MAT teacher training level 1

The training starts with learning the beginner MAT exercises - the basis of the classical Pilates method. You'll learn to perform and analyse the exercises with precision and control. In the theoretical part we explore the 6 basic principles of the Pilates method (concentration, centering, control, breathing, precision, flow) and other key concepts such as the 'Pilatesbox', 'Powerhouse'…

Every aspect of teaching a successful class is addressed:

  • A thorough analysis of each exercise
  • The construction of a complete lesson
  • how to give corrections
  • Guiding a group (and/or individual client)

Because you cannot start this course as a complete Pilates layman, we have the following requirements for candidates:

  1. meet one of the following requirements:
    • either have followed a minimum of 15 hours mat classes or 5 private lessons
    • or be in possession of another certified trainer Pilates certificate
    • or pass an audition (at a one-off fee of 65 €)
  2. Before starting the programme, you must have attended at least 5 intermediate mat classes at Pilates Works as an introduction to the Classical Pilates method.
  3. Know the complete intermediate Classical Pilates mat sequence by heart and be able to perform it fluently.

Reading the following books is part of the theoretical part of the course:

  • Pilates Anatomy, Rael Isacowitz & Karen Clippinger
  • Anatomy of Movement, Blandine Calais-Germain
  • Pilates Body in Motion, Alycea Ungaro
  • The Pilates Body, Brooke Siler
  • Return to Live, J Pilates
