Art of Control Pilates studio, which is housed at Synergy Health and Fitness. The wellness facility in Stamford is owned by Simona Cipriani, her husband Dr. Joseph Muscolino and business partner Dr. Vaughn Bowman. Synergy Health and Fitness provides an integrated wellness approach with chiropractic, naturopathic and medical physicians; physical therapists; acupuncturists; massage therapists; yoga instructors; Feldenkrais practitioners; personal trainers; and Pilates instructors on site.

The ASCPCP certification is built upon the principles that Joseph Pilates developed and honed. Cipriani, who taught alongside Romana Kryzanowska, a Joseph Pilates protégé, will keep to the classical principles of Pilates in her teaching.
