The Complete Mat Work Training
Learn the Method at its Roots
The Complete Mat is a four-month, in-depth training dedicated to the original 34 Mat exercises as developed by Joseph Pilates.
This programme is not about shortcuts or simplified sequences.
It is a careful, progressive study of the Mat as a complete and intelligent system — taught with clarity, rigour, and respect for the Method.
Over the course of the training, you will learn how to:
understand and teach the full Mat repertoire, step by step
build classes that are safe, precise, and adaptable
work confidently with beginners while holding a pathway toward advanced practice
develop classes that evolve with your clients over time
The Complete Mat equips you to teach classes that are not only effective, but thoughtful, dynamic, and sustainable — supporting both your clients’ development and your longevity as a teacher.
At Pi, we believe the Mat is foundational.
Nothing is left out, and nothing is rushed.
This training is ideal for:
aspiring Pilates teachers
movement professionals deepening their practice
teachers seeking a clearer, lineage-based understanding of the Mat
The Complete Mat is not about copying choreography.
It is about learning how the Method thinks — so you can teach with confidence, integrity, and care.
If you feel called to study the work deeply and carry it forward responsibly, we welcome you into the training.
