Certification Requirements
-
Live in-person training to learn the fundamentals of Pilates, beginner, intermediate and advanced repertoire, and how to successfully teach a group or private session. Replays of recorded seminars available.
-
The practice part of the process comes in two equal parts:
Practice Pilates yourself. Learn the mechanics of each exercise in your own body. Practice. Practice again. Keep practicing!
Practice teaching others. This is arguably the most important component of the process. We start practice teaching on Day 1 because I firmly believe you can only learn to teach by teaching.
-
Observe other teachers at work! This doesn’t just give you inspiration, it connects you to the Pilates community as you build your professional network.
-
A written and practical exam with feedback from me finishes your course and gets you that shiny stamped certification!

This program requires attendance at live in-person seminars at the host studio.
Mat includes FOUR live seminars (4 -6 hours each). Reformer and Mat includes SEVEN total seminars.
After seminars, you complete an apprenticeship with me at the host studio and online. We schedule your apprenticeship hours around your life and needs. The more hours you dedicate to practice teaching and observation per week, the sooner you will feel prepared to test out for your exam, but there is no rush!
-
There are no prerequisites for the Mat Certification program. I recommend you take at least 5 classical mat Pilates classes (online or in person) before your first seminar.
Reformer training requires a minimum of 10 previous reformer classes or private sessions. I suggest more. ;)
-
The EYT curriculum I use gives us the ultimate combination of flexibility and high quality training.
You get the supportive in-person mentorship that’s at the heart of any quality Pilates teacher training.
AND you get the flexibility to go at your own pace, study at home or on the road, and tailor the program to suit your needs.
P.S.: This is also one of the most affordable Classical Pilates teacher programs on the market.
Full disclosure: My own original mat certification cost about $3,200 not including travel expenses and practice hours.
