Foundational Mat

This is the first step to becoming a Pilates Process™ certified instructor. In this course we teach you the Mat Level 1 + 2 repertoire along with modifications. These exercises are the building blocks that will set you up for the later equipment courses.

We introduce our Pilates Process™ Principles, the basics of functional anatomy, postural analysis and programming, cueing and communication and practice teaching in a creative, supportive and fun environment.

Certification

The exam is comprised of a practical and written component of which you must pass both to achieve certification.

To become a fully certified Pilates Process instructor, you must complete and pass the separate exams. We separate this from the course to allow time to integrate the material and practice teach.

We advise waiting 3 - 6 months before taking the exam to allow for ample time to study and finish your practice teaching, review and observation hours.
