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:
- 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 €)
- 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.
- Know the complete intermediate Classical Pilates mat sequence by heart and be able to perform it fluently.

- Pilates Anatomy, Rael Isacowitz & Karen Clippinger
