Instructor Training Program

Mat Instructor Training Program

The Pilates Mat Instructor program is an excellent choice if you do not have access to apparatus but still want a good education in Pilates. The Mat repertoire includes exercises suitable for almost everyone at any age, and the market for your services as a Pilates Mat Instructor is vast. Pilates Mat work can be taught to individuals, small groups, in-person, and online – all you need is a mat and floor space.

Progression Through

Training Levels

Knowledge of the human body is essential to prepare to teach Pilates. This course covers anatomy, movement mechanics, and postural analysis, building a strong foundation for safe and effective instruction.

Learn foundational Pilates Mat exercises, focusing on alignment, breath, and core strength. Develop cueing, class design, and assessment skills.

Advance your teaching with intermediate exercises, rhythm, and precision. Learn to modify movements, integrate props, and challenge experienced students.

Your Path to Certification and Growth

Diplomas & Continuing Education

All Certificates of Completion and Diplomas are valid for 2 years.
After that, you can take Continuing Education courses with Corpus Studios™ to update your diploma.

You are required to obtain 10 hours of Continuing Education Credits (CECs) every two years in order to maintain your diploma, from the January following your last exam at Corpus Studios to the January two years later. If you are a continuing student with less than 2 years between courses, then your most recent course counts as your CECs.

Future offerings are listed at www.corpusstudios.com

  • Corpus Studios regularly offers workshops that can serve as a source of continuing education for Pilates teachers. This keeps your Pilates knowledge fresh whilst reminding teachers what it’s like to be a student. Consult the website for the number of CECs per workshop.
  • 1 private class with a Senior Corpus instructor counts as 0.5 hours of CECs.
  • If you train in another discipline such as Yoga, CoreAlign®, GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS®, Feldenkrais, Alexander, massage, or complete another fitness certification, these can be considered as CECs. Contact Corpus Studios about the number and acceptability.
  • At least half of your CECs must be in the Pilates discipline.
