View Mat Work Teacher
Training Course Schedule

This course is designed to meet the growing demand for pilates teachers pursuing this aspect of the work only. Mat Work is the basis of the Pilates method and is offered in a unique and exciting way. Taught to make it applicable for many different settings and environments, in addition to the full compliment of Mat Work exercises, the students study how to integrate small apparatus into the Mat program. We encourage students who master this program to use it as a springboard to the Comprehensive Teacher Training Program.

The Mat Work Teacher Training Program is offered in two different formats to allow students the greatest flexibility in selecting a program to fit their schedule:

• Independent
  Presented as a separate teacher training course consisting of 6 days, 6 hours per day
  
  
• Integrated
  Students attend the first 6 modules of the Comprehensive Teacher Training Program where the focus of the work is exclusively on Mat Work.

In either case, the course for all Mat Work students includes:

• Formal Study
  
  
• Observation
  
  
• Student Teaching
  
  
• Assignment
  

All lectures are conducted at the Host location. It is recommended that Observation and Student Teaching hours be completed at the Host Location or one of our Affiliate Studios. However, these can be done at any studio and are logged by the student. We trust that the student recognizes that this is a valuable part of the educational process and will take responsibility to fulfill this requirement in the best way possible.

Prerequisites:

• Familiarity with the teachings of Joseph Pilates
  It is highly recommended to have familiarity and experience in Pilates Mat Work before embarking on this course of study
  
  
• Study in basic anatomy and physiology
  Although it is recommended that this be a college level course, it is also acceptable if it is part of another area of study such as a massage therapy, physical therapy or some other similar program
  
  
• Experience in a related form of physical activity
  Over the years it has become apparent that experience in other physical activities is extremely beneficial. This allows the student to relate and compare the work to past movement experience
  
  
• Teaching experience is recommended
  Teaching is a learned skill, an art and a natural talent. Any past teaching experience, even in an unrelated area will contribute to the process of becoming a teacher of the Pilates method
